Rose and Crown Timing

[Soccer Princess]

There are only 6:40 or 7:55 reservations at Rose and Crown are available the night we will be at Epcot. Which of these would give us the best chance of getting to see Illuminations fireworks (9pm) from there? We will order drinks along with dinner. Thanks!

I have mine at 7 and I keep thinking that's too early!! Waiting for the answer to this....

I would think that the 7:55pm would work because it's only an hour away.

The problem is that other people may be thinking the same thing and making their meal longer to stay and see Illuminations too. So you need to be prepared that you might have a long wait for a table and most likely won't be seated at a window.

Did this last week. Had 7:50 reservation for four people. We took our time drinking and ordering. Illuminations didn't start until 9:30pm. Managed to eat dessert during the show and it was amazing. Servers were surprisingly patient and not pushy to get us out! Enjoy! It was a perfect night!

Definitely 7:55. Request a patio table when you check in, but there is no guarantee and most everyone does request it. If you are seated inside, there is a private viewing area for R & C diners. Your CM can escort you there to view Illuminations. You will be standing, but it is a good view. If you are a bit behind, you can view Illuminations after you finish your entree, then go back inside and have your desert
