There are some views obstructed by trees even in the front section.Īs you're strolling around world showcase just look at the barges. Disney Cruise Line Returns to Tropical Destinations in Early 2024 Bookings open to the general public on December 15, 2022.

But any unobstructed view is a good view. I can't know for sure but it seemed to me the views from the back section (Italy, United States, Germany) were more distant than those from the other side too. You can kind of guage then what your view will be. You'll be able to see the barges for the show in the daylight. Also from about half way through France around to Japan is bad with an obstructed veiw. DH & I will be in Epcot the next evening,11/9,as we purchased Half Marathon post party. Haven't been to WDW in 12 years and the reviews I'm reading about the R&C aren't glowing. Those fill up quickly too because they're most convenient for those wanting to leave via the front gate. I'm having second thoughts about my ressie at Rose & Crown on 11/8, just to get a spot to see Illuminatioms. The other coveted spots are from Norway across to Canada. As a result, it is of high demand and you have to get there early. The bridge between England and France is a most coveted spot because people want to ger right out to their hotel and it's the best spot near that area. When we run late or we just don't want to sit a long time to secure our spot, that is where we head. The further to the side you are the less you will see. By the time we got to the bus stop, we only had a one bus wait. To get a good view you are best to try get in the main circle area directly in front of the castle. For D-light the most important thing is to be opposite the castle, on the hub or on Main Street. We stopped at a couple of the stores and sat down awhile and took our time. So we took about 40 minutes to stroll out of there. So we didn't bother to hurry from there to get out. We stay at Pop and that line backs up at the bus stop. These spots aren't as popular because they are most inconvenient to either exit gate. Your view will be obstructed either by the dock or by an Island. To the right of that dock and over through China is no good whatsoever. Make sure you're too the left of that boat dock and not under a tree. The lake where Illuminations is huge and really everywhere is a good spot other than behind a tree, so its fine.The best spot with less crowding that isn't an obstructed veiw is from Germany to the left of the boat dock over through Italy. You can only choose one of these in advance so choose Test Track or Soarin. A few favorite locations include: between the Mexico and. As far as Illuminations goes, the fastpass is probably an even bigger waste because that fastpass is in tier one, which includes Test Track, Soarin, and Illuminations. There are great places to watch EPCOT Forever in nearly every pavilion around World Showcase. While we wait for the parades, we eat dinner/snacks and many times cast members bring out games/activities for the kids(hula hoops, bubbles, etc.) We also might have some people in our group save seats while some others shop along Main Street or go on a ride one last time. Then you can just walk up the street to view the fireworks. We have decided last minute that we want to come back to Epcot tonight for Illuminations. The fireworks are best viewed from Main Street so choose a spot 30-45 minutes early either in the castle circle or about halfway down Main Street. Although some are still mourning the closing of IllumiNations on Septemand (to a lesser extent) Harmonious (sorry not sorry) with the rest of the 50th-anniversary celebration, we love Epcot Forever, with its perfect mix of nostalgia, courtesy of a delightful revisiting of old-school Epcot tunes from the Disney songbook, and. Everytime we're at Epcot for Illuminations, we end up walking from spot to spot trying to find THE spot, then only to end up with some obstructed view because we ran out of spot hopping time I know some of the prime spots, but I don't want to stake my claim hours in advance.

We don't like the idea of using up a fastpass for MK since there are plenty of good viewing areas for the electrical parade up and down Main Street and in Liberty Square/Frontierland as well.
