Hello, David,
May I be the first to wish you and your husband a Happy 35th Anniversary! Since you'll be celebrating at Epcot, I think making your meal a special one is important,so I'd try to have your dinner overlap Illuminations: Reflection of Earth so you can enjoy both occasions together. To do this, there are a few options. My first thought is the new Mexican restaurant
La Hacienda de San Angel. It is a beautiful restaurant with delicious food. It is also has some spectacular views of the Illuminations from within the restaurant. A second choice is also a new restaurant
Spice Road Table at Morocco that captures many flavors of the Mediterranean and also has many tables with views of Illuminations.
Rose & Crown Dining Room is in the United Kingdom and offers traditional English foods. It, too, has some tables with views of the fireworks on the waterfront. I also think these restaurants have a variety of menu options at different prices so you could keep your dining within a budget you are comfortable with.
When you arrive at the restaurant, make sure to request a table with views of Illuminations and to mention your anniversary celebration. In fact, you could even call 407-WDW-DINE beforehand to ask that a note be included in your reservation. While I can't guarantee a table with a view, I'll be sending you some virtual pixie dust that it all works out.
Happy early anniversary and may you have a magical trip! -
Kara
