Fantasmic. There is no competition it's the most amazing show at WDW
I voted fantasmic. However I am a weirdo with special love for philharmagic. I grew up a band kid and it just seems really magical to me.
My favorite live action show though would have to be either Indy or Festival of the Lion King. Both are very good, although Festival puts on quite the production, which is why I gave it my vote.
Beauty and the Beast! Literally, every time I go to Hollywood Studios we see it! I know it word for word
Why no Illuminations or Wishes? Kinda hard to vote when one is a fireworks show and you don't include the others. Also some are live action with live actors and some are projection. Apples and oranges? Like a poll solely on whether you prefer Ice Cream, Liverwurst, or Brussel Sprouts. You must choose only from a limited list.
I'm voting Fantasmic for all round music, effects and 'magicalness' etc. However it does have the advantage of being designed as a 'headliner' and you have to invest a good deal of time and planning to see it. Probably see Philharmagic as much or more but mainly because it's a spur of the moment show with no planning needed so comparisons are a tad unfair.
I've opened the poll to include one vote for daytime show one for firework ad suggestedI see 2 different categories of shows here. For the nighttime performances I would have to choose Illuminations. For the other live/theatrical performances I would have to choose Festival of the Lion King. It is too hard to choose when you put all of these into the same category.![]()
Nemo has got to be my favorite...But since that isn't listed, I went with Lion King. I think both are well produced and are a great part of the DAK experience.
I love the build up the atmosphere the crowd Mexican wave. Don't know why but the later show is always special
We often go to see it the last night of our trip. Have a meal at the Sci-fi first and then head over to Fantasmic. Take our seats early and then Mrs Merg goes and grabs me a drink or snack and snuggles up to me as we wait for the show to start.
