Two Nights in the Parks - Which Spectaculars To See?

[bryanb]

Alas, on my next trip in June I will only have 2 nights to spend at WDW parks, since I have other non-park plans the rest of the time, and I'm having a difficult time deciding which I should spend my evenings at. I'll be solo during the evenings, so I'm not beholden to anyone else in my group.

MK - I've seen Wishes and Celebrate the Magic several times already. They're very impressive and I wouldn't mind seeing them again.

Epcot - During the Food & Wine Festival, I feel like we ended up at Epcot every night last year so I saw Illuminations three nights in a row. I don't mind seeing it again but it's not a must-repeat. That said, I really enjoy World Showcase in the evenings -- even without Illuminations.

AK - I've never seen AK in the dark. In fact, I even half-wondered if they needed light bulbs throughout the park's outdoor areas for anyone other than the maintenance CMs. I took at peek at the Jungle Book show on YouTube (not fair, I know), and it probably doesn't interest me... but I love the theming of the park and hope to see what it looks like at night.

DHS - Is the Symphony in the Stars fireworks show here better than any of the other options? During any trip, I probably spend the least time at DHS just out of personal preference for the other parks. I'd probably catch Fantasmic! as well, but this is not important to me because I used to work at Fantasmic in Disneyland, and have experienced it probably more than 950 times.

Thanks for your help!

I'd probably go Wishes & SW. Maybe Wishes & AK for the novelty of it. But I love Wishes more than is healthy & we're not big fans of Illuminations, so take it with a grain of salt.

Wishes and SW.

Symphony in the Stars is just fantastic. My favorite fireworks experience in the parks! We justmissed the night time AK shows, so if it were me, I would do AK and DHS.

Based on what you said I would do Wishes and DHS (Star Wars). I think Illuminations is better than the current Star Wars fireworks, but since you said you saw it a lot recently (Illuminations) I would go for something different.

Star Wars for sure, it's one of their best fireworks. The other I would picked based on where I want to be park wise.

Thanks everyone! I think I will check out the Star Wars fireworks then, and maybe Wishes for the other night.
