LAST CALL : This cache will be ending December 31st.
No logs will be accepted after this time.
General Info:
This cache was originally created by
arejaybiker in November 2001 and with permission taken over by
TrendyMagic (yep that's me) May 2004.
This is a
road with a great view of "The World", Walt Disney World that is.
The coords above will take you to an entrance of a landfill which
will give you a great place off the road to park and enjoy the
view. The new coords above are down the road a little bit from the
original ones. Here the view is better due to recent land
development in the area.

Other
info:
Here is some other info that you might enjoy know before you go to
this cache. When you look out to the southeast you will see some
very familiar sites, mainly Disney things. Directly in front of you
is the Magic Kingdom. You should see Space Mountain without
trouble, Cinderella's Castle will take some work to see. Moving
right you should be able to see many hotels, most notably the
A-frame Contemporary Resort just past space mountain. Looking a
further distance to the right you should be able to pick out the
Epcot park. Epcot is the one that looks like a giant golf ball.
Just past Epcot is the Disney-MGM Studios which has the tallest
attraction at Walt Disney World: The Tower of Terror. If you have a
real good eye you can pick out the newest Disney theme park, Animal
Kingdom. Since the icon for that park is a 14 story tree it blends
in fairly well. A good eye can pick it out.
I would
suggest visiting this spot at night. The fireworks show from the
Magic Kingdom, Wishes, is the closest and launched from two
different areas. Also you can see parts of the Illuminations
firework show from Epcot. Below are pictures of both and a schedule
of when the shows will start. Wishes is the better of the two to
view from here if you had to decide on one. As always with Disney,
they can change anything at a moments notice so check the calendar
at
DisneyWorld.com for any known changes.
