Best place if you can get it is in front of the castle in the middle, however this gets busy about an hour before so long wait. If you find somewhere off to the side, and move about a bit you should be ok though. We saw it twice with friends who had a 9 year old son and he saw fine both times. It's quite easy viewing as takes up the whole castle iykwim

No it's close enough but you may have a tree or two covering bits of it.

we have a great spot for viewing dreams as I am also a shorty :-) Just behind the control house/booth there is an open area by the fence that has a great view between the control booth and some trees. We always find this spot empty up till about 10 mins before dreams starts. It gives a great view for 2 people!

as i havnt been for over a year am i right in thinking the control both is by casey the walkway to frontierland....and in front of the castle how far forward can you get is it roped off????
sorry this is the one thing in my trip i want to get right.lol( apart from finding courage to go on TOT again.lol)

We've had terrible few months with dad's health so really want to make these few days special and having a great spot for dreams is the impotant part of this trip :D  so fingers crossed :thumbs:

thanks

You can get to the front of the path that leads to the castle iykwim. Where you would step up the curb to get there the rope starts

We found a good spot last December, just across the road from the Dreams control building behind the railings. If you stand right up by the railings noone can get in front of you at the last minute and you get a pretty clear view of the castle. Both my 5 year old and 8 year old got a good view without me having to hold them up.

i am only 5" 2 we stood on the curb of central plaza when we where there at easter, but as others have said we where there a good hour before dreams stared, but we just sat down and made ourselves comfy for the wait then stood up just before the show started. you will have a few heads in the way but its a great view, and again the kurb comes in handy to boost your height a little, good luck in finding a good place
