I know this may be a strange question… But i just made all of my fast passes and I got everything (including A&E) except illuminations fireworks. I knew it would be hard because of soarin' closure but I was shocked to see it totally full so fast.
1. So do you just check everyday?
2. Also is it worth it?
3. We have a 6:30 dinner ressie in italy so I was hoping to walk right out to watch fireworks after…
4. We are traveling with a 2 year old so i thought the fast pass would make it so much easier.
thanks for any help!
1. Yes, or even more than once per day.
2. FP for IllumiNations is unnecessary,
3. You'd have plenty of time to dine and choose your own viewing location closer to Italy.
Epcot's Italy is literally THE farthest point away from the Illuminations FP viewing area in World Showcase. The two places could not physically be any farther apart.
4. Not necessarily. The FP+ viewing area may or may not offer any better views (due to crowd-level in the viewing area or even poor wind-direction that night.)
There are actually
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
• 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.
Most Important 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.
