Illuminations by far. I prefer DL's Fantasmic!, so I never see the one at DHS anymore. Wishes doesn't do much for me either.

Illuminations, but that might be just because I have never seen Fantasmic. It's been rained out the last two years I have tried to go see it. Third times a charm in a month, I hope...

I have to see all three more than once on each of my trips. Fantastic is brilliant for the story telling, wishes for turning me into a child and illuminations tops the chart for reasons I'm no sure (probably the scale of it)

Illuminations, hands down. Its message transcends characters and Walt Disney. It combines a bigger idea of "we are together in this world"-- brilliantly incorporating fireworks, flames, fountains, and the countries of the World Showcase. The music is fabulous, and it all combines with the story from the globe to create an uplifting whole that renews the human spirit of every background and faith. It also has the biggest booms.

Can't forget the music, especially the tune heard at 8:36 - 9:29 which pretty much serves as Epcot's unofficial theme song which can be heard in many advertisements for the park. I always thought that tune was Epcot's themed song until I seen the show.

It was even heard for Epcot's 30th Anniversary opening movie.

I've seen them all & Illuminations is my favorite. Have the CD from the show with the great music. It's a beautiful show & we love going to Epcot to view it , it's much less crowded than the others.
