We went in January before all of covid went down and I told my girlfriend to go see it before it changes and she was glad we fast passed the better seating area. I agree it had a good run and will miss it and the tapestry of dreams.
I know you guys are sad that Illuminations Reflections of Earth is now closed at Epcot, It’s getting pretty old, so they have to close it for something new at Epcot, cause will go on and moving on and ever on into the future, sorry about your loss of Illuminations reflections of Earth you guys
I remember as a kid I would make my parents stay and listen to this song while I played on those light up floor tiles. You know, the ones that look like stars under your feet? Alright, I lied. I'm 24 and I STILL do this. Man, I love Walt Disney World.
This was mine and my bf's song, he then proposed to me just before Illuminations started. I said yes and this became our wedding song. His wedding ring is even engraved with "we'll go on". :)
My then-bf proposed to me right after Illuminations this past April! It was already my favorite show and now it means even more to me :) Congrats on your marriage!
"We'll go on, Growing closer through the Years." Rest In Peace, the Greatest Firework show on Earth, IllumiNations. IllumiNations: Reflections Of Earth. 1999 - 2019
I was a cast member at Epcot in the Disney College Program. Worked at World Showcase, so heard this song every night. Gives me chills now listening to it. Makes me miss my time there
I remembered hearing the Last “Promise” at the last day of Illuminations and I Legit broke down crying. I told my friends that I’ve seen this show many, many, times. And it was Hard Seeing it Leave after 20 Years and how I was very proud that they Came out and saw it their first and Last time. All I can Say is RIP to a Legendary show Illuminations: Reflections of earth *October 2nd, 1999-September 30th, 2019.*
I sat down on a bench near Canada and just sobbed and sobbed while this song played after the last IllumiNations. It was an emotional night for everyone.
The most magical thing is being able to come to America for the first time and also work here at Epcot/Disney and hear this song every night, even after 3 months its still so beautiful, wouldnt change it at all. Thank you Walt for making all my dreams come true.
The end of an era. And as the final show exploded over Epcot on September 30th 2019 and my wife and I danced to Kellie Coffey's "We'll Go On" one last time, we and everyone around us will remember the magic of "IllumiNations - Reflection of Earth" forever. Thank you Disney for the most touching, uplifting, poignant and amazing show that, every time I saw it, restored my faith in humanity just a little. Only your best artists and imagineers could have brought this to life the way you did. May IllumiNations live on in the hearts and minds of all who saw it - so that we may continue to strive toward making the Earth a better place to live.
Rip Illuminations. You were truly a one of a kind experience, one of my all time favorite Disney experiences ever. You will be GREATLY missed, especially this exit music.
Every time I hear this song I remember holding my moms hand heading for the resort buses after watching illuminations. I will never forget that feeling
If I’m ever lucky enough to find someone and have children of my own, I would love to take them to the place that helped mold me into the person I am today.
Sadly, IllumiNations is one of the last remnants of what EPCOT stands for. EPCOT is about the human spirit, how it started, what its done and where its going. As popular as it is, Frozen isn't about humanity. And I get that Disney is a business and just trying to make money but EPCOT is an inspiration rooted deeply to Walt himself. Hoping one day someone up there at Disney remembers what the park is all about.
I'm sort of two minds about this. Having a Disney movie as a gateway to the culture in theory sounds pretty nice, but not like what happened with Frozen. Maybe more like the Latin America stuff with Three Caballeros, and the guys are more of a conduit to its discussion. Maybe have Mary Poppins talking about the UK as sort of a cultural commentator on its peculiarities, or Chef Gusteau's staff talking about France, (because the Princesses have enough weight thrown around) or Mulan talking China, etc. I mean, sure Canada's not got anything, but it could probably be part of the joke. Like their Canada discussion is also about trying to get someone to make a Canadian Disney movie, and have it be a running gag. Canadians love that sort of 'ho hum y'know we exist too, eh' junk.
strikeuptheband Your wrong. Frozen is about humanity. It teaches young girls to be strong and independent. To treat people with love, affection, and respect! That does continue Walt's idea of bringing the world together as one, peacefully!
strikeuptheband You have to see things for not just being movies, but keeping the lessons and traditions that Walt started. I'm for old school Disney, but even Walt wanted things to move toward the future and for things to stay with the times but teach the same lessons in a different way. He was for progress. So we honor him with progress, passion, love, respect, family, and tradition!
