Does each park have fireworks (or something different) they do each night? The only one I know of is MK's "Happily Ever After" fireworks. Is there someplace I can see a list of every park's nighttime event? I tried the website, but it wasn't very clear for me.

Yes.
Hollywood Studios has Fantasmic and the Star Wars Galactic Spectacular, as well as Disney Movie Magic which is a projection show.
Epcot has Illuminations which is a fireworks show.
Animal Kingdom has Rivers of Light, no fireworks, but is a lights/float show on the water. As well as Tree of Life Awakenings, which is projections on to the Tree of Life.

Thank youuu! Do you have any preferences?
 
I recommend seeing all of them! They are all good in their own right. :)

That said, I know that may not be realistic. Fantasmic is my favorite and is a must do every trip.
 

Mine is:

Happily Ever After
Star Wars
Illuminations
Rivers of Light

All worth seeing. With ROL in #4 place, I still really like it.

I never bother with Fantasmic anymore. I am too spoiled by the DL version. :rolleyes1

Oh really? Is Fantasmic at DL better? Because I'll skip it if it is haha, I've seen it a few times now.

Illuminations is NOT a Fireworks show. It is way more. It is Fire, Water projection, lasers, music and fireworks. It is our favorite.

Most would say Fantasmic is quite a bit better at DL. WDW has the theater going for it which is nice and much more comfortable.

It's my favorite too. Maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention, which is a strong possibility, but I've seen Illuminations at least once a week, usually more, for years, and you've got me scratching my head about the water projections. I know there are water curtains/fountains that light up, but are you saying that there are projections on those?

No you are correct. I used incorrect terminology. I was thinking of the columns of water, not a visual projected on that water like in ROL. Thanks for pointing that out.,

You could have been right. I'm at all the night time shows so much that I no longer pay that much attention. I've been surprised more than once.
 
Sorry to hijack this thread, but does anyone know if it would be possible to see Fantasmic at 7pm and Star Wars Galactic Show at 8:15 on the same night? I seem to recall them leading us right to the exit after Fantasmic but this is our only HS day and it would be great if we could see both... TIA!

That should be possible.
 
I can't find Disney Movie Magic at Hollywood Studios? Is it no longer there? We'll be there the week before Easter and I can't find times for it anywhere?
 
I highly recommend making any and all Disney nighttime shows a priority. Try to see them all if you can. If you have to choose, definitely see Happily Ever After. If you are Star Wars fans, Galactic Spectacular is for you, and the dessert parties (for both of these, really) wouldn't be a bad idea.

Personally, I adore IllumiNations. Gives me "the feels". :)
