The search function hasn't been working for me in two days so forgive my questions.

1.) How long is Illuminations?

2.) If Illuminations starts at 9, what time do I need to try for a PS at the Rose and Crown if I would like my dining to be during Illuminations?

3.) I have PS for California Grill for 7 on a night that the MK fireworks Wishes is supposed to be at 8pm. This should work out to see Wishes, Right?

4.) I read somewhere that one of the resorts has bothe Monorails going through it, Is that the Contemorary?

5.) If I have ps for Rainforest Cafe in Animal kingdom, the park will be closed before we are done.... Will there be taxi's or some way to get back to the other parks?

I thank you all for taking the time to help me with my questions :wave2:
 
Illuminations takes about 15-20 minutes. I would think maybe a 7:30-8:00 PS for R&C.

I would think your CG PS is fine.

The Contemporary has the monrails going through it.

And yes, transportation will be available from AK.

Enjoy. And for search, try to get online before 6 AM or after 9 or 10 PM, usually works then.
 
1. around 20 minutes, but that's a guess
2. 7:30 is a common time to request, but do remember that there's no guarantee you will get a seat outside on the patio, and some of those tables don't have a great view. R&C has a small menu and our experience is that the food is served very quickly, but staff are used to people sitting and relaxing and waiting for Illuminations. If you don't have an outside table by 8, there may not be one open up because everyone is staying.

R &C has become less willing to let people 'wait for a patio seat', telling them that they need to take whatever is available. When we were there, CMs were talking about the people inside coming outside to watch Illuminations, but it was a cold night and very few people stayed.

3. 7PM would be fine. Again, if you're hoping for a table with a view, it may or may not happen. If your table doesn't have a view, there are 2 outside observation decks and if you let your server know that you want to see Wishes, they will try to schedule your meal courses around that.

4. Yes, the CR.

5. Yes, and buses may also run late --- someone else will probably post about that.

Hope you have a great trip!
