Rivers of Light or Wishes?

[*Pixiedust1438*]

We have 3 nights/4 days in Disney. Definetly want to do Fantasmic & Illuminations. With Rivers of Light now running for our trip we want to see that but hearing Wishes is going to be no more this will be our last chance to see it. Our plans coordinate better with Rivers of Light but debating if I should try & move things around to see Wishes one last time (I've seen it dozens of times but love it). What would you do?

Since wishes is leaving i would see that one last time.

Personally I would watch River of Lights over Illuminations

I would also abandon Illuminations and see both Wishes (and Once Upon A Time-projections on castle) and Rivers of Light.
And make sure you plan for the Star Wars Fireworks after Fantasmic.

Yea that would be my choice too but Epcot is the only park my dad is joining us in & DH loves Illuminations & we are planning on eating & drinking around world showcase while the kids hopefully sleep in the stroller (the only adult activity we have planned all trip). DD will love Fantasmic so don't want to skip that. Such a tough choice, trying to convice DH to stay late our last night in Disney so we can do both but we have a 3 hour drive to Fort Myers for second half of our trip so he's not going for it.

Hey that's down here by me!

If you can possibly stay late on your last day, then look into moving things around so you see Rivers of Light that night. Depending on when you go, lately the first (sometimes only) showing of RoL is at 7:15pm. You guys could catch that then head out for your drive down to Ft Myers by like 7:40. Putting you down here a little after 10pm.

If that's a possibility it would be better leaving before 8pm rather than waiting later to see Wishes, Illuminations, or Fantasmic and leaving a park around 9 or 10pm. And it lets you stay in the park a little later instead of being stuck in that I4 traffic

I would try to wash Wishes one last time for sure just because it is such a classic

Thank you. That's so upsetting. I would definitely recommend seeing Wishes one last time then
