ok, this might be an incredibly dumb question. I'm reading a WDW guidebook and it says we can use FastPass to see Illuminations. Why? Isn't it visible from many points around Epcot?

Yes it is. The FP is for special viewing areas if you want the best spot to see it.
Gee, thanks for agreeing with me. And thanks for the info, that helps. Last time I was there the special viewing areas were free!

No problem!! We don't ever use FP for parades or fireworks. We rather use them for attractions.
Welcome to the world of Fastpass Plus.
There are tons of great viewing areas for Illuminations that don't require a FP. They offer FP because the park has so few attractions and they need more FP capacity.
I appreciate the clarification. I was at WDW twice in the mid-70s and several times in the mid 90s & early 00s. Things changed a lot from the first times to the second, and now they've changed a LOT again. This may well be my last visit, I'm not getting any younger and the prices are insane! We're pretty comfortable financially, and we're using an airline companion fare & hotel membership points for a free stay and it's still going to cost a bundle. But it's our retirement celebration so we said what the hell. It's amazing to see how much they "penalize" guests staying off-site! I understand the economic philosophy behind it but it sucks! For example I only have 30 days to reserve FastPasses and have to do it at 4 am. The tens of thousands of Disney guests have a month before me.
Ok, whining over.
