    Default Wishes or Illuminations???

    Hi I'm not sure if we will be able to see both while we are in WDW. If we were only able to see one which one would you recommend?? My boys are 7 and 5 so we were leaning toward Wishes but it's not until 10:00pm on the night we could go-- What do you think? Thanks

    I have girls, so I don't know if their opinion is similar to your boys, but they MUCH prefer Wishes. They love Tinkerbell flying down from the castle and I think the show and music is more appealing to kids. Not that Illuminations isn't appealing - my girls loved it too - they just preferred Wishes. Not sure if that helps, but those are my thoughts!

    I would so do Wishes over Illuminations. Wishes has all the songs and fireworks going and the castle changing colors. Illuminations just has the countries lighting up with a globe in the water. Illuminations is still a great show but it would be boring compared to Wishes for your boys.

    Wow!! It sounds like Wishes wins hands down!! We were leaning that way but we weren't sure because of it being at 10:00pm. My boys are very early risers and I'm not sure they can last that long. I guess I will just have to talk them into a nap that day--yeah right.

    Illuminations takes my breath away, but Wishes makes me cry. I think my kids prefer (8 & 10) prefer Wishes.

    Wishes! Although we usually see both, my kids prefer Wishes over Illuminations. As for getting them to stay up, my dd6 is a early riser and it has been difficult for her to stay up. A nap - not going to happen. I try to take the kids out of the park in the afternoon and just go back to the resort and have some quiet time. Then when we go back in the park, we get some sugar snacks - cotton candy. Once Wishes starts my kids are wide awake and really enjoy the show. Enjoy
