shows not to miss

[kiers74]

Hi all :wave:

We are off to Orlando for the first time in nov,now christmas is over its time for some serious planning.

We normally just wake up and see where the day takes us, but from what i gather thats a Bad idea for Disneyland....?

We definatley want to see fantasmic,osbourn lights,wishes and probably spectro magic.

So Is there any other Shows/parades that you think we should see.

There will be my daughter(9) son(6) the misses and myself.

My daughter is more of a tom boy and would not appreciate anything to "girly" (or pink).

Thanks in advance
:wavey: :thumbs-up :D :pgig:

Illuminations is a must and we also love Nemo.Another tip is to start planning the ADR's

Lion King - top class show, could watch this time and again. Wasn't impressed by Nemo. Technically it's very good but I just didn't like it.

Lion King and Beauty and the Beast are musts also the Little Mermaid at MGM

[margy]

philarmagic is the best show i have ever seen its spectacular in every way

[Elsie]

Whoops ... I forgot Little Mermaid (simply because of the smile on my daughters face when it starts) and Mickey's Philgarmagic. Both cracking shows.

[Jaybeez]

Philarmagic at MK and Lion King at AK. I love the Lion King and always try to watch it twice if I can.

As far as plannning goes we dont really have a day to day plan either, I think it is more about being armed with info as to shows parades and restaurants etc.
We will usually decide the next day's events the evening before (except of course for special ADRs and special events like Discovery Cove)As for shows I'd certainly suggest Lion King, Fantasmic. Not to keen on Nemo myself either but DH liked it.

Lion King for me and Illuminations @ Epcot

[TimP]

Lion King is an absolute must it is brilliant, also Philarmagic loved this. Illuminations. I would try to see as many as you can, the kids will have those fantastic memories forever. Happy planning!!

Lion King in MK
Beauty & the Beast MGM

Not really a show as such, but our "can't miss" are the Taiko drummers in Epcot. I staked out our place good and early, and DD was like "why are we waiting here?" and she watched the whole thing with her mouth open and pronounced it "awesome" at the end (I think that is pre-teen speak for "that was really rather good, mother" LOL).

[Funkymum]

The Lion King show at AK & Beauty & the Beast at the Studios are fantastic :d: a must see for us every time :thumbs-up

Hi,

Like everyone, we love the Lion King and although its not a show my children really enjoyed the afternoon parade at Animal Kingdom.

Also Fantasmic !! but go early for good seats :wavey:

[cmpjdp]

Another vote for lion King... ;)

[shirley]

when we are at AK we went to the lion king show purely to get a seat for a while, but the show was amazing and was one of the best i have seen just great. so make a point of getting to see this one. shirley

Lion King is incredible. In fact, have enjoyed all the shows apart from Nemo which I found way to looooong!

I would recommend lion king, fantasmic, wishes fireworks, philharmagic, shrek 4D, little mermaid. At seaworld try all the shows, IMO there wasnt a bad one.

As its your first visit I would try and do most things you as may not visit again.
