![IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth Soundtrack [Full Song]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vlJuGva4Xo4/mqdefault.jpg)
This was THE BEST EPCOT fireworks show EVER. Harmonious is good, but it doesn't hold a candle to this. The fireworks, the music, the fire, the spotlights, the lights, the lasers, everything all put together was the best.
Best show at Disney World EVER*. You can make a case for a decent number of them- but this show had basically everything- It paved way for technology and storytelling concepts that are used in every show since. This is probably the only show I have been moved to tears from.
I was so sad when I found out after the final show that the barges were totally scraped and dumped. Same thing is happening now with Harmonious. Such a shame and waste. Harmonious wasn't a very good show but the technology was really good. Imagine IllumiNations with Harmonious tech.
luminous: allow me to introduce myself
@@amymcallistersolwecki5570hahaha after watching this, it just reminds me how nostalgia biased I am. Honestly I hated harmonious but luminous was actually very worthy of replacing this show.
Best Epcot show? I’d argue from pre show to post show the whole thing was the greatest firework show Disney as company has ever created and I think if Walt was around and knew then details. As it was born out of the millennial celebration add in the torches etc. it’s the most Walt thing since Walt if that makes sense.
Best night time spectacular to date sad that it’s gone but for those who witnessed may it forever be in our hearts and as a cherished memory
This show literally won the best nighttime spectacular award for a decade in a row (I think more). All I know is that Illuminations won so much that they stopped doing the awards altogether because IROE was DOMINATING. They should bring it back so HarmonioUS can absolutely destroy its competition lol
Had my fist kiss during this
If that's not magical, I don't know what is
@@kiwikiwi2483 that’s so sweet!
Not my first kiss, but many, many kisses during this show.
❤
Privillege
I remember crying so hard watching this for the first time. As a former cast and cultural exchange program Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
After watching Luminous tonight, I appreciate this show so much more.
I never got bored of this magical show even after watching it almost every night for an entire year. Probably the best one of my life. Thank you Disney for the beautiful memories you left me ❤ Italian pavilion in the heart ❤️
As terribly sad and heartbroken I am to hear that it’s ending let’s take a moment to look at the bright side.
This show was at first never planned to last for 20 years.
But rather...it was suppose to end along with Tapestry of Nation in 2001, after the millieneum celebration was over. But it was SO successful, they decided to keep it going.
Yeah.... but.... RIP Inferno Barge :(
I hope they bring it back one day.
If they bring it back, cya all there!
Well not successful enough or it would still be here lol
This will always be my favorite nighttime show ever at WDW. It truly captures the spirit and purpose of the World Showcase. I hope the upcoming Luminous hearkens back to this vibe a bit more than the current Harmonious does. I enjoy Harmonious, but I miss the heart and soul of IllumiNations.
I know that this video has been posted for a while but my best memory is watching this on my mother’s 20 th anniversary of her passing and my daughter playing with a child that she just met and it being Epcot neither child spoke the same language bet acted like they knew each other for years and enjoyed their time together. My mother would have been proud.
Illuminations was a part of life for 2 decades. Seeing it go was like saying goodbye to a friend. Melodramatic? Yes. But I stand by it.
I was there for the last illumination show and I remember getting chills as soon as you heard that falcon scream at the beginning. Thank you Epcot
Same. I remember the crowd being 5 or 6 people deep around the lake as it rained.
As a former Mexican pavilion cast member I always will love this show!!!
This show - the music especially - has stayed with me through the years more than any other Disney park production. No matter how many times I see / hear it, I find myself getting emotional and choked up in places. Just goes to show the power of well-written and performed music paired with excellent visuals!
One of the best shows Disney ever produced. I made it a point to watch it every night after my shift at Mission Space because it was such a great show. They need to bring this back. Even if only for 1 night a year.
I am so beyond thankful that this has been captured in 4K. I haven't seen this since I was maybe 9 years old, and it impacted me in such an indescribable way. Unfortunately being that young, my memory of it is not so clear, and I am doubly devastated that it is now forever gone. I will never be able to experience it again as an adult. This presentation was profound in so many ways. It inspired wonder, creativity, a passion for the future, the unrelenting beauty of the earth in such a subtle, and intelligent way. The new presentation seems to be so much shallower, catering to an audience of increasingly shorter attention spans, and focusing more on franchises, and entertainment.
