DH and I had the most fantastic experience at Rose and Crown (England). We told them at check-in that it was our anniversary, and they seated us in a little table for two in its own little nook, right on the water. Illuminations began just as we were served our dessert!
Not only that, DMIL and DFIL were back at the resort with our children, so it was even a real date! One of the best experiences I've had a WDW, and I highly recommend it. I don't know how the view is from other seats, but where we were we could see EVERYTHING in Illuminations. I still get goosebumps thinking about that perfect night!
