Best spot for Illuminations

[jacobsmommy]

We have decided last minute that we want to come back to Epcot tonight for Illuminations. I haven't seen it in a long time. What's the best spot for viewing it?

There are so many places to view IllumiNations at Epcot's World Showcase

that are wonderful in each of its own way that its futile to try to list them... so I will.



• Bridge between UK and France

• Norway area

• Upper level (outside front terrace) of the Matsu No Ma Lounge in Japan

• Italy, near the Gondolas

• Mexico, at the new Cantina

• Mexico, bridge to the right of the Cantina (as you face the lagoon.)

• UK, the Rose & Crown outdoor dining area (ressies required.)

• UK, just to the left of the Rose & Crown (as you face the lagoon.)

• Many, many more great spots.



Be sure to avoid any tree branches that block your overhead view,

and watch out for any "islands" in the water

that block your view of the "center" of the lagoon.



On a busy evening, arrive at your chosen spot 45-60 min. before show time.



Most Important Tip:

Don't stand down-wind of the fireworks.

Their SMOKE will ruin the show.

So, If the wind is blowing into your face as you look towards the Lagoon, you are in the wrong spot.

I agree lots of great spots but the last two trips we have gravitated more towards the Norway area. But honestly wherever I am dining for dinner I just stay around that area and all have been good views.