What was so great about EPCOT was that around the millennium, while Disney is...Disney, EPCOT itself seemed slightly detached from that identity. The attractions there led to inspire children, to get them interested in science, other cultures, and subtly encourage them to think more.
I dearly miss this, as it seems the sense of wonder, and curiosity is being replaced by the success of their franchises.
It could me more dramatic, fireworks wise, but I love this show so much. I remember towards the end, you could get a fast pass for it! I actually hugged my husband during it and crying. Because I'm a super emotional gay man. That finale and We Go On still breaks me down in tears.
It does for me too man. 😢
shout out to illuminations for being one of the reasons i was born
This show is a triumph of the human spirit. So beautiful. So majestic. That song evokes so much emotion. What an absolute masterpiece. I will never forget it.
I love my home. Planet Earth.😭😢😭😢😭
Love this -it’s so powerful when each of the country regions of the park light up onsite during the performance.
I was born in 1988 and have been lucky enough to have experienced this show more times than I could possibly count. It's easily the greatest fireworks display I've ever seen.
I was first in Epcot in the early 90s as a toddler. Fast forward about 25 years... and I was also there to see the final showing of Illuminations on September 30th, 2019.
And I Cried.
As far as I'm concerned, Disney is destroying Epcot. Amongst other things... people's memories.
It's just not the same anymore.
As a former college program cast member at EPCOT in 2001 I say thank you for capturing this so beautifully!!!
Past into future
I'm a CP too! 2007, I stayed in Chatham Square
I miss it! I used to be a cast member in Epcot in 1999/2000 and I’m so devastated that they don’t do this show anymore 😢
@@sarahbgln2012 Vista Ways here 😊
@@jhannawhite6249it’s so sad 😭
Miss this show so much
This show is one of my all time favourite parts of Epcot and disney world overall, the 50 anniversary show was amazing too. Sucks that videos can't truly recreate the feeling of being there in person, you feel the booms of each firework and everything just sounds amazing. Combined with the journey back to the buses and to your hotel. It's a wonderful experience.
Epcot being my home park when I used to work at Disney, it makes me sad that it’s over
Moving on through the good times and the tears
why am I sobbing
We all needed this right now (especially 9:56 onwards)
Fantasmic in the background makes this so amazing!!
Most magical show ever!!!
Admit it, Megan Ruch Watercolors. The show will be at night right after Disney's First Ever Successful Launch in the daytime at Epcot! Right?
This is easily the best video of Illuminations I’ve ever seen!! Great job!!!
My father passed away july 22nd im here as we came here years ago every year such fond memories love you dad
This was my favorite memory from Disney as a kid. I used to listen to this soundtrack every night 😂. So sad it’s gone!!! And I think there was a cool parade they had with people on stilts?
Maybe that was tapestry of nations
Yep! Tapestry of Nations! Stilt people along with really tall puppets and giant drum wheels!
They always called it tapestry of dreams in the time sheet ._. Was there a name change?
It was originally called Tapestry of Nations.. but then name changed to Tapestry of dreams but it was basically the same show.... it was one of the best parades too.. but nothing beats Illuminations... Epcot fireworks are just not the same now... I would have loved Illuminations to stay there forever and i would be fine with that...@@LunarSault23
Bring this back. This was one of my favorite things to do in all of Disney World.
Agreed! This is 1000x better than Harmonious!
This is definitely the best A/V quality I've seen online so far, and I know this by the fact this video made me go through 8 sobbing Kleenex sheets in one watch....well done
i remember watching this as a kid and i sobbed through it and i cried watching it again.
as a kid I never cared for it because I didn't like the music. now I love all of it and miss it.... I used to cry leaving the park because the music was a banger the older I got
It was really the best.
I remember my first trip to negotiate a sponsorship deal. I wore a suit in the humid summer…so stupid of me. I sweated through my suit that day. They wanted to walk me everywhere, but the heat was too much, and I asked them to cut it short.
