Well I'm not Stephanie but we recently got back from our first WDW trip ever and we did see Illuminations. I had wondered if we would enjoy it because of some reviews I read but honestly we loved it. The kids DD12, DD10, and DS9 (he is Autistic spectrum among other things and cognitivley he is more like 6) all enjoyed it. The older two asked me alot of qestions about the story and Jonnie just kept pointing out the fireworks and pyrotechnics and they all liked the music. I would make time to see it again in a heart beat but we are fireworks people and DH and DS like pyrotechnis so it ws right up our alley. If you guys enjoy fireworks and the kids will enjoy a show that is partially lights, partially fireworks and partially pyrotechnics then you will enjoy it. Hope this helps some.
