Illuminations: Reflections of Earth is arguably most people’s favorite of all of the night spectaculars at Walt Disney World. For me it ranks third…out of three and I can’t come to a concrete decision of which are one and two…it depends on my mood 🙂 Illuminations: Reflections of Earth debuted October 1, 1999 premiering as Illuminations 2000: Reflections of Earth as part of the Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration and still continues nightly to this day.
The spectacular show is a mix of fireworks, lasers, fire, fountains, movable lights, torches and an Earth barge all set to an exhilarating soundtrack by Gavin Greenaway. My favorite parts of the soundtrack are “We Go On” which is in Act III and “Promise” which is played post-show before the old Tapestry of Nations parade soundtrack.
You can catch Illuminations: Reflections of Earth nightly in World Showcase at Epcot at 9pm with special showing on July 4th and December 31st each year. What are your thoughts on this popular show? Leave me a comment and let me know.
Yes, this is my favorite!! Thanks for reminding me of it.
