Best viewing areas for Happily and Illuminations

[WelshSara]

Where did you go to watch these night shows? I'd like to try and pinpoint the best possible places. Do people stand? Sit?

I heard something about the bridge near the french pavilion...
I am going to try that spot when i go in July.

Thanks. I'll give that a go.

Any advice for the Happily Ever After show?

For Epcot we sit(or stand) on the bridge between England and France (a couple of boats moor below here so should be a good spot) and in MK we sit(or stand) on the AstroTurf area in the hub in front of the castle.

We sat on the bridge between England and France for Illuminations, it was a great view, although I think anywhere round the showcase is good. We watched Happily Ever After from the train station at the top of main street, the projections weren't as clear as if we'd been closer but it was an amazing view of the whole of main St and quick out afterwards!

I thought the train station was shut, if not that's where we'll be watching them from tonight, we watched Wishes from there and its a great spot

No it's open but the trains aren't running. It's a great spot to watch from!

It's not as good as being close up and that's the oky negative of being up there. You still get the general gist of it and can see a lot of the projection but obviously not in as much detail. For us the benefits of the elevated position, view of all main street, less crowds and a swift exit at the end outweighed the one negative of not seeing every projection close up but everyone is different.

Great tips, thanks OP for starting thread! Out of interest, at the end of Illuminations can you exit via the walkway that takes you to boardwalk area? Never done this before but likely to be in France area for the show and just curious! Thanks x
