Can you take still pictures of fireworks with a handheld camera?

My wife and I plan on visiting EPCOT Center this winter, and I'd like to photograph the fireworks display from the shore. Two years ago, I had no tripod but suceeded in taking pictures of another BIG fireworks show using a handheld camera, with ISO 400 film, a 28-70mm zoom set at 35 (f 3.5) and 1/30 sec. speed. Can also use a 50 mm 1.8 lens or, if need be, a small (6 inch tall) tripod. So, is handheld photography possible in this case, or should I stick to the tripod?
