I will chime in....we stayed at the CRB 3 years ago and were able to see PARTS of Illumuninations from the beach with the best view from in front of Port Royale. Now....you can only see the portions that are in sky [which means that you miss some of the spectaular ground works], but it is a nice close to a great Diseny Day. I do suggest going to Epcot to see Illumuninations in person as it is something to behold.....but, long story short, yes...you can see and hear them from CRB.
