Welcome Melannie! Thanks for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Epcot is a spectacular theme park. Attractions are fun and the World Showcase with its pavilions, is a perfect place for meeting different cultures.
If you are looking for beautiful views of
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, but also considering a fabulous dining experience, I strongly recommend
La Hacienda de San Angel. Located at the Mexico pavilion, they offer delicious Mexican food. I always suggest “Empanada de Manzana” for dessert - it is my favorite! From there you can have a prime view of the fireworks because of restaurant’s tall windows. An unforgettable experience!
If you are looking for an outdoor area, I suggest the Showcase Plaza. It’s an open area located between two merchandise locations, Disney Traders and
Port of Entry. When you walk from the Spaceship Earth to the World Showcase lagoon, in a straight line, this is the first place you see when you arrive at the lagoon. It tends to be a busy location during fireworks. I recommend you arrive there at least 40 minutes before the show.
Hope this helps your planning. Let us know if you have further questions.
Have a wonderful day!
Gina V.
