Does Anyone Else ALWAYS Watch IllumiNations And Wishes?

[WEDWDW]

I have watched IllumiNations and Wishes many times.I know that during these shows is a good time to tour because most of the Guests are watching them,but I ALWAYS watch the shows when I am in the parks at that time because they are so good.I just don't want to miss them.Does anyone else do this?

IlluminaNations: Not always. Wishes: YES we always stop and watch.

I always watch them. If I got to go more often maybe I'd be ok with skipping them now and then but for now I'd feel like I missed a big part of the magic.

[Robindianne]

We always watch both. Love them. I can get teary just remembering them.

Not always IllumiNations, but always Wishes. Wishes is amazing.

Illuminations is a must for our arrival night...It is my favorite!! (DD(6) and I listen to the CD all the time!) We don't miss Wishes either!!!

What time will Wishes start if the park closes at 8:00?

 

[Sooze]

Illuminations is our ultimate favorite!!! The music makes me tear up every single time!! If/when they ever change this amazing show, we will be sooooo disappointed! We never tour during this either.

Wishes on the other hand.... love the fireworks, not so entrigued by the music. Definitely tour during this one, because you can see the fireworks from almost anywhere.

Then there's Fantasmic... which we LOVE, but CANT STAND the chaos of going an hour and a half early just to get a seat, then fighting the crowds to leave. Sometimes it's jut not worth the stress.

We don't get to the World that often so we never miss them when we are there! And they are always better than we remember!!

 

[ugadog99]

We watch both multiple times a trip. I can't wait for our December trip to get to see Holiday Illuminations....it even tops Wishes!

 

[Timmbco]

Oh my gosh...WE LOVE ILLUMINATIONS!!! I play in in my car too.
We don't care much for Wishes.

 

[ogreenlee]

Will this "Holiday Illuminations" be going on Nov 16 or 17?

I'm going to have to get the park hopper for the two days. There is something going on in all the parks that I want to be see!!!

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Absolutely... no matter how many times I have seen them I have to watch Illuminations and Wishes! Last trip I even left the rest of my party at Epcot so I could hop over to MK and see Wishes. My other must see every time is the Spectromagic Parade!!

I absolutely love Illuminations and Wishes, but I didn't know there was a Holiday Illuminations. Does anyone know the dates for the holiday version? I'm going January 2nd and would love to see it.

 

[Luv4Disney]

Of course! Must-do's for EVERY trip!

 

[PamNC]

Yep - we ALWAYS see both. Wouldn't miss either. Sometimes we see them twice. We USUALLY see Fantasmic but once in awhile we'll skip it depending on the duration of the trip.

By the way - we're going in exactly 2 weeks! 14 days! I can't believe it! I plan on seeing all three....and a little Osborne Spectacle of Lights to boot!

Illuminations, several times each trip, maybe 4 or 5 times, Wishes, usually twice. Both are great.

IlluminaNations: Not always. Wishes: YES we always stop and watch.

Just the opposite-always Illuminations, but only once a trip do I see Wishes. When I'm solo, I stay at BCV, so I see it every night, either in the park (one night I entered at 8:45, from the beach, or from my room. When DH and I go, we stay at OKW, and even there, everything stops at 9:00 so that I can at least see the high fireworks (usually from the bridge on Penninsular Road.

 

[kellypooh]

On arrival night, after dinner at Boma, we go to IllumiNations. And the day we spend at Magic Kingdom is always ended by watching Wishes. Fantasmic we also do with the dining package so we don't have to stand in a line for an hour.

There really isn't a Holiday IllumiNations.It is IllumiNations followed by a holiday "tag"."Let There Be Peace On Earth" is played while MASSIVE amounts of fireworks go off.There is a narration by Walter Cronkite and a voice from each participating country gives a greeting while that pavilion is illuminated.IT IS AMAZING!I think it is only shown during the month of December.
