IllumiNations is Epcot's great outdoor fireworks spectacle which incorporates a laser light show and inspiring scenes and music! It is a tribute to the nations of the World, the climax to an amazing day at Epcot and one you will not want to miss! Most people line up all along the lagoon up to an hour to claim their favorite spot. The most obvious location being where Future World and The World Showcase meet. However, I suggest beating the crowd and trying a lagoon-side restaurant for a relaxing night of IllumiNations! My favorite place to dine and watch is at [...]

I couldn’t wait to see them as the photos looked great!I booked a water view and requested Jamaica or Aruba, and was given an amazing first floor room in the Jamaica section.

However, I have found some strategies to [...]
