I personally did not think it was that special. But there aren't a lot of things we FP at Epcot anyway so it wasn't a waste of a FP for us. I felt there were these rose bushes or some kind of flowering bush right in our field of view and that if they were trimmed wayyy down the view would have been better. I don't necessarily find Epcot to be uncomfortably crowded during Illuminations so again, the FP viewing area didn't really do anything for me. If Illuninations was crowded like watching Wishes in MK then that would be a different story.
