my DD 7yrs old is a big fan of tinker bell, where is the best spot to see her come down from the castle , and dose she fly after every fireworks show or just the one at the end of the night?

we will be there on the 31st for the party at night and i don't want to miss it.

Tinkerbell* flies from the castle, towards the Tomorrowland Noodle Terrace, and if you look during the day, you can see her wire. On the Tomorrowland side of the hub, on that bridge, is where I've seen Tinkerbell best.

HOWEVER, I was too far away from her during the last couple of Halloween parties, but it might not be Tinkerbell during the parties! Supposedly, she may be replaced with a witch.

She actually flies during every fireworks show, but it's not at the end, so don't be late!

I THINK it's still there (but they keep changing the stuff in the area, so I have troubles keeping up between visits!) there is a shop in the first floor of the castle - if you're walking from Main Street to Fantasyland, it's on your left after you go under the archway. In there, if you're the first person to ask, you can 'wake up' Tinkerbell, and even if you're not, you can go in to try to see her flying around!

As you are looking at the castle, Tinkerbell flies down from the right hand side over the bridge to Tomorrowland, to like around where the noodle place is behind the Laugh factory.
The best viewing spot from my own experience is around the hub area in front of the castle (like near the "Partners" statue) to the left of center of the castle.

Of course, opinions and ideas may vary as it is a balance between seeing Tink and a good shot of all the fireworks.*

*ETA: Saw Drince's suggestion after posting.... kinda funny. (I was thinking along the lines if you wanted to see her fly the longest... go where I mentioned. Wanna see her close up - follow Drinces idea. :) )

We always get a table, at least 2 hours before the fireworks, at the Terrace Noodle Station,to the right of Main street working your way into Tomorrowland. Theres a small overhang with no shelter overhead, and when Tinkerbell flys down, she goes right over your head! You can see the wire during the day, to make sure your at the right place. My kids have seen her since they were 3, now 16, and still love watching her! It is before the start of the fireworks show. I will admit, it still gives me goosebumps, after all these years!

Definitely do what Drince suggests and wake up Tink! I had read about this for years so last year, I finally asked if I could do it. There's a whole little ceremony and your daughter will get (at least I did) a Magical Moments certificate and stickers. One of those wonderful little experiences that I find so magical.

I still find myself waiting breathlessly for Tink to fly whenever I see Wishes. From the left side of the Castle, up at the end of Main Street, you can see her pretty well in silhouette but no features or details. From where Drince and GusMan said - thumbs up!

it's typically only done once a day (although i think i've heard they may reset her for EMH) and my group was actually the 2nd of the day to do it, but i digress.. normally it's only the first guest who asks in the morning as soon as it opens.

it's done at tinker bell's treasures which is in fantasyland behind the castle.

i have to say i personally find it a lot of fanfare for little reward.. you don't actually see anything either that you don't see throughout the day which is tink 'flying' across the store from her box to the sewing drawer which is really just a series of fiber optic lights and chimes.. and the drawer itself has been broken for years

I was wondering about the so called tink drawer...so it is obsolete at this point in time?

essentially, yes.

Please note that Tink's flight is subject to weather conditions. If there is some rain or wind, do not expect Tink to fly.
Also worth noting is that Tink flies in the first 1/4 of Wishes, in the first 1/3 of Holiday Wishes, towards the end of Magic, Music, and Mayhem, and at the very beginning of both Fantasy in the Sky shows (4th of July & New Years.) Tink does not make an appearance in HalloWishes.
