Originally Posted By gardenrooms Done it (2 years ago), loved it, doing it again this year. Don't expect to be able to sit at your table to view - people get up and stand along the railing, which really seems to bother some people, but there is plenty of room and it is very relaxed and we really enjoyed it. Tink flies right overhead. Very cool.

In Epcot I like to stand in front of the Canada pavilion. It kinda looks like this spot isn't that good, with trees and rocks in the way, so it doesn't fill up early. Get there 15 minutes before showtime and you're in a perfect spot with a great view.
Originally Posted By Tiki1 I've done the dessert party and while the sweets are good and plentiful, the view of the fireworks is not ideal. People will move up to the railing, and there are many more people than the available railing. Compounding the problem is the overhead, which blocks the view of some of the fireworks. Remember too, the fireworks are centered on the castle, and the party sets up the viewing from the side. I like standing where Main Street meets the hub.

For the evening parades and fireworks, I like standing outside Casey's hotdog shop on Main Street. For EPCOT, I prefer viewing from Germany. Part of the problem with Illuminations is that the trees have grown up so much around the World Showcase Lagoon that unless your right up against the railing then your view of goings on in the World Showcase Lagoon are blocked. Part of the fun of watching various parades and firewords displays at WDW is watching them from different locations.

For epcot fireworks anywhere around the lagoon is cool but you need to get in place early.

Originally Posted By gardenrooms Thanks. At least that explains why I couldn't figure it out. Not being a local, I'll probably never get to go to it.
Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom I know this has been mentioned before and I still firmly believe that it would be great if there were more places to sit down in all the parks so parade viewers could rest their weary feet.
