Thanks for coming to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question, Leigh! Currently, there are no regular preferred viewing locations for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. You might consider finding a spot around World Showcase Lagoon early enough so that you can sit on a bench. Usually you can snag one about an hour before showtime. Perhaps play a game of
I Spy while you wait? Some Guests like to book a dinner reservation at Cantina de San Angel (Mexico) or Rose and Crown (United Kingdom) for around one hour prior to showtime. You can make a request at the host(ess) stand for a table with a view of Illuminations. Keep in mind, this is only a request and can't be guaranteed.
If you want a special experience for viewing, an Epcot Illuminations Cruise is not to be missed. You can book a
Fireworks Cruise if it is of interest to you.
Take it slow and do a little planning for a spot. This way, your little ones won't get too restless!
I wish you a MAGICAL vacation!
