What your favorite fireworks show?

tamarahj · 07-13-2004

Just wondering if you all would share your favorite fireworks show! I hope to catch them all, but just in case...

DarthTortoise · 07-13-2004

Illuminations. Their is a lot of room to walk around, many places to watch from, cold beer close by, etc. They are all good, but Illuminations is tops for me.

Metalfan · 07-13-2004

I gotta go with Illuminations as well. Just something about seeing it over the lagoon. Wishes is really cool with the castle, but I guess I just like Illuminations a bit more.

Fantasmic. I love this show.

Tinkerbelle · 07-13-2004

We enjoyed them all on our first WDW vacation (in April), but nothing beats "Wishes"!

QuakerOaties · 07-13-2004

Illuminations, but I'm biased because I got to see it on my friends private little patio on the water! It was an Illuminations Desert Party and it was absolutely incredible. Disney Weddings rock!

"illuminations" so far!! i haven't seen "wishes" in person yet. it is just phenomenal; the creativity, the special effects, the laser lights and the fireworks of course. let's not forget the music!! excellent fireworks show disney has to offer.

Illuminations because i remember always going to see it when i was a kid and it was one of my favorite things. It is spectacular! You can see it from CBR which is where we always stay so thats a plus too.

Favorite nite time show is Fantasmic ..but for fireworks .. Wishes is OTT!!!!

karliebug · 07-13-2004

Fantasmic, because it is so much more than just fireworks.

inluvwithdisney · 07-13-2004

I love Illuminations!!! We are seeing it on a cruise this time!! Cannot wait!!!

BUT we have not seem Fantasmic in all of our trips to DL and WDW!!! So it is hard to know for sure!!! And wishes started after we were there last year!!!

burt carvalho · 07-13-2004

Our favorite fireworks show has to be Illuminations. We don't feel like were actually in Disney World until we see this show. We usually go 2 or 3 times each trip. After the show it's nice to just walk around and enjoy the different view of World Showcase at night.

trilliumB · 07-13-2004

Illuminations at Epcot! It's so moving, I always get choked up. There are giant real flame torches (you can feel the heat coming off of them) that they light all around the huge Epcot lagoon at the start, and they light all the World Showcase pavilions just amazingly at a certain point...There are pyrotechnics on the water, and a giant animated globe...And the fireworks are just OUT of this world!

pbharris4 · 07-13-2004

I think Illuminations is awesome, but I'd have to say the ones over the castle in MK because with the music and watching all the little kids with all that magic in their eyes and they are so impressed..for me that takes the cake!!

dznygrl · 07-13-2004

I suppose it's demeaning to classify Fantasmic as merely a fireworks show, but it really is my absolute favorite! I have the Disneyland version now completely memorized from note to note, and I intend to be Mickey Mouse in that show one day very soon!!!

BTW, my *least* favorite would have to be the fireworks they are running at DLR right now. The music is choppy and doesn't flow, and it sounds like someone pieced it together at the last second. Honestly, it feels a little cheap! It's also a semi-knock-off of some previous "Share A Dream Come True" fireworks at WDW. Why couldn't they try to be a little more original?
