Epcot:Illuminations as a Fastpass early December?

[jerseygal]

Is Illuminations as a Fastpass advisable early December after the Candlelight Processional Show? I would imagine that anytime during December in Epcot after the CP Show that Illuminations will be pretty crowded??

Thanks for any advice!

I think most days of the year, if not all of them, IllumiNations is a poor choice of FP. See the green link in my signature for more info.

I agree. You can see Illuminations from anywhere around the World Showcase and if you aren't that excited about "the perfect spot", go to the back end of World Showcase where there are fantastic spots but most won't do that because they want to "exit quickly". After Illuminations, you aren't hurried and there are plenty of buses to take you back to your resort or, if you are driving, you just walk to your car and exit. Illuminations is the only nighttime thing my husband and I see at Disney World and we've been back in our resort room by 10:30 after the show. That's from seeing it at the back of World Showcase, walking easily to the front after the show, stopping for a bathroom break along the way, and getting into the second bus to pull up for our resort.
