I like to watch IllumiNations in front of the Canada pavilion, and then walk in the opposite direction around the WS. By about Japan the crowds have thinned out, and you can really enjoy a special vibe of having the WS to yourself!

I remember the curtains starting to go down again and thinking "that's it?" Of course I still enjoy the entire show, and am no longer disappointed when the whaling captain isn't actually turning the wheel.
