Who am I kidding, I'm sure I'll have more later. :mickey:

When we're in Epcot IllumiNations starts at 7:00. If we want to have dinner at Restaurant Marrakesh and then watch the show afterwards what time should I plan the dining reservation?

Thanks again!

Question, when are you going and where did you find Illuminations running at 7:00? I was looking at their operating schedule for the rest of the year... Illuminations runs at 9:00 every night, except for the few nights where it is at 9:30, 10:00, or 10:30... No where does it say 7:00.. Unless that was a typo...

But either way... If you are looking to catch Illuminations, Nat's times are about right... 5:00 or 5:30 should give you enough time to sit around, eat, and then leave to find a spot to stand for illuminations... 6:00 would even work...

Shoot, I meant IllumiNations was at 9:00. We're going in mid January.

It's all good... I figured you meant 9, but thought maybe you saw something somewhere and I missed it... Smile

I usually grab my spot around 8:00... So dining at 5:30, 6:00 should leave plenty of time to grab the spot you want...

BTW, great choice for dinner! Love their food and the restaurant is amazing for atmosphere! Loud, but fun. Enjoy - I'm so jealous! Smile

I'm glad to hear that. I've been trying to talk my family into trying it for YEARS and they finally gave in. :mickey:
