We are in awe at the IllumiNations fireworks we have seen. We found a great spot near Paris, a little enclave surrounded by park benches, gave us privacy and a great viewing area for the parade and fireworks as well. You are close to the action, can feel the fire, you are right next to the speaker, and are close to the exit. But, if you are in a rush to see another late show like FANTASMIC! or the Electrical Parade then I suggest next to the 2nd planter to right of the first gift shop at the entrance to the World Showcase. If Epcot is where you are ending your day, then I suggest watching from the bridge at Italy, it has a fantastic view. My favorite places to watch the show are as follows. IllumiNations Reflections of Earth is by far my favorite show! I do have to say that World Showcase Plaza is my favorite viewing point. After our meal we ordered a couple of pints and enjoyed the show. We made sure we got there early enough to get a front row seat and also enjoy a great meal. The spot where we enjoyed watching the show was at Rose and Crown Pub. Throughout the show the globe has projections on it that tie to the music. If you watch outside the park, you miss the music, the fountains and the globe itself. While it is possible to see the fireworks from some locations outside of Epcot the best way to experience the show and the message is from inside the park. It’s a great viewing area and you are close to the International Gateway. Once you know that, you can choose one of many locations around the lagoon.įolks staying in the Epcot Resort area that want a quick exit back to their hotel can stand on the bridge between the United Kingdom and France. The number one tip is to pay attention to the wind direction so that you don’t have all the smoke blowing your way during the show. What are Your IllumiNations Viewing Tips? Watch the Epcot 30th Anniversary Finale “tag” which features music from Epcot’s past. Watch the Holiday Finale “tag” which features narration from Walter Chronkite. Watch the 4th of July Finale performed to Glory Glory Hallelujah. These “tags” are special fireworks/music added to the end of the regular show.
