Hi
Allie!
Congratulations on your 40th anniversary! I can't think of a better place to celebrate it than the Walt Disney World Resort!
I recommend booking Advanced Dining Reservations (ADR) at
Rose & Crown Pub & Dining Room for around 7:45 p.m., but get there early and ask for a patio table. This restaurant features outdoor patio seating for prime viewing of
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. Unfortunately an outdoor patio table cannot be requested in advance. While it cannot be guaranteed, you may certainly request it upon arrival and hopefully with a little Pixie Dust you'll get it. Once you arrive at the restaurant, be sure to tell the Cast Member at the podium you are celebrating your 40th anniversary. You may book the ADR online
here or by calling (407) WDW-DINE. If Rose & Crown is not available during your preferred date and time, another good option for viewing IllumiNations would be
La Hacienda de San Angel at Epcot's Mexico. For more ideas on how to celebrate your anniversary Disney-style, read
HERE. Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
Enjoy a most memorable 40th anniversary celebration at the Walt Disney World Resort!
