Many guests love to spend plenty of time in Epcot on a Disney World vacation. Guests can explore the four neighborhoods for attractions, dining, shopping, and entertainment. With so many amazing experiences to enjoy in Epcot, no day there is complete without enjoying a nighttime show, which brings World Showcase Lagoon to life. “Luminous the Symphony of Us“ is the current fireworks show at EPCOT.
Despite World Showcase Lagoon being massive, guests often line up as early as an hour before showtime to guarantee the perfect view. While there are plenty of places to enjoy “Luminous the Symphony of Us,” some spots are not so great, and some are just okay. Guests who are looking to have the perfect view of the fireworks on their next visit to Epcot should choose one of the spots listed below and get there at least an hour before showtime! Here are the six best viewing spots for EPCOT fireworks.
1 – Japan’s Balcony
The Japan Pavilion in World Showcase features beautiful traditional architecture, including many tall buildings with blue slanted roofs. Guests who are looking to find a unique and amazing viewing spot for “Luminous the Symphony of Us” should head into the pavilion and climb some stairs for the perfect location. The largest building in the Japan Pavilion is home to the Mitsukoshi Department Store on the first floor, which sells a variety of souvenirs, including kimonos and stuffed animals. The second floor of the building is home to the popular Tokyo Dining Restaurant, a full-service location open for lunch and dinner that serves traditional Japanese cuisine. Guests who head up to the second level of the building near the entrance to Tokyo Dining can enjoy a beautiful balcony that offers sweeping views of the fireworks.
