We let them know we wanted preferred fireworks viewing as soon as we could, meaning right after we confirmed the tour date in July (the fireworks were the only nighttime spectacular available last September, and we booked them outside of our tour time, along with Blue Bayou and Oga's Cantina reservations). Here is the view from our reserved seats for the Halloween Screams show (this was one of the best VIP tour perks, IMO -- great view, actual chairs, and we checked in only 15 min before the start time).
