![]() ![]() I have sweet memories of tired nights when my cheeks were numb from smiling, cold hands inside fluffy Tigger or Stitch paws, doling our high-fives to satisfies children with stars still in their eyes from that wonderful show. I saw/heard Illuminations: Reflections of Earth well over a hundred times when I worked in WDW as a College Program Intern. We took a trip to Disney with him about a year ago, and it was a blast! Katye on Apat 11:45 am Two years later, my sister did meet her Mr. I knew then she was going to be all right. My greatest memory is looking over at my sister in the middle of Illuminations and seeing the biggest smile on her face. Well, let me say, Disney handled the sudden change like pros and the revamped “family celebration” was spectacular. She said she wanted to go ahead with all the plans and still celebrate family, but when the actual activities happened, would she be okay? One of the planned events was a private dessert/wine party viewing of Illuminations right after what should have been the ceremony. Since our family was already there, we went ahead with the activities planned as a celebration of our family. (The groom was not very nice to my sister, so in the long run this was for the best). Looking forward to the new show though! Kassandra on Apat 3:48 pmĪ few years ago, my sister was supposed to get married at Disney and the wedding was called off as we were all arriving. ![]() We haven’t been there since that trip, and we won’t be back until early October, so I’m sad that we won’t get to see this show again. It was almost better than the show itself seeing these employees just letting loose and having fun during the show, and it was one of our favorite moments of the entire trip. A couple of ladies in another country, I can’t for the life of me remember which, were dancing. One guy in America was acting like he was conducting an orchestra. Not only did we get to see it from different angles, but we got to see cast members having the time of their lives toward the end of their work day. ![]() We walked through the entire thing so we could be in Mexico by the end. We were back around Japan when the show started, so I got to experience the show in a way I never had before. We were supposed to meet my sister and her husband in Mexico at the end of IllumiNations to leave the park together, but Justin and I were having so muh fun exploring that we lost track of time. Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for updates on the new nighttime spectacular and everything else coming to Epcot, and share your favorite memories of “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” with us in the comments.I’ve been going to Disney World my entire life, but my husband Justin’s first trip ever was in 2015. The new show joins several previously announced experiences coming to Epcot, including the highly-anticipated “Guardians of the Galaxy” roller coaster attraction, a “Ratatouille”-inspired attraction in World Showcase, a new table-service restaurant adjacent to Mission: SPACE and much more! And the all-new nighttime fireworks spectacular coming to Epcot’s World Showcase Lagoon will be part of the park’s exciting evolution. During the coming year, we’ll be celebrating this classic show, so you still have plenty of time to experience it again and again, as excitement builds for what’s next.Īs regular readers know, we’ve got big plans for our multi-year transformation of Epcot, with new experiences that will “Wow!” guests while keeping true to the original vision of the park. “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth,” which is currently planned to run to the end of summer 2019, has entertained millions of guests gathered around World Showcase Lagoon sharing the light and a story since it debuted in October 1999 as part of the Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration.
