Best fireworks?

[dancin Disney style]

Hello everyone!

If you can only attend one of the evening events which one would it be?

------Wishes or Fantasmic or Illuminations-----

 

[Aimeedyan]

You'll get a WIDE range of answers on this one

We don't care for Fantasmic honestly. Once was enough, though it is more a show then fireworks with characters, movie clips, etc. Can be a little scary for young children. ONce we saw the DL version, we were sorely disappointed by WDW's.

Illuminations is great, and we love it! Lots of fire, lasers, music, etc.

If I had to pick one - it'd be Wishes. It's an incredible fireworks show, and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. It's VERY Disney, and well done.

Although I like both Fantasmic and Illuminations, It's Wishes by far.

The Christmas Illuminations is a close second. I wish they would do that ending all the time.

I know what it is not on your list but Sorcery In The Sky is the best Disney has to offer. I have seen all of the different fireworks displays in the "World" and I have to say, hands down, that if you are in the World when they are showing Sorcery In The Sky at MGM, that is the one to catch. They only show this one twice a year (New Years and 4th Of July I think) and it is not to be missed.

Other then Sorcery In The Sky, I would have to say Wishes is the best.

Have fun!!!!

WISHES EVERY TIME

Wishes comes in 1st, with Illuminations a close 2nd. I agree with the above poster who stated that Fantasmic is more of a show then fireworks, i couldn't agree more. You really can't compare either wishes or illuminations to Fantasmic, they are just too different.

 

[videoman]

Could I ask...which one is wishes????

 

[undertheseas]

I guess I'm the odd man out, I love Fantasmic! Wishes is THE Disney experience, I would say if you could only pick one then it should be Wishes but I really love Fantasmic. I'm so excited about our next trip so we can see all of them more than once, it's hard to choose a favorite!

Wishes is @ the Magic Kingdom, Illuminations is @ Epcot, and Fantasmic is @ MGM. All on a Nightly Basis.

Wishes-----GAME OVER

Wishes is our first choice followed closely by Illuminations.

 

[WDW_bn_dt_gb]

Our fav is Fantasmic followed closely by Wishes. Our least fav is Illuminations. All of them are wonderful!

 

[SR]

Fantasmic is my favorite...They are all wonderful but I feel Fantasmic it the best. We plan to see it at least twice while we are there.

I feel like the odd one out here

I love watching illuminations.

What happens at the end of xmas illuminaions Cranbiz?

 

[SyracuseWolvrine]

This past winter, they added a 4 minute "Let there be Peace on Earth" 'tag' on the end of the regular Illuminations show. During that 4 minute span, there were a large amount of additional pyrotechnic effects (I heard someone say 800 in the 4 minutes)

(because, honestly, nothing says let there be peace on earth like a bunch of carefully coreographed explosions )

(Or, as some people called it, the "we've got an extra box of fireworks to use up" ending.)

 

[reedycreek]

definitely wishes, although illuminations is a close 2nd. i think wishes has more of the disney magic though, which makes it better.

 

[WaltD4Me]

WISHES for sure! It personifies Disney to me, I even bought the CD and I love it! I'd go and watch Wishes every night on a trip if it were up to me, except for one night that I'd have to go to see Illuminations because I love it too. As for Fantasmic, I could take it or leave it. It was good, but it's my least favorite of the three.

 

[Tinkaroo]

IllumiNations used to be our favorite, hands down.

And then there was Wishes....

The first time I saw it in the parks, I cried at the end. 'Nough said. Enjoy!!

 

[scoutsmom99]

another vote for wishes! I just watched it tonight with a friend who was over...She was really impressed with the show

 

[DisneyDar]

Nah Uhhhhh-uhhhh---!!!

Best fireworks on property are New Years Eve at Epcot.... No comparison to anything I've ever seen, and I've seen 'em all....
