Illuminations Dinner

[DisneyDiva2006]

Is there another restaurant besides the Rose and Crown pub that has great viewing of the Illuminations Show at Epcot?

Looking to be able to eat dinner while watching the show but was not impressed by the Rose and Crown Menu.

Thanks!

There will be others who can help you more but I can tell you what I've been told. Bistro de Paris allows for a limited view of Illuminations if you are lucky enough to get one of the few window seats. I was asking a similar qusetion and that was the response I had gotted.

I'm sure you'll get some posts from folks who have actually been there too!

Your only other real choice is Counter Service at the Cantina de San Angel in Mexico. There are tables outdoors that have wonderful views of Illuminations. Be aware, however, that people can stake out these tables up to 90 minutes ahead in the busy season.
Rose & Crown is the only full service restaurant that has Illuminations views. Also, you are not guaranteed a table outside on the patio here. You would need to request it when you checked in at the podium.
We have been seated outside 3 times and inside twice, so there is no guarantee. They do have a spot outside where folks seated inside can go out and stand to watch while Illuminations is on.
