Fantasmic!

Animal Kingdom
Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade

If I missed any other major shows please let me know! Thank you so much for your help::MickeyMo
 
Stars, cars, etc at MGM is way short and nothing I would stake out a seat for. Fantasmic on the other hand, it completely worth it and I would strongly recommend a dinner package, if financially possible, so you don't have to wait in line hours for a seat. The package guaruntees your seat. Jammin Jungle at AK, is upbeat and entertaining and covers almost the entire park. It is easily viewed from many of the ride lines which eliminates having to SIT AND WAIT. Illuminations is not to be missed!! It is BEST, in my opinion, from the deck in Mexico around the lagoon.
 
I'd put a priority on:

Magic Kingdom - Spectro Magic and Wishes, both fabulous. The first can be seen well anywhere on the parade route (on your map) but I like Wishes standing in the middle of Main Street, just past the stores.

Epcot - Illuminations, a wonderful experience anywhere you can see past trees and with the wind at your back

MGM = Fantasmic! spectacular and you get to sit. The dinner combo is worth it.

Animal Kingdom - Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade is a lot of fun and anywhere along the route is fine, though you get to see it twice standing in Harambe.
 
I loved Cinderellabration, it was pretty cute, if you have little ones...try and get up close. Share a Dream Parade...Awesome! esp for your first time! We always stand over the "Libertytown" side of the bridge, just at the end of the path next to the castle? make sense??

Wishes---makes me cry everytime. I like to stand on the end of Main Street, but I hear in Fantasyland is a great spot too. Also, just by the pond by those tables....great spot.

MGM=stars and cars parade....pretty short, but it's cute. We watched from right at the end of their route, near the entrance. You feel 'closer' to the stars in that parade it seems like. The little kids seemed to really enjoy the 'up close' feel.

Epcot==try to not miss it. There's really not a bad view.

Now, Have fun!!!! :cheer2:

Wishes - Go by the exit for the Snow White ride, which is a gift shop and walk out a bit - best spot in my opinon you have a view to the left and right

Epcot
Illuminations

MGM
Fantasmic!

Animal Kingdom
Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade - there is this circle seating area with plants growing out of it - this can be found a little ways down from the Kilimanjaro entrance - if you sit there, you can see the parade twice - once as it is going and once as it is coming back! :bounce:
