Epcot Fireworks from a Resort Restuarant?

[MapleGirl]

Are there any resort restaurants that have a view of the Epcot fireworks?

 

[Hopefully]

Sorry I mis read your question.
No there are no resort restaurants with an Illumination view.

Rose & Crown has an outdoor patio & many have great views of Illuminations. You can request a patio table but you can not wait for it you must take the first table available or loose your ADR. They do have a private outdoor patio for guests seated inside with a good standing view only for restaurant guests.
La Hacienda has a very few tables with an incredible view, many with a fair view and some with no view. Again you can request a table with a view - everyone does. But you have to take the table offered.

As Hopefully said, there are no Epcot resort restaurants that have a view of IllumiNations. Truthfully, IllumiNations is not really that visible from any locations outside of Epcot. You can see some of the higher fireworks from the Epcot resorts, but you can't really see the globe or the lower level effects.

(I know this is not what you meant, but I actually did see the fireworks for IllumiNations from the back observation deck of CA Grill. They were tiny and it took me a moment to figure out what they were, but they were visible. They don't pipe in the music or anything like they do for Wishes, so I don't recommend going to CA Grill to see IllumiNations, but if you're there and happen to be out on the deck around that time, you could check it out.)

Agree with PPs. Illuminations isn't really a fireworks show like Wishes is. It takes place on the lagoon involving the World Showcase, with some fireworks set off at different points during the show.

PATIO-or-WINDOW SEATS FOR FIREWORKS:
. . . you CANNOT wait for a patio or window tables or make an ADR for such
. . . you must take whichever table is offered when it is offered.
. . . if not, your ADR is canceled.
. . . too many people would wait for a viewing table.
. . . if they didn't get it they left, so, there were unused tables, lost revenue.
. . . now, the policy is you take what is offered
. . . the Podium person verifies you will take the offered table
.
SEATING ASSIGNMENTS, THE NEW WAY: (almost all TS eateries)
. . . in most cases, the Podium person has no control over seating
. . . with the new system, the Seat Assigner determines your table
. . . the Assigner walks around with a computer and assigns the next table
. . . this assignment is then printed out at the podium
. . . the Seater then takes the printout and leads guest to the table
. . . the printout info also includes party size, adults/kids, DDP, special diets, etc
. . . this is done without any consulting with the podium people ahead of time
. . . once assigned, it almost takes and Act-of-God to change the table
. . . to change tables, requires a lot of computer work for the Assigner and Podium
. . . if you want to try for a good seat, get an ADR 2-2½ hrs before fireworks
. . . then, hope you get lucky
.
NOTE1:
. . . Even with the above policy, some people get a viewing table when asking for it.
. . . If eatery is not too busy, which doesn't happen often, they try to accommodate.
.
NOTE2:
. . . for the best chance at a viewing seat/table, make ressies 1-3/4 to 2 hours before event
