I like Wishes and all that but mine would have to be Illuminations. I like the music to Fantasmic but never get in to see the performances either I am too late to get in or forget about it.

I'd have to say that my favorite would be Wishes. I enjoy Illuminations, but I like Wishes more.

I am voting for Wishes as well. Something about fireworks at the Magic Kingdom that makes it more special. It feels like there is too much "down time" in Illuminations where nothing is going on. I want to film Wishes from the TTC. Anyone watch it from there? What did you think?

It's one of the best shots and you can see the castle being lit up just right

I'd have to say "Wishes" as well...but I love ALL the Fireworks shows. I agree with you, Mikey, about the gaps in Illuminations. And from a technical point of view (having been in the pyro biz for over 20 years)..the devices fired in Illum. aren't as large as the ones fired in "Wishes" (at on point in "Wishes" they fire a 12" shell, that's the size of a basketball and weighs around 30lbs. Illum can't fire large items due to the closeness of the guests.) And yes...all WDW fireworks are fired by computer using timecode via the audio track for the shows. I've used the same system many times and it never ceases to amaze me, just turn it on and let it do it's thing...handsoff. Here are a few pics of the show I was in charge of at Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta, Ga. And this is the firing computer.
