I don't know if this has ever been asked. Where do you think is the best place to watch Illuminations?

I've found that Canada is absolutely wonderful!

Where does everyone else watch?
 
I wanna know, too!! We watched from the balcony of the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Japan but the big red gate kinda obstructed the view:(
 
There's been many a thread on this, but I'll post again, it's a great subject!

My two most favorite places: The Rose & Crown from the patio, a risk as you can't be sure when you make your PS you'll get the patio. But it's sure something to try once in your life. The Budget plan: Lagoon-side in Germany. In September. Whadda view...

I also like Norway, Stave Church "porch" if it's raining, and the International Bridge.
 

I think the best view is at that little Cantina in Mexico. Not the San Angel but the fast food joint across the street. Go around dinnertime, have a lite snack and set up camp at one of the outside tables right by the water.....Great
 
We also like to watch from Mexico. Nice seats and a nice view. But get there early!
 
I like Mexico, but not quite at the cantina. I love to stand just to the left of the ring carver (near the margarita stand). Perfect view! Germany is also great, as is Italy if you can get up against the railing or on top of that little bridge.
 
I usually sit on one of the planters at the International Gateway island. Although the view isn't as good as some other spots, you don't have to stake it out hours in advance either.

I've also seen it from the little park to the left of the Rose & Crown, but that's reserved for private parties now.
 
I love Germany for this! We come out from a nice meal at the Biergarten on one of the nights of our trip and enjoy it.

We took advantage of our Guest Assistance Pass this last trip (son is autistic) and watched from the base of the world showcase. It was incredible, but we enjoyed Germany much more a few nights later.

My experience with over by England is that the smoke seems to blow that way!

I'll test out the other locations in three weeks. Solo trip, so it's easy to squeeze one little me into a little spot somewhere all three nights I'm there.
