Two years ago they had the regular Illuminations at around 8 pm, then they did an extended Illuminations with a salute to USA and blasted off another 3,000 fireworks.
I found a place for Illuminations at 5 pm and stayed there through both shows. We had enough space for the two of us but at around 9 pm the CM's made everyone move up and we were squished so close to the fence that I could hardly breath. This year I am going to find my seat early again but hopefully they will not pack us in. Peggie
