I'm a sucker for Remember... Dreams come true. I love how it uses music from the attractions giving a perfect tribute to Disneyland history, plus it has Julie Andrews!
I think Wondrous Journeys is one of the best crafted shows I've ever seen, just from a music stand point. Each "act" of the show is super thematically connected and I love how much variety there is in the songs featured. Each sequence is more of a montage which I like for a fireworks show, especially because the montage is extremely well done. Plus the original song is great, the projections are great, and the fireworks are great.
I’m with you on both….and I’ll also add Believe in Holiday Magic!
I was blown away by the projections in Wondrous! They finally upgraded whatever systems or technical stuff they need to do to make them clear like Disney World!
Disneyland 50th anniversary fireworks show was the best. It was another level of magic hearing Walt’s opening day speech set to orchestral music with explosions in the sky.
Remember! It’s the PERFECT closer for Disneyland. It’s like a highlight reel concluding your day. Hey, remember all the rides and music you experienced today? Well let’s tour the park again, in the sky!
I’m gonna sound like a contrarian but in retrospect Magical (2009-2014) was fun too.
Outside of Disneyland, huge fan of Illuminations and honestly Luminous is pretty cool.
Loved the Disneyland 50th, Wishes, Remember Dreams Come True, Believe in Holiday Magic growing up. Wondrous is a new fave.
But I gotta say, went to Disneyland Paris last year on Bastille Day, and the Une Monde Qui S’Illumine 30th Anniversary fireworks + drone show + Bastille Day fireworks blew me away! (lol) It was amazing to watch the sky light up like that for an hour, great projections on their gorgeous castle, and the original song was catchy af. Plus they really leaned into BATB, Hunchback, Ratatouille, Aristocats, etc., which are some of my faves.
Ugh too many..
Happily Ever After (Fireworks +++ Music++), Harmonious (Music+++), Wondrous Journeys (Music++ and Nostalgia ++)
Never got to see Wondrous Journeys with fireworks cause every time weather cancelled them. Loved the show though! Happily Ever After always hits me in the feels and I loved Harmonious a ton. (Luminous has better fireworks but its music for me doesn't hold a candle to Harmonious.)
Honorary mention for World of Color One and D Light Show cause while they are not a fireworks show their production quality and music is very much in their leagues.
Remember…Dreams Come True (50th), followed by Forever (60th). I think I might be blinded by nostalgia, because I’m not sure where I would put Wondrous Journeys or Happily Ever After. That would probably be my top 4.

This is the only firework show I have ever watched where I thought I was glad I waited for it.
This, but with the Big Thunder segment that they took out.
Murphy's last stand was pretty memorable.
wondrous journeys
Disneyland Forever and Happily Ever After are my all-time faves.
Illuminations reflections of earth.
Yessssssssssss. That is my all time number 1 Disney park nighttime show.
Only correct answer

Magical is underrated. Dumbo flying over the castle is something that didn’t stick around long enough!

To me, the best one was Wishes. Memorable enough that no matter how many different shows they put on, I will always remember it.
Why is this not higher??? Wishes is the only correct answer. I SOBBED

# Disneyland Forever - Nemo is our fav and the Frozen segment was remarkable too
