Let me preface this post by saying that I think all of the music for the shows is awesome. Some people collect pins, some collect napkins (remember that thread), others collect figures, etc. I collect Disney Music. I have over 30 hours of it. With that said....

I love Fantasmic. I have it as the ring tone on my cell phone.

If you would have asked me this question 3 months ago, my answer would have come quickly and I would have been sure about it: #1: Fantasmic, #2: Wishes, #3: RoE. I really hadn't liked Illuminations since they changed it. We used to see Illuminations every night and when we arrived in 2000 we were very disappointed to see that the old show was dead. It left a sour taste in my mouth.

Over the last few months, I've been listening to the RoE and its been growing on me more and more. I really want the first dance at my wedding to be to 'Promise', and the rest of the music is good too.

My list now is a lot tougher to come up with. I think I would rank them all equal because they all stand out to me for their different reasons. Fantasmic because the tune is so catchy and the spirit of the show is the heart of Disney. Wishes because it has the classic Disney tunes, and RoE for its originality.

Fantasmic by far in my opinion. But Spectro Magic did grow on me when I was there, even though I've never been a big fan of parades (except Electrical Parade).

It would have to be fantasmic for me, i have seen the show on a nightly basis sometimes more than once a night and i am still not sick of it (I worked there!). I did however like the holiday segement which was added to the end of illuminations for the holiday 2007! They made me cry. I'm not a big fan of wishes i prefered the fantasy in the sky music.
 
This is an amazingly tough question...i love them all! I love to be watching wishes and see my son..even at age 5 dozing off in the stroller trying to keep his eyes open to hear the finale. I always get misty!!We do love to listen to ROE even at home in the car...it always make the kids smile and I can see them deep in thought. They are all great!!! Going back in 6 days..gonna have really think about this while im there!!:sohappy:

ROE has without a doubt the best composition.

I sometimes get choked up when hearing Wishes because of how painful it is to my ears... It's terrible!!!

Although Illuminations has a great and complex composition, I will go with what is most moving for me... Wishes. It also pairs really well to the visual show.

Wow....this is a tough question as I love all the music from the shows so much! But, I'd have to go with Wishes - I always get goosebumps and teary-eyed when I hear it. Just seeing the castle with the fireworks around it and that beautiful music makes me feel like I'm in the most magical atmosphere...*sigh* These 52 days can't go by fast enough...lol

Now I have that song in my head....

Starlight starbright...first star I see tonight...I wish I may, I wish I might.. ;)
