Remember Dreams Come True, Fantasmic or World of Color? Which is your favorite?

[HydroGuy]

I would like to know which show is more of a favorite to everyone here. Here are the groundrules before you vote!

1. You must have seen all three shows

2. You need to have seen RDCT from the hub or Main Street where it was designed to be seen.

3. Preferred if you have seen the updated Fantasmic with Murphy the dragon - but OK if you have not.

For me RDCT and WOC beat Fantasmic easily. Fantasmic is a great show, but RDCT and WOC are spectacular shows.

It is actually really hard for me to choose between RDCT and WOC. I am tempted to choose WOC because I have seen it more recently and remember what I felt. But RDCT I felt similarly - and I have seen it four times from the hub. I am going to choose WOC over RDCT - barely.

I think this is a really good poll. I've seen WoC 7 times and F! and RDCT many many times.

I think I like F! the best though. When I first saw WoC I probably would have voted it the best, but now I think I like F! better because it has a better story. I'm assuming we are only considering the current version of RDCT and not the full version. If that's the case I think RDCT is third. In its full form I probably would still have RDCT third but it would be close.

In any case I would put these three shows ahead of any wdw night shows as well.

It's really a tie for me between World of Color and the Fireworks I love them both. We did the F desert package earlier this month and I am glad I saw it but I really don't think I would do it again. My kids do love F though so they would pick that over everything else.

Wow, how can you choose a favorite of these three...

If I must, I would probably say Fantasmic because of the music and the incorporation of the characters. This is no disrespect to RDCT or WoC, as they are both amazing as well. Just my personal preference. And Hydroguy, IMO, Fantasmic is also spectacular

But I also agree with sportbettor that I would see any of these three over any WDW show.

In a few weeks I plan to see all three, so hopefully I can fine this thread floating around when I have enough education to contribute.

As it is now I've never seen WoC or F! at DL. So we will see. I'm not wondering how Murphy is going to affect my feelings for F!.

 

[jernysgirl]

F! for me, has always been my favorite. The music gives me chills every time. I have seen RDCT and WOC, and while I do love them both, they don't compare to F! I think for me, it is the nostalgia factor. F! has been around longer than both of those shows and I have seen it many, many more times. I know that I am going to be in the minority here, but while I thought that WOC was technologically amazing and very entertaining, I didn't love it as much as most people here. Personally, it is not something that I would spend a lot of time agonizing over if I didn't see it next trip, which I would do if I didn't get a chance to see fireworks or F!

Really, REALLY hard to chose on this one. I was blown away with World of Color....loved the whole thing!! I never miss the fireworks....I'll stop where ever I am to watch them.....really missed seeing this show this summer! Also am amazed at Fantasmic.....but if I miss it....I'm not devastated....sad but will survive.

I went with World of Color......I really wanted to see it again & again....there was so much going on.....I couldn't take it all in. I'm sure there were tons of things I missed....which will make the next time almost new again. I loved the soundtrack & how they mixed the classics, live-action & pixar all together.....a nice mix!!

This is so difficult, I love all three nighttime shows. But if I have to choose one I would choose F! over RDCT and WoC.

The music for F! is well coordinate with the show, the show uses a lot of different cast characters for the show, fireworks, boats (Columbia & Mark Twain) and of course Murphy the dragon. F! is a classic nighttime show that has been in the park for over 15 years and I have seen it ever since it debut in 1992. The upgrades over the year are great to enhance the show since it began in 1992. Almost every time I go to DL when F! is running, I will always be there for the first show at night and watch the fireworks after F!.

I love RDCT and WoC, but F! at DLR is a classic show and is still my favorite nighttime show of all time.

The fact that the poll is so close shows that all 3 are simply amazing!

 

[figment_jii]

I always love fireworks, so I have to go with Remember Dreams Come True. Second would be Fantasmic! and third would be WoC.

I would also agree with sportbettor about any of the regular nighttime shows at WDW, but HalloWishes (during the MNSSHP) is my absolute favorite nighttime show at a Disney theme park.

The fact that the poll is so close shows that all 3 are simply amazing!

Very true. I'm curious if this trend will continue or with more polled that disparity will start to show. But as of now, I think this expains why getting a spot for viewing is such a great issue.

 

[HydroGuy]

I have to admit that after my OP I feel a bit like a traitor to RDCT. Part of me is glad to see it in first place.

 

[sportbettor]

but HalloWishes (during the MNSSHP) is my absolute favorite nighttime show at a Disney theme park.

Hm...this really makes me want to go to WDW for halloween

So, I read the ground rules and did NOT vote since I have yet to see WOC. However, I have seen F and RDCT. And I have the soundtrack to WOC and have watched much of it on youtube. I am looking forward to seeing it in person soon, but I can honestly say that the feelings evoked from RDCT are about as good as it gets for me. I can't imagine liking anything more. I love the way it incorporates part of Walt's opening day speech, as well as how it pays homage to the attractions in the park. It is Disney nostalgia at its very best! And, for me, it is the perfect finale to a perfect day at Disneyland.

I'll vote after I see WOC in a couple weeks. Got my ponchos ready. DW and I are going front and center

Bump

 

[marcemc]

How can you really choose???

Fantasmic: Mickey fighting a fire spitting dragon and then getting on a boat with all of his friends to celebrate !!

WoC: Water, lights & music never looked so awsome!! Some of the movie scenes from WoC gave me goosebumps.

RDCT: Most magical firework show Disney has. I cry at the end everytime.

 

[SeattleTink]

This is super close for me...but RDCT is first, then WOC, and finally Fantasmic.

But, I LOVE all three.

RDCT sets the bar so high that any fireworks pale in comparison to this show. I just saw Magical the other night and it was fine, but nothing compared to RDCT.

WOC was and is truly amazing. I had this huge goofy grin on my face the entire show. I am hoping to see it again tonight.

Fantasmic is a FANTASTIC show...we saw the new Murphy on Thursday - and he is great.

I really do love them all.

 

[HydroGuy]

I have been thinking about why I chose WOC over RDCT in the OP. I think it is that RDCT is more narrow. It is focused on the Disneyland park. It looks inward. WOC is more broad and looks out at the world of Disney characters. For me that is what gave it the edge.

 

[Raindown]

Throwing it down like this:

1. RDCT
2. F!
3. WoC

All are great and I won't miss them on a trip to the land, but that's my order. I'll likely be there the night RDCT returns.

 

[sportbettor]

I'm pretty surprised WoC is third in this poll. Even though I voted F! I thought WoC would win.
