My all time fav is Festival of the Lion King. Close second is Beauty & the Beast at MGM.

Love those two!

For a four year old:

All the parades, especially Share a Dream Come True and Mickey's Jammin Jungle Parade (which should be the holiday version for your December trip)

Spectromagic.

Wishes.

Fantasmic.

All three of the big shows, Festival of the Lion King, Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.

I know its way more than three but they are all too good to miss! And I would suggest Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (you need a separate ticket for this event). Also, check out the wonderful holiday decorations, the monorail resorts in particular have incredible gingerbread houses. That is a great way to take a break from MK, ride around on the monorail, check them out, maybe have lunch at Chef Mickey's. And at Epcot they have Santas from each of the countries. Its a great time to go, especially with a child of that age. You have double magic: Christmas and Disney!

Laurafaith,
Welcome to the Dis!
The Official WDW web sites lists all shows and parades with their times once park hours are released. I believe they are now releasing hours 6 months in advance. It does matter what time of year you are going, because some parades and shows are not running every day in the slow seasons.
Illuminations at Epcot is run every night at close - usually 9 PM
Fantasmic at MGM is generally run every night at close the time varies. In busy seasons there may be 2 Fantasmics scheduled.
Wishes and Spectomagic at the MK run seasonally. In slow seasons, they may only be once or twice a week, not every night.
If you go the the official WDW web site and click on calendar. Choose a month and a park and a monthy scedule will display, Click on a specific day and you will see the times of all the parades and shows for that day.
Hope this helps.

1. La Nouba - Not in the park, and definitely not free, but an absolute must-see.

2. Festival of the Lion King - I was surprised that I liked this one, and it's one of the best shows there!

3. Wishes.

Fantasmic is our fave, but I am not sure about a 4 yr old, it can be lud and dark at times.
Festival of Lion King.
Mickeys Philharmagic, the best 3-D movie we've experienced.

For a four year old I would say

Parades
Festival of the Lion King
Little Mermaid
Disney Playhouse Live

My top 3 choices would be

Fantasmic
Beauty and The Beast
FOTLK

 

[Butterfly73]

Cirque du Soleil takes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd with me! I loved it!!! Unfortunately they are in their blackout period when I am there this May.

 

[paigevz]

Fantasmic, Festival of the Lion King..................

We haven't seen Beauty and the Beast yet, so don't know if it would be top 3 when we do see.

Hmmmm...........last one.............Either, It's Tough to be a Bug or Little Mermaid.

Festival of the Lion King is our favorite!

 

[goofy's friends]

1. FOLK
2. Wishes
3. Philharmagic

We aren't big fans of the Fantasmic show at all. Spectromagic and the Jammin Jungle parade at Animal Kingdom are the best parades.

3. Festival Of The Lion King

My family and I are not big fans of Fantasmic. It just doesn't "move" us emotionally like Illuminations.

We agree. And my DS, then 6 years old, was quite scared at Fantasmic. We didn't go back last year.

We loved the Lion King and Wishes.
