Last day of illuminations epcot12/15/2023 Instead of direct, Illuminations is abstract. Rather than be nostalgic and distinctly Disney, Epcot’s nighttime spectacular is inspiring and maybe my first instance in realizing that these parks are a form of art. Illuminations: Reflections of Earth brings joy but also is hopeful, a show that leaves me thinking past that night and well into the following days. Both of these shows are beautiful and full of joy, truly making it feel like you’re in the happiest place on earth. The same can be said for Remember… Dreams Come True except that nighttime spectacular focuses on the parks, which makes it more meaningful to me. Happily Ever After doesn’t rest on its laurels, the show has a semblance of a plot and incredible pace as well as using incredible technology. Happily Ever After plays Can You Feel the Love Tonight and I’m brought back to seeing Lion King in the theater, all while my sense are overloaded with beautiful music and amazing sights. There certainly isn’t anything wrong with that and the synchronization of the music and fireworks are incredible in their own right. Most of these shows rely heavily on nostalgia. Happily Ever After and Remember… Dreams Come True, are shows that I love, ranking among my favorites. But, when that globe floats out to the middle of the lagoon followed by the pavilions lighting up in an energetic gallop I feel something that Disney’s other spectaculars don’t make me feel.ĭon’t get me wrong, I love firework shows. The lights have faded and been refurbished but still lack punch relative to other Disney projects. The fireworks are still impressive and great. The show was a vestige of what Epcot means to me, a beautiful way to celebrate our world in a hopeful manner. Illuminations: Reflections of Earth could have lasted for another twenty years and I never would have complained. Typically, I would rather nighttime spectaculars to last a decade at most. Along with Illuminations abstract nature, this has carried the show even if it twenty years old. The central idea of the show, that we are all connected through cultures, working together for the greater good is a classic one that stands the test of time. Illuminations is my favorite nighttime spectacular at Disney World. Ultimately, I think it’s probably a mix of all three but I’m happy that Illuminations is going out like this. Lastly, it’s possible that they just want to give guests a chance to say goodbye. Maybe the new show costs more money so they are holding off on costs for a while longer. One, Disney’s new show isn’t ready hence the long goodbye. That Illuminations: Reflections of Earth isn’t closing for nearly a full calendar year can be seen a few different ways. Illuminations will be ending in the second half of 2019, according to this official post, and will be immediately followed up by a new show. Epcot’s long running nighttime spectacular, Illuminations: Reflections of Earth is coming to an end. We knew the news was coming and yesterday it was finally announced.
