    I went with Wishes. The Main reason it is in the MK and that is may favorite park and it is the Wishes is the end to a Magical Day. I like Fantasmic, but it would be Wishes for me

    Not a huge fan of Fantasmic! We haven't seen it in a while because we skipped it on our last trip. We are heading down this year with friends that haven't been in quite awhile so we'll certainly see it this year maybe it'll have a bigger impact.

    Wishes on the other hand is breathtaking. There is something SO magical about the fireworks going off all around the castle as you stand around in awe. We especially love Hallowishes!

    These are both amazing shows to end the day with, but to me Wishes has just a little edge over Fantasmic. I think it's the soundtrack that does it for me. It could also be that the last few times we've seen Wishes has been during MVMCP and it just adds the perfect amount of magic to an already magical season.

    We enjoy Fantasmic!, but there's just something extremely magical about fireworks in the MK! Wishes gives me goosebumps!

    I picked Wishes because it's much easier to fit into our schedule. Fantasmic is harder since it requires getting there early for a seat. We are making time for it next trip, though.

    I can go to WDW and not see Fantasmic. But, a trip to Disney just isn't a trip to Disney without Wishes.

    We love both shows, but Wishes brings tears to my eyes every time. It is so touching to watch.

    Love Fantasmic at DL but the WDW version doesn't stand up as well as a show. Things wouldn't seem right if we didn't see Wishes but WDW Fantasmic can be missed in a given year.

    With so much to do at MK, WIshes is a mere afterthought, while Fantasmic is probably the best thing going at MGM. Fantasmic is also the better show.

    I really enjoy them both. But I had to go with Wishes I always find it much more moving and I love crowding into the hub to watch it after a busy day at the MK. And I like Fantasmic at DL much more.

    FANTASMIC!!!! I see so many fireworks locally all summer. By the time I get there in September, I'm fireworked out. I like fantasmic because it's different......Oh, and I love villians.

    My family often skips Wishes. Sometimes, my brother and I will watch the show if we are in the Magic Kingdom for Extra Magic Hours or late touring.

    Wishes is the best fireworks show I have ever seen--considerably more impressive than Fantasy in the Sky--but it is a fireworks show nevertheless.

    Fantasmic! is a true nighttime spectacular unlike anything else in the world. The show's uniqueness sets it apart from even the most elaborate fireworks.
