Wow, I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I haven't been around these parts since I last went to WDW and would definitely like to agree that Wishes was a dud. It was a major disappointment for me, after hearing so much about how great 'Believe' was in CA.

I want to see fireworks and hear music, not see a few cool shells and hear Jiminy pontificate on the meaning of life for 10 minutes. While the new effects were great, the show itself paled in comparison to the last version of Fantasy in the Sky.
Illuminations: Reflections of Earth is the best, though. I love it so much. In fact, reading this thread forced me to dig through my hard drive so I could hear it. It's such a great show, and you don't have to deal with bad character imitations or Stepford children like in Wishes.
I know I'll be in the park on both Sat and Sun, claiming my spot hours ahead of time...
