Yeah I think because the Disneyland song was newish to everyone it was a hit.Great pictures from the concert ... and seems like the song Disneyland was a favorite of just about everyone that was there
and while those are nice Illuminations pictures I think it just doesn't do it justice to how great it was to be just right at the front row with tons of space around you and just taking it all in. Really was a bit of a "Disney high" to come right out of the Jodi Benson concert and walk up to seeing Illuminations
I agree, I have never been able to walk up 5 minutes before Illuminations and have so many great viewing options available.
