Beaches Club - viewing Illuminations?

[waltdisneymama]

Hello,
We are thinking of going to Beaches and Cream while at WDW. I read somewhere that the beach at the Beach Club was a good spot to view Illuminations. Is it? I was thinking that we could take care of two things at once if we combine them. Or do you think that it would be better to watch Illuminations from somewhere inside Epcot and go another time to Beaches and Cream? Is it quite easy to get to the Beach Club resort from Epcot?
Thanks!!

You can see the high fireworks from the beach. I like standing on the bridge better than the beach personally. If you have a hopper pass just wander into the park. Beaches and Cream is a great little place, but it is little and there will probably be a line up before illuminations. But then again I'm not sure of their hours either!

Thank you for your response! If you can only see the higher fireworks at the Beach Club beach, do you think that a person would miss very much; ie., would we be much better off to view Illuminations from inside Epcot, to see more of the lower fireworks? (I hope that makes sense.) Or from the bridge, is the view fairly complete?

If you haven't seen Illuminations before, I would recommend being in Epcot to watch it - a lot of the show is lower down and I am not sure what laser effects, if any, you would see from the bridge.

I haven't seen Illuminations before, so I think I will plan to see it in Epcot then. Thank you!
