9:00 at park close.
You can stay a bit later if you are already seated for dinner however.

Edit: If you want a wee bit of the same later on, head over to Raglan Road at DTD.

Yeah wasnt impressed with the food there but at night there always seems to be a good crowd

R&C is one of the best vantage points for Illuminations, get a late reservation eat, enjoy the Hat Lady and then finish with Illuminations. A great night.

The place is a second home. Just love being there. The CM's are excellent. We havent eaten in there for a good few years now, but it is The place for illuminations (even if the wind is blowing we'll be sitting there).

And crush dude, last orders not long before RoE. However, the best times to be had are when its evening EMH - it feels like a 'lock-in' and great time to speak with the bar staff and other guests.

A perfect time to teach, along with a CM a slightly drunk American how to 'welcome' people in Scotland. Funny to see him trying to make the gesture. Hopefully he won't remember it for when he arrives at immigration at Glasgow :lookaroun

That he is. Only saw him this year when he wasnt working. Lynda, Nathan, Sophie Stuart and the rest, all of whom are excellent, especially Lynda and Sophie, looked after us last year! And you'll not go wrong if you spend a few nights in there....always good!

I can tell you....went to Rose and Crown on my december 08 trip.it was my first time at Epcot. got a tip from a friend to get adrs for Illuminations time.

After an LONG day...met my inlaws and made our way over to R&C.we were there a good 30 mins. early.

Walked over to the kiosk and was told there was a problem with the reservations system....They were working on it and wouls seat us a.s.a.p.

8 really hungry people gave me a funny look when i told them wed have to wait a little longer.

Walked over and got a bunch of Bass/guniness on tap and went to watch the Beatle band...My wife was getting upset because she has hypoglycemia and can have a sugar crash .not good.

Got to our seat 40 mins late.....Got seat right on the Patio up against the railing....The waiter was fantastic Young guy from Ireland named jarrod I think. He made some suggestions and we trusted him enough to get what he thought we might like....

My kids sat at the next table with grandman and grandpa Leaving my wife and I to have a Nice meal alone.

The Meal was without doubt the best meal Ive ever eaten at Disney and possibly the best meal Ive eaten in my life...........

Illuminations is awe inspiring and we had the best seats in the house....

Even with the goof up It was my best Wdw dining experience ever.

My mother in law and father in law thanked me for getting the reservations and really loved it. Everyone loved the food and the Show.

R&C is great. I have strong Irish and English bloodlines, and feel "at home" in that entire pavilion, even though I've never actually been to the UK.

Anyway, I've only eaten the Cottage Pie, and loved it. Best variation I've had, but the others were mostly my own pathetic creations, and a few from some local Irish Pubs here in town that feel much more branded than authentic.

Service was fantastic, but I had to giggle (and fake naivety) when he explained the different beers in the Imperial Sampler to me as if they were completely absent in the States. I could have differentiated these common beers (that I drink all the time, sans Strongbow) from aroma alone. I just ordered them up because for the price, is the best beer-bang-for-the-buck at the WS.

I'm guessing you need to book a table 190 days out if you want to watch illuminations while eating??? I'm definitely going to put that on my calender.

Well its def wise to book 190 days out in order to get a dinner at the right time to be there for illumination, roughly 7 45 or shortly after :wave:

But there is no way to guarantee an outside table, this was my 3rd time eating there and my first time sitting outside! There is also a small viewing area you can be taken to if you are sitting inside and want to watch the fireworks but the outside seating area is much nicer!!
