Epcot dinner package for illuminations?

[keriannhoward]

Is there a restaurant that offers preferred seating for Illuminations, something along the same lines as the Fantasmic dinner package?

I'm dying to see Illuminations and would love to get good seats. We plan to do Epcot on our actual anniversary so I think it would be kinda romantic.

Sorry... no such plan exists.

You could try and get seating on the patio at the Rose & Crown and view Illuminations from there (very difficult to get, but a great view), or if you have the Silver/Gold/Plaitnum plan you get to view it from the preferred area at the boat launch near Morocco (pretty stinky view in my opinion). I'd suggest trying to stake out a spot near the UK. It has the best view imo.

It is very easy to get good "seats" for Illuminations. It can be seen all around the World Showcase lagoon, so there are plenty of places to watch from. Just pick a spot you think you would like, head over there about 1/2 hour before the show starts and you will be fine (some of the more popular spots fill up even earlier than that, but I am not willing to wait much longer than that).

THere really aren't good seats for Illuminations... I've stood at several diff places and always had no problem seeing it. You can stand all the way around the water and catch a great show. Just pay attention to the wind direction that night and not stand where the smoke will hit you =)

I agree with the previous posts - there are so many great spots you can get one fairly easily.

I would just pick the restaurant that suits your fancy either before or even after Illuminations. DH and I had a wonderful night watching Illuminations and then over to Spoodles at the BW for dinner after. I have heard great things about Blue Zoo, Tod English's restaurant at the Dolphin. We are from the Boston area and love his restaurants, if we have a chance to have another dinner sans kids this is a 1st choice of DH and I.

The only restaurant you can eat and watch the show is Rose and Crown at the UK pavilion. We have had luck with the patio seating only once out of 6 tries so that's luck of the draw! If you like the menu and want to dine at RnC try for a 7-715 seating and mention your anniversary. Hopefully you will get the coveted outside seating, if not you get a great meal and can still see the show by stepping outside.

If you are a magical gathering group, there is a grand gathering event that includes dinner and VIP seating for Illuminations. You have to be a group of 8 or more to qualify.
