Vote: Wishes, Illuminations or Fantasmic...Which is best!!!

[Lisa0503]

So which is your favorite show? I have read lots of posts about all three shows but never a poll so please vote!!!! I need to see at a glance which ONE show should not be missed?

Its like asking a mom which of her children she "likes best".

(There even, at times, MIGHT be an ANSWER to that... but I bet it changes frequently!)

Thank goodness we don't have to CHOOSE at WDW.

(And so I don't feel the NEED to vote in your poll.)

We can see ALL of them during our trips (and DO).

Another way I say this is:

Fantasmic! is the best nighttime fireworks/spectacular now showing at MGM.

Wishes is the best nighttime fireworks/spectacular now showing at MK.

IllumiNations is the best nighttime fireworks/spectacular now showing at Epcot.

We love Illuminations, but when the barge was taken out of commission, it seemed different to us. Anyone else miss the barge? Have they put it back in this year?

I have to say it is a toss up between Illuminations and Fantasmic.

 

[Kick Save]

If I have to pick one, it's Illuminations. Sometimes we see it two or three times when we're there.

I love all the shows! But Wishes always brings a tear to my eye so it gets number one from me!

The Inferno Barge was put back into the show (and its BETTER) on or about Feb. 1, 2006.

It was "taken out of commission" by a major damaging explosion.
It did not happen during a SHOW and no one was seriously (if at ALL) injured by the mishap.
But we "love the fire" and its back... BLAZING HOT and BRIGHT!

I agree they are all WONDERFUL but WISHES def. brings a tear to my eye! I just LOVE it!!!!

 

[donnyreturns]

Fantasmic shortly over wishes

 

[smilie]

I chose Wishes. Last time we visited we missed Wishes & Illuminations. I was really sad that we missed Wishes. I've seen them both many times, but I cannot do without Wishes.

 

[elastigirl]

If I could only see one, I would pick Illuminations. But I can't say which is *best*, they are all their own type of Disney magic.

 

[Mousema]

I, also, would choose Illuminations if I had only one I could see.

I voted Wishes. I have seen all 3, and Wishes seems the most pure. It's fireworks set to music. Beautiful.

With Illuminations I was trying to stare at the globe, which was so far away that I couldn't see it that clearly.

Fantasmic had a lot going on, but after the first few minutes, the whole "projecting images on mist" thing got old.

I may be a bit biased since DS is visually impaired and didn't get alot out of Fantasmic and Illuminations since he couldn't see it.

I will be seeing Wishes again. The other 2? Probably not.

 

[grumpymakesmehappy]

Wishes!!!! I tear up everytime. Fantasmic is a close 2nd followed by Illuminations 3rd. DH enjoys Illuminations a whole lot more than I do.

 

[Annam26]

IMO, Fantasmic was the most SPECTACULAR one. Just amanzing!

 

[BlindTyldak]

Illuminations hands down. I never got to see Wishes, but saw the other shows in years prior . . . it's gorgeous, but there's just way too narrow an implied corridor of "STAND HERE if you want to see what it should look like". if you're standing there it's like sardines, and I don't like that. Fantasmic . . . meh, the best part is the soundtrack, and i have a CD player.

 

[teamagic]

It is so hard to pick just one. We have seen all three several times and like each one for a different reason. However, if I had to pick just one to go see, I would pick Wishes. We all love the fireworks and the music is great.

 

[Hugpug]

Wishes by all means with Fantasmic a close second. Illumination does not do anything for me.

 

[Minniespal]

My favourite show is Fantasmic.

 

[Doc CW]

Illuminations is the greatest WDW fireworks in history of all fireworks. the way it goes with the music and the globe. We saw a Illuminations in xmas and it literally shook the ground (from my view). Illuminations cant be missed.

 

[lorli]

We absolutely love Wishes with Fantasmic a very very close second. We don't really get the Illuminations craze.