Took a year to both negotiate the deal and work with their Imaganeers.
Ultimately based 35 staff at Epcot for 6 months, and I just dropped in a few days every week.
Illuminations was my magical evening every day that I visited. It gave me sincere joy.
Well…there was one night when the fireworks ash blew into my eyes, and the Epcot team literally just shrugged their shoulders. The exact person was soon let go…but that was because of several things.
Regardless, Illuminations was amazing, and will always have a place in my heart.
Im so glad I went to Disney Epcot when this was the fireworks show with my family.
Great news ! Harmonious at epcot is being replaced witch mean that illuminations might return !
I loved this leaving song, "Promise" so so much. I really miss this...
Love putting this on the tv in a dark room. So great
Not bad for a one-camera view. And we get a two-fer with the Magic Kingdom fireworks in the background.
NOTHING can beat the ILLUMINATIONS SOUNDTRACK. I wish they did not remove this show. I've not been back to WDW since Feb 2020 and let my AP's expire (for good reasons - WDW sucking the life out of your wallet and taking away EVERYTHING). That being said, our daughter got married in Disney and her reception was at EPCOT with Illuminations. A treasured memory.
10:31 gets me teared up everytime...
This show was ABSOLUTELY perfect! 😭😭😭
Back here to comment the same thing again. It’s hard to beat perfection.
This was a beautiful way to celebrate a great day with family and friends .
Who’s back after finding out harmonious sucked?

Illuminations: Reflections of Earth: May I go another night? Please?
Epcot: Sorry, But no! 'STABS ATTRACTION'
@2freeIvX Yeah. Seeing it in person for the first time, the first act can give you an audible "Holy SH*T" moment
@@grratana Epcot forever is a temporary filler for them to develop a new show that will last a while but I agree illuminations is a million times better and I wish I could see it again now. Hopefully with COVID it gave them time to hopefully release the new show soon
Disney has started posting official stuff about the new show, but I'm still mourning this one. :( Illuminations was hands down my favorite Disney night show--heck, my favorite Disney show, period--to the point where I'd see it multiple times a trip if I could manage it.
I am really going to miss this show when it goes away in September. I had fun creating a video on the history of Illuminations and other evening shows at EPCOT since 1982
It’s sad that it ended, but we still have the music, and that was honestly the most magical for me.
This show will always be better than any other new show they put in
Happily ever after in magic kingdom is up their
I miss you so much grandpa
Great job. Love this show! Thanks for sharing with us. :- )
Muchos recuerdos hermosos! No sé por qué lo cambiaron 😢
Bad news guys, Illuminations: reflections of earth is closing in Summer 2019 for a new firework show at Epcot! That means we have to say goodbye and farewell to Illuminations: Reflections of Earth until Summer 2019! I’m sad for it to go next summer in 2019. But I might be still showing when I go in April 2019 until it ends in Summer 2019
slightly good news you might have heard already. illuminations was extended to September.
Thank you for filming the post-show, it is very beautiful!
they cant refurbish my memorys
My frist time in Disney was 1992 up until 2004 I had been there nearly every year, probably abut 10 times. I went back in 2008, 2013, and now June 2021. This brings back so may memories and I'm so sad I can no longer see this show. The new pices for the fireworks are huge and it blocks part of the view across the lake.
i love the new show, but i miss when epcot was THIS.
Illuminations just hits differently. Harmonious is just not it.
The greatest disney night time show of all time
I enjoy how the music synced up with the Magic Kingdom fireworks in the backgroud.
