Best way to do it! At the Towers we would watch from our balcony. One year the slider locked us out...lol....thank goodness we were well inebriated and calm as we had been drinking Prosecco during the fireworks display.

That's funny, Leona, and we had the same experience one year.
We had just purchased an additional unit that year and it was our first time staying in it. We didn't realize the slider lock on that unit was as sensitive as it was and just the act of shutting the door would causeit to lock. Yikes!!
Thankfully, for us it happened in the middle of the day and there were lots of people around and we were able to get the attention of one of the maintenance men. At first he seemed to think we were just waving to him as an act of friendliness and then he realized our situation. No fireworks and no Proseco but in the end, a generous tip for the maintenance man once he came to our unit and let us in.
Ah, the wide variety of SXM memories - mostly good and a very few not so much, but so many with a touch of humor that we get to look back and laugh at ourselves and the situations.
Respectfully,
pat

Well, don't just leave us there, Leona! How did you get back in? Sounds as if Pat had pretty much the same experience! lol A bit of yelling to another balcony also sitting outside, and having them call help for us....oh what a night.
