Time for Illuminations after dinner?

[PinkBudgie]

Going mid June. We have a 7pm ADR for Via Napoli. Don't know how long it takes to eat, I'm guessing about an hour? Will we have time to get a spot for Illuminations after eating? And if so, where should we go to see it? I've never been so I need some directions that are easy to understand. Or should we go to Illuminations on another night? Thanks!

Yes, you should be fine. After dinner just make your way out to World Showcase and find a spot. Any place that has good views of several countries and the center of the lagoon, without a lot of trees overhead, would be good.

7pm, You will have more than enough time. If your a large group plan 60-90 minutes for dinner..For most groups 4-5 avg 45-60 minutes. When done walk out front of Italy and find a nice spot and enjoy the show.

There are so many places to view IllumiNations at Epcot's World Showcase
that are wonderful in their own way that its futile to try to list them... so I will.

• Bridge between UK and France
• Near the twin gift shops at the entrance to WS from FW
• Norway area
• Upper level (outside front terrace) of the Matsu No Ma Lounge in Japan
• Italy, near the Gondolas
• Mexico, at the new Cantina
• Mexico, bridge to the right of the Cantina (as you face the lagoon.)
• UK, the Rose & Crown outdoor dining area (ressies required.)
• UK, just to the left of the Rose & Crown (as you face the lagoon.)
• Many, many more great spots.

Be sure to avoid any tree branches that block your overhead view,
and watch out for any "islands" in the water
that block your view of the "center" of the lagoon.

Best Tip:
Don't stand down-wind of the fireworks.
Their SMOKE will ruin the show.
So, If the wind is blowing into your face as you look towards the Lagoon, you are in the wrong spot.