Illuminations was a great show so sad it got replaced
This is the best quality video that I have seen of this awesome show! The score, the vocals, the lighting, that globe and, of course, the fireworks mesh so well together! This video makes me cry almost every time I view it. Thank you for posting it for Illuminations Lovers like myself, and PLEASE don't take it down. :)
I specifically remember one night in Epcot my family had eaten at restaurants on think Mexican pavilion they look right over the world showcase lagoon. And they went outside to watch and I’m afraid of fireworks. As the saying in Disney goes No frown in the happiest place on earth. The server we had stayed with me as my family watched the firework inside. She gave me tinker bell pendent that light up when you press the button I still remember it. God do I miss this show
i believe i saw this 2 or 3 times. i remember the world as a child either in 1999 or somewhere in the early 2000s. Thought it was so cool. Saw it again 5 years ago, stil thought it was cool but the world lights went out for half the performance. Was super sad, since i took my boyfriend there and he never saw them. Going again next week, but only going to WDW for 3 nights, and one of the nights is the halloween party. So i will miss a few of the firework shows. Its hard to have to choose between them all. Especially when you know one you seen in childhood is going away and the others you never seen before, its a tough choice. Hopefully, they can update the world and maybe use it in the next epcot firework and light show.
When I first watched this show in 2000, I was still afraid of pyrotechnics (given that in my country, there are a lot of incidents). Since 2003, I've enjoyed this show and almost every trip to Epcot is incomplete without this. Sad to see it go later this year. Disneyland Paris has the Illuminations name for their fireworks show and could be the only one to have this name by fall.
(Sniff) I’m gonna this show.
I SAW IT BACK IN 2016 FOR THE LAST 16 YRS ... IT IS THAT AWESOME
Saw it several years ago absolutely incredible to see live
Simply Extraordinary.
Love Happily Ever After fireworks behind Journey Into Imagination 😀
Actually I think that may have been Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular
@@metraking192 mgm is the other way
@@metraking192 Nope. When the camera zoomed in to the globe at the end of the show you can see that the fireworks are from the fighting segment of Happily Ever After.
@@metraking192 Not to mention that Star Wars doesn't use big fireworks anymore after Toy Story Land opened.
great job!!!
Thank you for this. It's an excellent capture of my favorite show. I will miss it immensely.
Wow! Very good videography! Really enjoyed this!
Thank you for your comment!
Don't forget to share ours videos :)
An absolute travesty that no one at Disney cares enough to give us a worthy successor to Reflections of Earth. We're stuck with a sing-along with no message instead.
I actually like HarmonioUS better than Illuminations. Don't kill me lol
I like harmonious better... To each their own.
Harmonious is better and it does have a message. I find illuminations the most boring snooze fest ever
Loved this show too bad it’s gone beautiful music
I miss this.
Used to always be a must go and watch this on New Years Eve, sad to see this show go
Great video What camera lens settings did you use
Watched Luminous this week and it falls flat. They should have brought back Illuminations and added in some drones or extra fireworks. But this show is better than the 3 they have tried to replace it with.
never forget what they took from you.
I’m crying cause I just found out this is ending. I don’t even want to believe it. This is too important to be lost. Though I suppose the words of the song at the end are even more poignant now
I miss this
*OHHHHHHH MY GOD!* *WOWWWWW LOOK AT THE VIEW!,* *ON THE SKY!,* *On* 0:06 🌅🏞 *ITS BEAUTIFUL!*
I'd literally give anything to see this again in person
Devastated that this is gone. I can’t believe it.
Outstanding. Why isn't it as good now :/
I remember seeing this back in 2011.
Than it's a fairy tale come true. For you. Magic Kingdom. 🌈

We played this for our marching band show one year. Easily my favorite show that we did. Loved it at Epcot!
Illumination 2000 reflections of earth debuted at epcot in 1999 part of disney world's millennium celebration.
i just got an arrangement of music for this in band and i almost screamed
Did you guys ever get to play it? I'm wondering because 7 months ago, it was May and you know COVID got bad
@@kiwikiwi2483 sadly no :(
@@abbyginge03 I'm sorry to hear that!
Were playing we go on as a ballad for marching band
What camera did you use for this?
Did anyone else see the fireworks of the Majic Kingdom in the background?
Oh, is that what those were? I thought it was weird to have more fireworks hidden behind the temple in the Mexican pavilion.
I love this show best ever imo but the refresh can be better than some flying kites ...
What is the post IllumiNations music called?? I loved it.
On the official CD it's called "Promise"
Then after promise they play the parade music from the Tapestry of Nations parade.
Where were the fireworks coming from in the background of Epcot I noticed them last time I watched this video
they’re the happily ever after show fireworks
We go on to promise
