Yes, I've tried all of those locations, and they are each worthwhile.

Dumbo clocks in at third place for me. Firmly in 2nd is .... over by it's a small world. And pretty as they are, I think the small world projections are but a fine thing to catch out of the corner of your eye while you are almost completely immersed in the spectacle of the most astoundingly beautiful pyrotechnic shells going off a few yards in front of you.

This is pretty much the background layer of the multi-dimensional Remember show, and it is - by itself - the greatest fireworks show ever put on by the hand of man ... without all the other embellishments that put Remember so completely over the top.

From here, you can still see some of the hub fireworks and sometimes the Matterhorn (if they keep the crowd back on the Small World Mall), and yes, the facade projections are kewl. But the experience of the main pyro "layer" at close proximity is what's killer about this spot ... my 2nd favorite after the now-aptly-coined F-Spot.

Each shell is a gorgeously realized, perfectly themed amazement. Episode after episode, it's the highest form of pyrotechnic theater yet concocted.

And if they let the audience get around near the stroller areas, it doesn't matter that your view of the hub and the Matterhorn are gone - - This is as close to fireworks as Disney will let you get, and it's fantastic. (Closer still, they sometimes let people onto the hill leading down into ToonTown. Alas, tho I've seen Believe from this spot many times, I've never caught Remember from here -- and not for lack of trying.)
