Which night time show can't be missed?

[Anabelletoronto]

My daughter gets tired very easily and is definitely an early bird.
I know that she won't be able to stay up late and then get up early without being a terror.
So we figure we can do one night time show. So fantasmic?
She is a typical 5 year old princess loving-tiara-wearing girl.

I would agree with fantasmic. The fireworks at Epcot and MK could not hold my daughters attention when she was 5.

Hollywood studios is impressive. Make sure you get a spot center back a little bit.

Happily Ever After

Happily Ever After. We just took my then 4, now 5 year old daughter a couple of weeks ago. She loved seeing the castle change with the projections, LOVED seeing Tinkerbelle, and when the song from Moana came on...she squealed with delight. It was fantastic and the one show I would not miss.

If I could choose only one, I would do HEA.

Normally I'd say the one at MK but since they have changed it to the projection show it might be hard for her to see unless she is on someone's shoulders. Fantastic is a great show and every kid I've seen there just loved it.

With wishes gone, fantasmic for sure.

My go to is Fantasmic! It's got a great storyline and the music is wonderful. But, I also haven't seen Happily Ever After in person yet, so my vote may change in the next 2 weeks lol

Fantasmic was pretty scary for my kids at that age. I would recommend Happily Ever after.

My must-see used to be Fantasmic! but after seeing Happily Ever After last week...I've gotta say that HEA is the MUST SEE (with Fantasmic! a close second).

just came back. If you can only pick one, Fantasmic for sure. It never disappoints, no matter how many times I see it. Then, Happily Ever After, but only if you can stake out a good spot early (or pay for a dessert party viewing which we did).
I will add that we were VERY disappointed in Rivers of Light. We left halfway through. It was SO boring. Unless it gets really good at the end (i will have to watch on Youtube and see what I missed), it was the lamest show ever.

Happily Ever After. My kids saw it for the first time along with me this last trip and absolutely loved it. If you can get a good spot, perhaps her sitting on garbage can like my son did, you'll have a great view. The projections are just amazing. And she'll see her favorite princesses. Our next trip I think we will be seeing it more than once.

I'm very surprised to see those saying to see Fantasmic over Happily Ever After. That doesn't happen often.

Must see night time show would be Happily Ever After, followed by Star Wars and then Fantasmic.

Fantasmic is a good show but imo, Happily Ever After is easily the top dog and is not to be missed
