With the park still at capacity, it's still possible to watch the fireworks show from other Walt Disney World parks, however there is another way to watch from anywhere.
This year, Disney will also stream the last fireworks show of 2018 online. Watch below starting at 11:45 p.m. The show should start at 11:50 p.m.