I don’t know if I can leave Epcot at night without this song to walk out to 😔 really disappointed that they’d remove this, especially since EPCOT Forever is about Epcot’s past, why take away one of the most amazing songs. It really gives you an emotional connection to the park, and now that’s gone. Ugh.
Such an emotional song for me and my family, the last time we heard this song my grandma was with us and so was my unncle but we just lost him to cancer, everytime we hear this song it takes us back to family holidays to florida :( x
Planning to have this as the first dance at my wedding. I have always loved this song, and cry everytime. My fiance agreed to this song, as soon as she heard it. Thank you so much for posting this!
I love this song too. Me and my fiance agreed this would be a perfect last dance song at our wedding. I could not think of a better send off than "Promise ".
Every time I hear this, I'm right back in EPCoT at the end of the day again. Revisiting December 2014! Can't wait, some of our family's happiest times on vacation were in EPCoT.
I miss this song so much. Disney has turned so bad since I left Orlando. Not only are they nickel and doming like crazy now, no, they also got rid of all the classics in EPCOT. The old music in EPCOT will forever be in my heart. I really have no desire to visit Disney anymore at all. They really ruined the magical feeling.
Oddyssey I haven't stayed in the polynesian village but i have stayed in Disney's all stars movies, sports, music, pop century, and port orleans - riverside there nice.
+Gyr0scope 88 The Polynesian is wonderful! It's so beautiful and relaxing, it has the Luau, which is a great show, and the nice thing is the Monorail goes through the Main Polynesian building, so you can go right to EPCOT without all the wait for the buses. Totally worth it. I just wish we could afford another trip back there. It's going to be a while, but I just love it so much! If you have the money, I highly recommend it!!
Thanks for posting this. This time last week was our last Disney day in a magical fortnight in Orlando with the kids. We went over to Epcot for the final time in the late afternoon to catch the fireworks. I remember this song as we slowly made our way from the Rose and Crown area. Special moments we will never forget. Huge respect for all you cast members. You all work so hard often wearing heavy costumes in very hot weather. You create magic every day.
Every evening wins an ending, every day becomes a legacy, every sunset leads to morning, with a promise of opportunity, we can reach for the stars, we find along the way, dreaming as we learn to love, every day promise, you will take my hand, as tomorrow comes, will go on, we'll go on, growing closer through the years, moving on through the good times and the tears, ever on another thousand circles around the sun, if two can be as one, will go on, There is music if you listen, in the rhythm of each breath we take, destinations and discover, revelations, from every choice we make, and I know, there are diamonds dancing in the sky all we have to do is open our eyes, promise we’ll walk side by side, as a new day dawns, will go on we’ll go on, growing closer through the years, moving on, through the good times and the tears, ever on, another thousand circles around the sun, a new life has begun, the two of us as one, will go on.... moving on through the good times and the tears, ever on, another thousand circles around the sun, a new life has begun, when two of us are one, and we live to keep a promise, will go on ever on, we'll go on...
@@ukelijah good for you that you are amused by it. Unfortunately for you that you have no comprehension of such great meaningful lyrics of hope and joy, of which that lift the human spirit during times of gloom and doom that encompass around humanity.
Since I worked at Epcot and saw illuminations every night I got a tattoo of the Epcot ball that has ears with the year I worked there and in the other it says we’ll go on from illuminations!
My now wife and I met while working for the Walt Disney Company in 2006. We were attractions Cast Members in Frontierland and Adventure Land. Our dates were often to Epcot. Our first dance was in the China pavilion to this song. We married in 2010 and Promise was our wedding song.
I was there and witnessed history. I bursted into tears because this show has been around my entire life and to see it end just breaks my heart. But like what Walt Disney said, We must keep moving *Forward* I’ll never forget the last time I saw the globe illuminated as I walked away in teary eyes. It was time to say bye to a friend I’ve known all my life.
