Illuminations DP site-Vikings Landing, Canada Overlook East, or Canada Overlook West

[eroq20]

Hi Everyone, we're having an Escape Wedding this July and have been given 3 Epcot sites for our DP: Vikings Landing, Canada Overlook East, or Canada Overlook West. A couple questions:

1-Can anyone else share their experience at Vikings Landing? My concern with Vikings Landing is that there is not a lot of seating available as it's mostly a "standing" location. My consultant said they could bring in a few chairs and I've seen on in other pics that there is a bench available, but I have 3 elderly people attending and so they for sure will want to sit most of the time. Is it a hassle for everyone else to stand the whole time?

2-Does anyone know the difference between Canada Overlook East and Canada Overlook West? I've been scouring the web and I saw 1 reference to East and West on another DIS thread, but there was no discussion about the differences between the two. Anyone have any background on this?

P.S. I have emailed my consultant about the difference b/w East and West, I'm just being impatient

Update re: my 2nd question about the difference b/w Canada Overlook East vs. West. My consultant said that, basically, it's Canada Overlook split in half to accommodate 2 small dessert parties (mine is about 23 guests). The site would be split by rope and sectioned off to keep the 2 parties separate. She said there was no real difference between East and West, so I just chose East. I ultimately decided to go with Canada Overlook since it seems this site will have more seating than Vikings Landing.

Oh ok thanks for the update! I chose canada for the seating too. Hope someone is not using the other half though might be a little intimate?
