Now I have only seen three of these in person. So I'll have to go with Fantasmic at Disneyland. I love it! I haven't seen it in like forever! I also heard Illuminations is awesome. Why isn't that one up there?
I do stuff sometimes.

Disneylands Fantasmic! Its got such a great soundtrack (which does differ slightly from WDW's version) with great scenes. The pirate ship scene is one of my favorites along with the dancing monkeys. That scene is really catchy! :mrgreen:

it's up there, but it's listed as just "Reflections of Earth".

I love wishes. Even when I listen the the music at home I get chills just thinking about the show and tink coming down from the castle. ROE at epcot is still an outstanding show. I have arranged the ROE music for a marching band in our area.

Hi again. I felt I had to update my vote and sort of reshuffle my choices. A little while ago I managed to catch a glimpse of EVERY nighttime parade at all the Disney parks around the world, (God bless Youtube!). Anyway, from what I've seen I would have to say that TDL's Dreamlights would have to replace SpectroMagic as the next-generation MSEP in every sense of the words. Well, if you get the chance check out the video, you may change your votes too. Later, peace.

I am still stunned by how excellent Disneyland's fireworks are. The show lasted the entire walk from the end of the Electrical Light Parade at DCA to our hotel - the Howard Johnsons! What a spectacle!

i voted for wishes. it's just so sentimental and pretty.

my second would probably be spectromagic, also for sentimental reasons. i love the music from spectromagic, too. i do admit that the electrical parade is more impressive than spectromagic, in my opinion, though.

Reflections of Earth with Wishes in a close second. I am a sucker for soundtracks (who would have guessed, I listen on this site :lol:...), and both are wonderful.

Remember...Dreams Come True is the first time fireworks made me literally gasp - when the "stretching room" effect shoots off for the first time, and you're standing in the hub - awesome. I also love the giant balls of flames for Indy and the volley of "cannonballs" between Frontierland and the Castle during the "Pirates" portion.

Though the DL Fantasmic is a close second - flames and dragons - how can you go wrong?