This is such an uplifting song to listen to. I actually stand in the park as it closes, singing along with the song as it plays, waiting for all the guests to leave, just to close the park down, oh what great memories.......
I'm listening to this song because it reminds me of being with my family when I was young. My dad has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and I am remembering back on EPCOT with my parents. This song, Tapestry of Nations, Illuminations, and the Millineum Celebration are some of my fondest memories. I wish EPCOT as it was when I was younger with them.
I have been going to Epcot for 20 years and every time, the last night of a holiday, is spent under the big ball, listening to this song. The memories of my son growing up from a small child, are entwined with this music, leaving Epcot, always with a tear looking back !
I went the other day and forced my family to stay for illuminations. I got a shirt for it's farewell(and ears & a cup) since I'm going to miss it. World showcase lagoon is a perfect place and illuminations made it even more iconic. We're gonna miss you illumiNations:Reflections of Earth!
This is such a beautiful song. I can't help but imagine walking out of a crowded Epcot, happliy smelling the smoke after Illuminations. I love that show as well! Brings me great memories!
Somebody needs to make a video of illuminations but put in some deep bass booms for the fireworks. Then you could hook it up to your car and feel the booms like it was in person.
Loved hearing this song every night as we walked out from closing The Land for the night. Some of my best memories were working at EPCOT and D/MGM while I attended UCF.
Me. Have just viewed the video footage I took this time last week when we were there for the fireworks. When I first heard it at Epcot over the speakers I thought the vocal sounded a bit like Celine Dion....
Damn this song takes me back. I was a Photopass photographer from 2017-2019 and would always hear this songs whenever I closed out the park after the fireworks. Still miss Illuminations.
This is my wedding song! My husband and I got married in Epcot in 2001 and we chose Promise for our wedding song. Disney Weddings are the best! Rehearsal party at The Adventurer's Club with club characters, wedding ceremony in Japan (we even had the Drummers play for us immediately after the ceremony during cocktails, reception at the Living Seas VIP Lounge where we danced to Promise and then dessert party for Illuminations and got to hear "our song"! Love it!
I heard this song for a week once every year since I was in my mother's stomach, as Disney World has always been a tradition of ours. And to this day, it has never gotten old, and still as I listen to this wistful and beautiful song, it still brings me a heavy feeling in my heart and a tear or two to my eyes. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Shitsney ended this 20 (now 22) year old masterpiece’s life just for a bunch of led screens that in performance, and especially in the public’s eye, looks like it’s straight out of a Video Brinquedo mockbuster film Shitsney calls “a successor” to this amazing yet sadly now-deceased fireworks show
Wow. This song is so beautiful! Disney World has some of the best music (and exit music!) as I have went to Walt Disney World twice -2008 & 2012 (and i loved everything about my two trips to Walt Disney World) I absolutely love The magic That Walt Disney World has! :) I love Disney World and the music makes me happy when I’m feeling down! :) I 💖 Walt Disney World So much!
I've been going to disney since I was little. I still go even at 19. I'm going again to celebrate after I graduate from hs next week! I hope to visit epcot again!
Watched Illuminations for the last time on Friday before it ends its run this Summer. I've never cried so much after watching it for the past 4 years. I'll always remember the memories that were made with my family and friends whilst this show took place.
Always the last park I leave on every trip, about three times a year. I alway set on a bench on the way out and listen to this. Couldn't ask for a better song to listen to before heading home. Always take you time leaving, there is no hurry, life is long. Don't let anyone tell you different.
My holiday ended on the last day of Illuminations! I'm 27 now and remember watching it when I was 11 Years old with my mum who is no longer alive. Music makes time travel possible!
OK, hear me out: The Magic is Calling currently plays at the end of the Harmonious post-show, which means after the 50th ends there will be an empty song slot to fill. What could they put in its place, you ask? Simple - *this song.* In theory, it fits perfectly with the theme of the new show, especially with its closing narration “…and know that the promise of someday begins inside of you today.” Plus it would be a great way to acknowledge EPCOT’s past, while still looking ahead to the future.
