Best place to see Illuminations

I personally like the music more than the show. I tried to zoom in and record the globe, as I was very able to see the images either. the earth globe is a good idea, but it needs to be 10 times bigger so people can actually see what's playing...

While the fireworks were decent, and I loved the effect of all the lands shooting fireworks into the center, I felt underwhelmed. The part I liked least was the 5 minute crawl waiting for the video globe to move from America to the center. I felt it took too long. I couldn't understand what most of the images were displaying on the globe and felt the effect was over used. I think I'm jaded after seeing Wishes at Disneyland. That's the best fireworks show I've ever seen.

Even after Wishes at Disneyland I'm more moved by Illuminations than anything else.

Wishes at Disneyland?

Well I get ya on the underwhelming part of Illuminations. I remember mentioning the lack of fireworks to a co-worker and she replied that Illuminations is meant to be a laser show with special effects and some pyrotechnics. So maybe if you think about it that way...

And yeah, the images on the globe are hard to make out. I think I could make out grass and some animals running. Otherwise I'm just staring at bright lights.

I think the next time you see Illuminations, you'll enjoy it more.

If you've never seen Wishes at DL, go to Youtube right now. It's awesome.

The Wishes! shows both work for their parks, but as a park fanatis the Disneyland version works better for me. Not that I don't love Wishes at the Kingdom.
