Rather than watching the night time fireworks which take place every evening from The Magic Kingdom, you can easily watch them at Disney’s Hawaiian themed Polynesian Resort instead, its preferable, as it’s so peaceful and calm, you can sit out on the beach, pull up a deck chair and gaze up across the lake. I Prefer this rather than having to deal with the mad crowds at MK. One fact about the Polynesian Resort, which lots of Beatles fans will probably know already: In late December of 1974, John Lennon put pen to paper and officially dissolved The Beatles here. While they had publically announced their breakup years before, this final moment officially sealed the fate of the band. John and May planned to spend Christmas in Florida, leaving New York for West Palm Beach. After the holiday, an Apple lawyer brought the contract for Lennon to sign at Disney World, where he was staying at the Polynesian Village Hotel. So with the Magic Kingdom as his backdrop, he picked up his pen and officially finished off the Beatles right then and there. The date was Dec. 29, 1974. The actual room they stayed in is contested - different people state different things, put apocryphally it was said to be in Room 1601. #polynesianresort #beatles #waltdisneyworldresort #fireworks #disney
