What an amazing finale to an exciting day at Epcot! You will view the show from a special VIP viewing area and you will enjoy delectable desserts as part of the experience. The party is $49 for adults and $29 for children. The IllumiNations Sparkling Dessert Party is another fun way to secure a great view for the show. Your chances will be greater if you make reservations well in advance to ensure that the time you are requesting is available and if you avoid visiting during peak times.
#FASTPASS ILLUMINATIONS REFLECTIONS OF EARTH WINDOWS#
Keep in mind that Disney cast members cannot guarantee that a table on the patio or by the windows will be available, but they always do their very best to accommodate your requests whenever possible. The table where we were seated was in the perfect position to see the show (and the food was fantastic too!). We also stopped by 2 hours before to make sure that our request had been received. When we made the reservation, we included a request to sit on the patio. I recently had dinner on the patio of the Rose and Crown and the view was absolutely amazing. Be aware that not all of the restaurants have a clear view of the show or offer patio seating, so be sure to check before booking a reservation. Pictures cannot do it justice!Īnother really great option is to book a dinner reservation close to showtime at one of the restaurants that sits on the water. Stunning images are projected onto the Earth at the center of the lagoon. The viewing areas dedicated to those with FastPasses do provide a really nice view, so if you can spare one of your passes, it can definitely be worth it. Wow!) If you are visiting Epcot on more than one day or if you know you will be back soon, it may not be a big deal to give up a FastPass for one of those rides. (I recently visited Epcot during President’s Day weekend and saw a 160 minute wait time for Soarin’. Since those rides always have the longest wait times, I can see why you may be reluctant to do this. Choosing this option means that you won’t be able to reserve a FastPass for some of the biggest attractions such as Soarin’ or Test Track. If you are willing to give up one of your “group 1” FastPasses (these are for the more popular rides at Epcot), you can choose a FastPass for IllumiNations. The World Showcase Lagoon will look dramatically different at night!
