Best Spots for IllumiNations

That picture is from La Hacienda de San Angel which is outside and not from La Cantina de San Angel which is inside the pavilion. My wife and I like to stand between Canada and UK or between China and Germany. We haven't tried any of the restaurants but would love to sit on the patio at Rose & Crown eating and drinking while watching.

There are a lot of great places to watch Illuminations from, in the past we always sat over between Germany and China, I would have a bratwurst with sauerkraut and a pint of Becks beer. Becks is no longer offered. Also they had benches near Germany, now they are reserved for special occasions.

The quick serve area at Rose and Crown with outside tables is not available 1 hour prior to the show. People take chairs and save them while the rest of their group are out in world showcase. One night I bought the fish and chips and had no place to sit, there were plenty of tables just no chairs, I asked several people to use a chair while I ate, the answer was no they are saved, I didn't want the chair only to eat my dinner, I wasn't even staying for Illuminations that night, they would have gotten it back.

I have suggested to Disney to cement the chairs in the ground to prevent this from happening. If you go and the chairs are in cement, you know who suggested it.
