Done for the Day

5:16 pm Orlando time. Done for the day. Feeling disappointed, wasted the bulk of the day, anxiety still really high. The idea of not having heard meaning I haven't been cut, has pretty much faded. I think I just want to know and move on, get my focus back.

Let's try a DMP question, get some good WDW vibes going!

Hi, We are visiting Epcot sometime from 22 - 31 October 2010 and wondered which restaurant gives the best view of the 9pm illuminations. Thanks

- Asked by Ju from Guernsey on 10/2/2010


There are only a couple of the World Showcase restaurants that have viewing of Illuminations, the Rose and Crown in the United Kingdom, and the new La Hacienda de San Angel. Both require ADRs(Advanced Dining Reservations), and the tables for Illuminations viewing go very quickly. Call Disney Dining at (407) 939-3463 as soon as possible to check for possible seating times available.

Having never gotten an ADR for Illuminations, I can tell you that there are many locations around the World Showcase Lagoon that provide perfect viewing of Illuminations. On most of our trips we position ourselves on the fence in front of the Mexican pavilion. On our last trip we actually ended up on the bridge between France and the United Kingdom and had a spectacular view.  Depending on the crowd level during your trip, you will want to stake out your spot approximately 8:15-8:30, to ensure front row viewing. Check out your spot for trees, as they can obscure the higher fireworks. Our family usually splits up, one half safe guarding our spot, while the other half go find food(excellent fish and chips at Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the United Kingdom!)

Have a wonderful trip to Epcot.
