Special Evening Shows

[Frozen2014]

HI,

I'm doing some planning and have heard there are great night time shows such as electrical parade, fireworks, etc.

Are the following shows on every night?

1. Electrical Parade at MK
2. Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios
3. Illuminations at Epcot

And can you rate them in order of 'must see' to 'if can see'? I don't think we'd see them all but just trying to plan.

Thanks.

Fantasmic and Illuminations are every night, as is Wishes, which you didn't mention. MSEP runs most nights but not all.

As for must-see, everyone's different. I personally prefer in order Wishes, MSEP, Fantasmic, them Illuminations.

Fantasmic is sometimes cancelled due to weather.

I was speaking in terms of scheduling, but you are correct.

What are Wishes and MSEP? And where are they held?

Is the electrical night parade at MK running every night? That one looks really neat.

Wishes is the end of night Fireworks Show at the MK.

MSEP is the Main Street Electrical Parade and is run almost every night at the MK. Not sure of the schedule but I have been in the MK twice in February when it didn't run the night we were there.

Ah ok, so MSEP is the electrical parade. SO many acronyms

So looks like we can either plan on Illuminations, Fanstasmic or Wishes at Magic Kingdom. If we do MK on our last night, then that would be a nice way to end the trip (not that we'll want it to end)

1. Why do you have to pick only one or am I misreading your post?

Illuminations is at Epcot, Fantasmic at DHS and Wishes at MK. They are each the respective end of day show for that park. AK is the only park, maybe just for now, that doesn't have an end of day show of some sort. Note they are not all "Fireworks Shows".

2. Yes

Didn't mean that we'd pick just one firework show. Just meant, that we'd see at least one of those + electrical parade...but may see all.

do they have dining specials available for wishes, illuminations and Fantasmic?

There are the Wishes Dessert Party and the Fantasmic Dining Package. Nothing like that for Illuminations that I am aware of.
