ADR and Restaurant for Illuminations

[Alibaba]

Hiya
Going in a year with some first timers and i am starting to think about where we would like to watch the fireworks etc in Epcot, and thought it would be nice to incorporate this with a nice meal, Which restaurant would you recommend, and what time would you book for?
Last time DH and i went we had our meal in Rose and Crown, and although it was nice, i think i would prefer to try somewhere different, also any tips on getting a good table for the illuminations.
Also is it 90 or 180 days to make an ADR?
Ooh also there will be a 8 and 5 year old with us (not that i think that matters in disney does it?)
Many Thanks
Ali

Rose and Crown is the only table service restaurant where you can watch Illuminations while you have your meal - and then only if you are lucky enough to get an outside table.

You may be able to get a glimpse of the fireworks from a few other table service restaurants like the Chef de France, Bistro de Paris and the Japanese restaurant, but it wouldn't be a clear view and I'm not sure you would hear the music.

You will be able to see Illuminations from the counter service restaurant in Mexico (Cantina de San Angel).
