I voted for Wishes, only because I've never seen it before...so it would definitly (sp?) be the one I see. After that, IllumiNationas and Fantasmic tie. I can't choose one

darn I hit the wrong button and chose None when I wanted Illuminations. Disregard the 1 vote for none.

Illuminations is awesome, but I voted for Fantasmic. Because after a long day, the kids get to sit down and watch.

My vote goes to Wishes. Those fireworks are spectacular, and you don't have to wait an hour in advance to see them like Fantasmic. I have a little trouble seeing parts of Illuminations. The fireworks above the castle are the best!
Drop another coin in slot and I will tell you more.

I agree that the wait for Fantasmic can be annoying to say the least, but you've got to admit that its worth it. And in Fantasmic you get to sit down throughout the show which is a real bonus at the end of an exhausting day!

If you purchase the Fantasmic dinner package you can arrive just before the show starts and still have somewhere to sit.

Illumination is such a perfect way to end a long day at EPCOT. It gets my vote!
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

Rain upon that planet Earth. And they rain ... and rain ... and rain. The deluge.

My vote definately goes to illuminations. We always try to stay in the EPCOT area resorts and try to see it almost every night :D

At WDW. I would have to go with Wishes due to the music, fireworks, and location. (How can you top the Castle and Main Street atmosphere) But I really think the show at DLR is even better. Tink is flying all over the place and it is just like watching the opening of "The Wonderful World of Disney" on TV.

Fantasmic is the only one of the bunch to tell a story rather than just shoot up a bunch of fireworks and water. As such, it makes people laugh and get teary eyed with a fraction of the glitz and glitter. amazing what a story can do, huh?

IllumiNations tells the story of our human race and however distant we are, we are one

It's very deep :)

I forgot about that. I actually do really like that aspect. Unfortunately, I think that the story gets lost on most people. Not quite upfront like Fantasmic I guess. =)
