We saw Wishes for the first time this last trip and I must say that I was mightily impressed. HOWEVER, there is no comparrison to Illuminations : Reflections Of Earth which is the best firework show ever

Well... my favorite is Wishes. My GF and I have seen it from like 6 different views in MK, as well as several romantic views outside the MK... so... kinda stands out that way.

But I think Illuminations is the best...

Wishes, just because it kind of encapsulates the entire reason I'm there. Plus that little girl singing "Starlight, starbright," always chokes me up.

The reason I don't care for RoE so much is because to me it just seems like a raging ball of fire. With all the fire and smoke from the barge I have a hard time seeing the fireworks and the rest of the show.
Maybe I just had bad seats. Where is the best place to sit for Illuminations anyway?
The only thing I like about it is the torches and the pre show music. Sounds kinda Celtic.

Best spots are Showcase Plaza (right at the entrance from Future World between the two shops), between Mexico and Norway, and in front of Italy.

Needless to say, RoE is my favorite. Add in a tag (Independence Day, New Years, or Peace on Earth) and its jaw dropping. I've seen the show over 100 times, sometimes 5 to 6 days a week, and I still cannot get enough of it. I still remember the first time I saw a finale. It just kept going and going. When it ended I literally had my mouth open. New Years is even more amazing, as they shoot fireworks off of every country.

Another poster mentioned the perimeters around the lagoon. The best one is between Norway and Mexico. Its really close and scares the bajeezus out of everyone. :lol:

The smoke is only bad enough to block the fireworks if you sit in like Mexico or Norway. I almost always see it in japan and i never have any problems with smoke.

The best place is the pier in Italy but it is almost always reserved for something, but if it isnt, go for it.

Wishes! is my #1 pick, followed by Fantasmic!

RoE just doesn't do it for me. Besides that, I can never find a really decent place, and I refuse to spend two hours sitting in one to get it. I know many people have it as a favorite, but I'm usually walking out of the park with it in the background.

Thunder over Louisville!!! 30-45 minutes of huge pyro and the most powerful finale I have ever felt. Plus the army shoots howitzers before and during the show. Although this last year it seems they cheaped out a bit with the bridge fireworks.

For Disney it would have to be ROE. It is the best timed show to music that I have ever seen. That inferno barge is just plain cool.

RoE, no doubt at all for me. But actually, my very favorite is the Christmastime RoE, with the Let There Be Peace on Earth ending. That is so amazing.
Wishes is second, but a pretty distant second for me.

My favorite has to be RoE. The way the fireworks are synchronized (sorry for the Spelling) with the music and the fact that the music is the best. I can listen to it over and over in my ipod. But also RoE has the coolest beginning with all the lights going off, and the the one firework followed by the huge explosion. Pure Disney magic.

Fantasmic is a close second and Wishes third.
