rose and crown for illuminations

[spedtcr]

We got priority seating for 7pm at Rose and Crown, but just realized that's 2 hrs. before illuminations. Should I cancel and enjoy the park instead? We're only at WDW for 2 days!

I would try to change it to 7:30. If you show up at that time or a few minutes early, you'll probably be seated between 7:45 and 8:00 and you'll be eating or enjoying dessert while you watch Illuminations. We always ask for a 7:30 seating and have never gone wrong with it. I suppose you could stretch your meal out from 7:00, but you'd really have to take your time ordering and eating (maybe have a drink before you order) in order to still be there at 9:00. There comes a time at Rose and Crown where, even if you have time to kill, they all know you're not leaving before the show is over.

Good luck and enjoy. I love Rose and Crown!

I don't usually get priority seating for illuminations unless I've seen it already from outside that trip. I dont know, I just love sitting on a bench outside taking in all the sights and sounds of the experience. for me, thats pure disney magic!!

also if you dont eat a sit down dinner, you can spend the entire day seeing future world and in the evening stroll through the countries which everytime i've been down their has been less crowded at night.

Well, that's my 2 cents.

I hope you have a magical vacation!
