Best Fireworks Show???

[DonaldDC]

Hello,

The family including MIL/FIL are going for one day to the parks (after convincing them that it would be a crime to not go to WDW when you're 10 minutes away ) But having said that MIL is most interested in the fireworks show. I have not been down in almost 3 years. Which park would you say has the best fireworks show? We're thinking of spending the day at HS, but think MK has best show

Appreciate your thoughts and comments!

Honestly my vote is for Epcot Illuminations!

 

[starrysky]

While I love Illuminations for me it would have to be Wishes at MK. There is just something so magical about that show.

There are few things more spectacular than watching the fireworks over Cinderella Castle. However, I also think Illuminations at Epcot is pretty amazing, and probably more impressive to those who are not strictly Disney lovers.

Wishes at MK hands down, allthough Epcot is nothing to miss either!!

 

[JoShan1719]

Fantasmic! is my all-time favorite, followed by Wishes. I don't like IllumiNations, I get bored about three minutes in, but most people love it. You could always look on youtube to see videos of all three and decide which one you like more.

Illuminations: Reflections of Earth at Epcot for sure!

 

[Liv4Dis]

My vote would be for Wishes at Magic Kingdom. Also, on some nights they have the Main Street Electrical Parade about one hour before which is pretty amazing as well.

I'm guessing your buying a single days ticket for the park that day or you park hopping? In either case id prob do MK, one thing for sure you can't go wrong on what you choose, tough to choose not knowing your options... have fun)

 

[HWY20RIDE4MYSON]

wishes is on Itunes not sure about the others, but im sure you can catch them on youtube, scout them out and decide then use it to make whatever day at the park you chooose

Wishes by far for me atleast. There is something breathtaking, emotional and magical about that show. The music is beautiful, the fireworks are great and with the castle as a backdrop you can't go wrong !

Depends, if they are Disney fans nothing beats Wishes. If they are only mildly entertained Illuminations would have a bigger impact. Personally I prefer Illuminations of the three in WDW. If you want the best Disney show go to California Adventure for World of Color.

Exactly what do mean by "Fireworks show" because there is only one fireworks show in all of WDW and that's Wishes.

Now if you mean best end of day show thats another thing, but if you are only looking for fireworks you would be slightly disappointed with Illuminations since it only has a few near the surface and Fanyasmic has very little.

If you're only going for one day, my vote is "Wishes." Make sure you watch "The Magic, the Memories, and You" beforehand, though. That is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. My second favorite, though, is "Fantasmic!" Amazing. But for just one night ... you really cannot stand there in front of the castle with that statue of Walt & Mickey silhouetted in front of it without being moved.

Wishes!

It is classic and the best IMHO.

 

[kaligal]

Wishes is the best, with illuminations an extremely close second. They're both excellent for the park they're in, though.

Fantasmic is a distant, disappointing, pathetic third.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. For me, if I do not see Fantasmic on my Disney vacation, I am a sad, sad guest. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Wishes and Illuminations, but Fantasmic is my pixie dust. Wishes is second and Illuminations is third.

If you want to just see fireworks, I believe that Wishes is the way to go. However, if an entire show including fireworks is more what you have in mind, I strongly encourage you to check out Fantasmic!

 

[Liz&Griff'smom]

Definitely Wishes! I love watching Tinkerbell fly from the castle.

 

[jesswindsor]

For me it's Wishes, I love Fantasmic, and Illuminations, but there is just something about wishes, I think it's the fact that it's behind the castle.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

Wishes! Makes me cry every single time! I really enjoy it if it's a night where I can get MSEP, Magic Memories and You, and then Wishes.
