Act I: Chaos, the earliest phases of our planet. This technique also allows the shells to be launched without the “trail” typically associated with fireworks) Illuminations: Reflections of Earch: Act IIĪfter the first rocket, the First Act in a three-part play begins. BANG!! A single shot across the sky, symbolizing the Big Bang – the start of the story! (Side Note: Disney introduced a compressed air system for launching the fireworks along with a timing chip in the shell itself, allowing for precision timing with the soundtrack.
We hope you enjoy our story tonight: Reflections of Earth.”įollowing that introduction, the torches are blown out and there is a moment of darkness… A steady drum beats faster… and. And though each of us has our own individual stories to tell, a true adventure emerges when we bring them all together as one. We’ve gathered here tonight around the fire, as people of all lands have gathered for thousands and thousands of years before us, to share the light and to share a story - an amazing story, as old as time itself, but still being written. On behalf of Walt Disney World, the place where dreams come true, we welcome all of you to Epcot and World Showcase. All to prepare you for the classic introduction: Barges were moved into position, the lighting dimmed, and lasers and effects emerged from where there were none. While you were enjoying the wonderful pavilions around World Showcase, the stage was being set. Right down to the pre-show music and the lighting of the torches around World Showcase, everything is designed to pull you into the story, the story of Planet Earth.
For more details on the Epcot Millenium Celebration be sure to check out the television Special Here, And the 1999 Walt Disney World Christmas Parade I took the opportunity to review not only the highlight of Epcot’s 30 th Anniversary during my recent trip but spent some time reviewing the details of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.
With the occasional special tag, or ending, you can expect the same performance with every visit. Less than 2000 in the title, the show continues to this day. Premiering on October 1, 1999, Epcot’s 17 th anniversary (long before D23 and any “fan events”) Illuminations 2000: Reflections of Earth was part of the Epcot Millennium Celebration. Illumination is a wonderful nightly ritual at Epcot, but it’s much more than just fireworks. Illuminations: Reflections of Earth lights up World Showcase Lagoon at Disney World Epcot Case in point, the award winning nightly fireworks, pyrotechnics, fountain, laser light show “Illuminations: Reflections of Earth”. And like everything at Epcot, and Walt Disney World in general, the attention to detail and story allow me to find something new every trip. Like the dedication plaque says “Here, human achievements are celebrated through imagination, the wonders of enterprise and concepts of a future that promise new and exciting benefits for all”. The attractions are secondary, although I can’t wait for the new Test Track and always love Soarin’, but Epcot is just more than attractions to me. Not sure if you noticed, but I didn’t ride anything. It’s not a secret that EPCOT Center (ok… Epcot) is one of my favorite places! In my last blog, I talked about my experiences at the Epcot 30 th Anniversary Celebration on October 1, 2012.