This song companied me for a year during my CRP. I miss this song so much but its pity that I cant listen to it next time I visit wdw again :'( and I miss u soooo bad Epcot
I did a CRP too. I am beyond sad about what they did to WDW and especially EPCOT. All the amazing music (Innoventions area music, entrance loop, Illuminations) is gone. And WDW lost all it's magic with the nickel and diming. I wanted to go on a big month long vacation there after Covid, but Chapek killed every desire of returning I ever had. It will never live up to how it was again
makes me tear up everything i hear this song. i love disney since the day i stepped foot in all the parks. been going since i was 1. i’m 16 now. disney is my happy place tbh.❤️❤️

This song is a tearjerker.
I don't know why people don't like Epcot as much as the other parks. I loved it there. It was an awesome experience.
+Harsha Mohite I concur. It is every bit as good as the other parks if not better.
Just visited all WDW parks. Epcot was by far the best one. So much ingenuity. Everything there is done very well.
WDW is well done, except for the seven seas lagoon.
I heard one that Epcot was more visited than Hollywood Studios which really surprised me.

I have been going to Epcot for 20 years and every time, the last night of a holiday, is spent under the big ball, listening to this song. The memories of my son growing up from a small child, are entwined with this music, leaving Epcot, always with a tear looking back !
"The big ball" clearly you're not a real disney fan
I went the other day and forced my family to stay for illuminations. I got a shirt for it's farewell(and ears & a cup) since I'm going to miss it. World showcase lagoon is a perfect place and illuminations made it even more iconic. We're gonna miss you illumiNations:Reflections of Earth!
This is such a beautiful song. I can't help but imagine walking out of a crowded Epcot, happliy smelling the smoke after Illuminations. I love that show as well! Brings me great memories!
think i memorised this song when i was three, now when i'm leaving and singing it i get weird looks from people but i love it too much to care
***** Nothing weird about expressing Walt's hopes and wishes; and your impressed spirit in song. Very cool!!
Don't be embarrassed.... my mom was dancing at the Disney Christmas party with neon strobe lights... I wanted to die.
Beautiful song! Sung at our wedding 6 years ago today!
Somebody needs to make a video of illuminations but put in some deep bass booms for the fireworks. Then you could hook it up to your car and feel the booms like it was in person.
ok well now i know what my wedding song is... this song gives me chills every time
Epcot is the best of all the Disney parks. I don’t care what anyone says. It left me in awe last time I was there.
Loved hearing this song every night as we walked out from closing The Land for the night. Some of my best memories were working at EPCOT and D/MGM while I attended UCF.
anyone else search "song leaving Epcot" because you didn't know the name of the song?????
Yes! 😂
brings back many happy memories even leaving the park!
Me lmao
Me. Have just viewed the video footage I took this time last week when we were there for the fireworks. When I first heard it at Epcot over the speakers I thought the vocal sounded a bit like Celine Dion....
@@KennnnnnyTucky I thought it was Celine too!
Wow, your good!
I've never heard this played in Epcot before. I'll keep an ear out for it when I go back this summer.
+NightDragon Official (NightDragon204) If you haven't gone back already, stick around after the Illuminations show. It plays right after :)
The true epcot leaving song.
One of the best memories of my life ❣️❣️❣️
I used to always hear this song playing as I was leaving epcot which was right after illuminations had ended. RIP illuminations you will be missed. 👋👋
Our wedding song. I will miss the tears we shed every time we leave the park.
I can’t imagine listening to this on September 30 :(
Stop it, you're already making me cry.
we need a moment of silence
Damn this song takes me back. I was a Photopass photographer from 2017-2019 and would always hear this songs whenever I closed out the park after the fireworks. Still miss Illuminations.
Absolutely beautiful. Makes me cry happy every time. Thanks for sharing...
Awesome song, alot of memories...Cant wait to go back!
Did you?
This is what I'm going to miss the most when Illuminations is over.
