I have changed my itinerary AGAIN, and I have pretty much ran out of places to eat that don't have horrible reviews.

So, please tell me if I have a 7:25 pm ADR at Biergarten I can make it to a viewing spot for Illuminations on time. I can, right? If so, where should I head after dinner?

Thank you for any advice! I need to know if I have to bump up dinner to 4:45 which, I really don't want to do. :goodvibes

Will it be an absolutely perfect spot? Probably not but World Showcase Lagoon is big and there are lots of good places from which to watch. You could snag a place right outside Germany/Italy on a good night. If not, I would head toward China (not the other way) as I have found better spots that way. The areas around Morocco/France tend to fill up quickly.

Look for a spot not blocked by the small islands in the lagoon and no overhanging trees. If you can figure out wind direction, its best to stand where the wind is blowing away from you (smoke & ashes!!).

I'd show up at Biergarten (one of my FAVORITES!!) closer to 7PM and perhaps get in a little early. Try the schnitzel & gravy - just heavenly!!!

We (2 adults) had 7:25 ressies last October (on a Tuesday night) & we ate dinner leisurely, wandered around the treat shop in Germany (it smelled so good!), and started heading towards China walking. There were lots of open spots & places we could have sat, but we choose to keep walking towards the front.

ETA--we did check in a little after 7pm as well & they did seat us a little early.
