Another nighttime question: Spectromagic or Illuminations?

I'll try to post #92 on Sunday...in Accommodations.

I like Spectromagic a lot, but I can not miss Illuminations whenever I go to Disney. There is just so much excitement around world showcase during Illuminations it takes your breath away:fworks:

Like IllumiNations but haven't watched it for the last two years. Its more the rush out of Epcot immediately after that takes away from it for us. Too bad they can't have a delay like spectromagic.

I voted for SpectroMagic. I've seen Illuminations so many times but only Spectro once. I think i'm Illuminations burned out.

I voted for Illuminations. It is really an impressive display. I like Spectro Magic, but if I had to choose between the two,I'd go with Illuminations.

I voted for Illuminations though I think I am going to skip this on our next trip. I think I am a little frustrated with our inability to find a good spot to view this. Spectromagic I have never seen but seems easier to find a spot to see it.

Spectromagic.

As soon as I hear those trumpets at the very beginning, and freak out over those crazy...things, I get chill bumps and smile the whole time.

Absolutely love that parade. My favorite thing at Disney.

I really had to think about this one...what a tough choice! I chose Spectromagic b/c I grew up going to parades with my grandfather, who has now passed. I have very early childhood memories of getting up in the wee hours of the morning to travel to parade locations and select "just the right spot" for viewing-and then waiting for hours for the parade. When I pick my curb for Spectro, it brings back all those great memories! I should say that I never miss either event when we go! --Great polling question!!

I have yet to make it to Illuminations as bad as I have wanted to. I think that thought I've heard nothing but great things about the show, the discouragement over getting a decent place to view it has turned me away. Maybe next time. There will be 4 adults then and we can take turns guarding a space for a couple hours or so.

I love the enormity of Illuminations. The time it takes for them to prepare, the countries all around the "world" lighting up, the fireworks and lazers, the music, and one of my favorites, the torches that line the lake. All of these put together make for one spectacular, not to miss, show.

Tough call, but I went with Illuminations! Now if the Main Street Electrical Parade were still showing, I would have chosen it! :mickey:

I love Spectromagic. It was the first parade that I got to share with my little boy who's eyes just lit up. An unforgettable moment.

Illuminations by far. We do love Spectro as a parade, but Illuminations is only one Mouse whisker shy of being our favorite nighttime activity, Wishes still holds that top spot for us. One nice thing about Illuminations, is that there are many different views that give you a new perspective, and we plan to continue to try out new ones each trip.:)

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth without a doubt. SpectroMagic is impressive but still a parade.

Although I haven't seen it yet, I voted for Illuminations. Fireworks beat out parades, in my book. :mickey:

Illuminations is my favorite nighttime show at the World. On our last trip we bought the soundtrack. It brings back memories everytime we listen to it.

Spectromagic.....although I like Illluminations, the music and childlike innocence of Spectro brings tears to my eyes. As soon as the music begins I get chills and my eyes well up! :mickey:

I voted for SpectroMagic. It's such an awesome light parade. I was a little surprised to see it only got 1/3 of the vote so far.

I voted or Illuminations. It's so amazing! I love the fire and fountains and lights, all to an awsome soundtrack.:thumbsup:

Easy, Easy answer. I love illuminations :number1: so much I stood and watch during Tropical Storm Ernesto when it blew through Orlando in 2006. There was so much wind and rain that the torch that emerges from the split open globe would not ignite.

There is just something about Spectromagic that is so magical. Even the song brings tears to my eyes. It is a must do on every trip!

IllumiNations is hands down our favorite night time event!It's so amazing, all the countries lighting up at different times, keeping in time with the music. The globe, I think is one of the single most creative things ever imagineered!Watching IllumiNations is truly an event!
:waycool::fworks:
Spectro is really cool & impressive, and a real delight to watch.:cool:
