I believe that there enough nighttime events. Becuase I would probably only see two during my stay anyway. Don't forget about the Main Street Electrical Parade at the Magic Kingdom. That is always a joy to watch. And I'm pretty sure that the MSEP is ever single night. Is it not? But I'm positive that Illuminations and Fantasmic! are running every night, unless there is difficulties. I don't have the patience to go to Fantasmic! twice during my stays either. If you've never really seen Illuminations, you must see it during your next trip. Illuminations is really a great show and is awe-inspiring.

Yeah, I really recommend Illuminations. It's different from Wishes and Believe, but it's a different kind of good. The pyrotechnics are really...wow. That's my 1 1/2 cents about Illuminations.

I chose the parade
Love Tomorrowland and Adventureland, but hard to decide to which one is best.

Love RCT3

That's a good thing about all the different shows and parades at the different park, they're all good, in their own unique way.

This is a tough question. I love Spectro & wishes. I especially love to see one right after the other. They bring out the true Disney spirit!

In WDW it would have to be Illuminations, on this list. Of course tops for me are:
1. Disneyland Fantasmic
2. Disneyland Remember fireworks
3. WDW MNSSHP (yes it is a night time "event")
edit: 3 1/2. WDW Osbourn Family Light Spectacle.
4. WDW Hallowishes (I guess it should be part of 3)
5. WDW MVMCP
6. WDW Illuminations
7. WDW Fantasmic
8. WDW Wishes
9. WDW Main Street Electrical Parade

haven't seen the others in a really long time so I can't vote on them.

The EWP doesn't stand a chance against the new shows :cry: . I hope they never get rid of it though. It's just so classic.

after the trip we took last December, my vote goes to the Holiday version of illuminations, as well as the Holiday Wishes.

I know, I'm so attached to it, it's a Disney classic! It holds alot of sentimental value for me and my family.

Hands down, Fantasmic! I just love the drama and synergy (story with fireworks, lasers, etc.) of the show.

Illuminations is my favorite! It's just so powerful and a great cap to a wonderful day at Disney.

Wishes is "magical" to me. All of the hope and dreams, isn't that what Disney is all about? :mickey: I watch it every night when I'm there - and I listen to the soundtrack at work whenever I'm having a bad day!
