I'm thinking about doing two Nighttime Spectaculars on Easter evening (4/16) because my flight leaves late on Monday (4/17 at 10:30 PM), but not late enough where I could make it to airport in time. Fantasmic is at 8:30 PM, Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular and Illuminations are at 9 PM, Rivers of Light is at 9:45 PM, Wishes is at 10 PM. With Express Transportation (don't have a car) and a FastPass Plus, would it be possible to see two night time spectaculars in a night? If so, Which two would be the most feasible time wise? I don't have a car, so I'm limited to Disney Transportation. The closest together one is impossible to do because Fantasmic/SWAGS and Illuminations are at the same time.

I have done Star Wars and Illuminations but it was 7:45PM and 9:00PM. We also had express transportation which was fantastic. I would say you could pull off Star Wars, or Illuminations then Wishes. Rivers of light and Wishes are too close obviously..
 
It's important for you to know that the express transportation ends right when the park closes. Fantasmic is a 25 minute show, and it would probably take you more than 5 minutes to walk from there to the express transportation to reach the very last bus. With Fantasmic starting at 8:30 that night and DHS closing at 9 p.m, I don't think you would make an express transportation. Star Wars is at 9 p.m. which means that show closes the park. With the crowds of people leaving Fantasmic, you won't have a good view of the Star Wars Fireworks and projections. Just don't try making it to AK after one of those shows. If you were to even succeed, with the show being new, I don't know how crowded the theater would be. Illuminations is at 9 p.m. and EPCOT closes at 9 p.m. which means express won't be available then. The only way I can possibly see you doing two shows that night is taking the monorail from EPCOT after Illuminations to TTC and walking over to the Poly and watching Wishes from there. I have tried to make it from EPCOT to MK in time for Wishes, and I have not succeeded. Another option is Fantasmic and Wishes. You just won't have express transportation at your disposal. Good luck!
