Best nighttime entertainment/parade/show/fireworks?

[marshallandcartersmo]

We're leaving in 22 days and I'm starting to freak out!!!!!!!!!!! DH, myself, 2DS's (5 & 2) and my parents, for a week, staying offsite. I thought we would skip nighttime entertainment and just spend the days at the parks, back at our condo for swimming and relaxing at night----but I realized, this is my boys first trip---they need to see some sort of nighttime entertainment!!
I would only like to be in the parks 1 or 2 nights, which fireworks/shows/parades do you think are best and where are they? We have 6 day passes, and we're not park hopping. thanks!

Fantasmic at MGM - not to be missed.

Magic Kingdom - night time Spectro Magic parade (view it in Frontierland - hardly anyone will be in your way!), and definitely Wishes fireworks right afterwards at Magic Kingdom - watch for Tinkerbell!! I saw it twice on March Break - wonderful. I agree also not to miss Fantasmic at MGM, especially with children.

You have to do a night time show. My choices are Wishes and Spectromagic in MK and then Fantasmic in MGM (try to arrange a Fantasmic dinner package so you don't wait in line) and my least favorite ( don't flame me) is Illuminations. I like all the shows and would never miss them on any trip but this is just my order of preference. Have a great trip!!!

My only "must do's" are the Spectromagic parade and Wishes fireworks - we would skip both Illuminations and Fantasmic without too many regrets, if we had to.

For my husband and I it is Wishes.