This is my wedding song! My husband and I got married in Epcot in 2001 and we chose Promise for our wedding song. Disney Weddings are the best! Rehearsal party at The Adventurer's Club with club characters, wedding ceremony in Japan (we even had the Drummers play for us immediately after the ceremony during cocktails, reception at the Living Seas VIP Lounge where we danced to Promise and then dessert party for Illuminations and got to hear "our song"! Love it!
I heard this song for a week once every year since I was in my mother's stomach, as Disney World has always been a tradition of ours. And to this day, it has never gotten old, and still as I listen to this wistful and beautiful song, it still brings me a heavy feeling in my heart and a tear or two to my eyes. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Jillian, my family and I are with you.....it's part of the magic
One of the most beautiful songs ever sung. Second only to “We Go On”
I go every year and this song is when we leave I miss it (click like this comment if I'm not the only one who crys leaving Disney world )
Shitsney ended this 20 (now 22) year old masterpiece’s life just for a bunch of led screens that in performance, and especially in the public’s eye, looks like it’s straight out of a Video Brinquedo mockbuster film Shitsney calls “a successor” to this amazing yet sadly now-deceased fireworks show
A line from this is engraved on my engagement ring ❤
This music is so beautiful
I will protest to bring this song back. I will.
Wow. This song is so beautiful! Disney World has some of the best music (and exit music!) as I have went to Walt Disney World twice -2008 & 2012 (and i loved everything about my two trips to Walt Disney World) I absolutely love The magic That Walt Disney World has! :) I love Disney World and the music makes me happy when I’m feeling down! :) I 💖 Walt Disney World So much!
Does anyone have a link to the version of this song that just goes “way-la, way-la, way-la”?
Are you thinking of Tapestry of Nations?
That was it, thanks! I didn't know it was such a long song.
I sing this to my dog and he falls asleep every time
This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I love Epcot. It's my home and this makes me want to go home even more.
I've been going to disney since I was little. I still go even at 19. I'm going again to celebrate after I graduate from hs next week! I hope to visit epcot again!
Was it fun
I went to Epcot for a field trip best field trip ever
Watched Illuminations for the last time on Friday before it ends its run this Summer. I've never cried so much after watching it for the past 4 years. I'll always remember the memories that were made with my family and friends whilst this show took place.
Always the last park I leave on every trip, about three times a year. I alway set on a bench on the way out and listen to this. Couldn't ask for a better song to listen to before heading home. Always take you time leaving, there is no hurry, life is long. Don't let anyone tell you different.
I Need to work Here!!! love Disney
I'm not crying you're crying
1:34 The Nostalgia! 😢
miss my home :,) ♡
Beautiful song! and yes, I own the Reflections CD that has this song on it....they got me! hehe :)
My holiday ended on the last day of Illuminations! I'm 27 now and remember
watching it when I was 11 Years old with my mum who is no longer alive.
Music makes time travel possible!
Sorry for your loss
OK, hear me out:
The Magic is Calling currently plays at the end of the Harmonious post-show, which means after the 50th ends there will be an empty song slot to fill.
What could they put in its place, you ask? Simple - *this song.* In theory, it fits perfectly with the theme of the new show, especially with its closing narration “…and know that the promise of someday begins inside of you today.” Plus it would be a great way to acknowledge EPCOT’s past, while still looking ahead to the future.
Well they closed HarmonioUS (finally)
This song companied me for a year during my CRP. I miss this song so much but its pity that I cant listen to it next time I visit wdw again :'( and I miss u soooo bad Epcot
I did a CRP too. I am beyond sad about what they did to WDW and especially EPCOT. All the amazing music (Innoventions area music, entrance loop, Illuminations) is gone. And WDW lost all it's magic with the nickel and diming.
I wanted to go on a big month long vacation there after Covid, but Chapek killed every desire of returning I ever had. It will never live up to how it was again
I remember going to EPCOT and blocks used to light up 🆙 under your feet oh the memories
Who’s listening to this while in quarantine
makes me tear up everything i hear this song. i love disney since the day i stepped foot in all the parks. been going since i was 1. i’m 16 now. disney is my happy place tbh.❤️❤️
Now you're 19/20/21
If we only had music like this follow us everywhere, the world would be a much more peaceful place, full of hope and understanding.
Beautiful song
