Tears boys. Goddamn this show was magic. I saw it on it's first night when I was a kid, soon after my mother got a job at epcot so I probably saw it 500+ times and just last year I caught the last viewing of it. My family and I cried like we lost a loved one. That is how awesome and touching this show was. When I was 16 and got my liscense the first place I drove was from Sumter county to Orlando to see these fireworks. Had my first date and kissed my first girl to these fireworks, Drank my first legal beer to these fireworks..sweet nostalgia. RIP IllumiNations.

Can't beat that my friend... I proposed to my wife during this show right at the end, the timing of the pyrotechnics and music was almost out of a movie. Sad to think we haven't been able to go back since, and now we'll never be able to see the show again.......

I'm not a crier! Having said that, when I learned that there was no more possibility of me seeing this in person after watching it countless times while my dad, brother, and grandmother worked there while I was young....I was very emotional! I'm so grateful that people recorded the show before it was no more! This song and that show will ALWAYS bring back fond memories of my childhood and life in a Disney family!

Good evening. On behalf of Walt Disney World, the place where dreams come true, we welcome you to EPCOT and World Showcase. We've gathered here tonight around the fire, as people of all land 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. And though each of us have our own individual stories to tell, a true adventure emerges when we bring them all together as one. We hope you'll enjoy our story tonight, "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth".

I agree! Illuminations was incredible! People, by the thousands, would stand around the lake, each and every night, to take home those dear memories of this show! The World Showcase taught the attendees about its different cultures and their way of living. Education was key! They taught that imagination, conservation and history are all important parts of life! But now, Disney seems to have a different agenda, and the magic is gone! The company only sees dollar signs. Magic moments have disappeared, and the customer service is out the window! Disney 2024 vs Disney 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s are two different experiences! Parents could take their families and feel good about their time spent! Not today! So not today! Lightning lane is despicable! Mid to lower middle class families can't afford Lightning lane. It cost enough to get in the gate! A family of 5+ may split some counter service meals, and wait forever to ride whatever they're in line for! All while watching others ride before them. People will leave, never wanting to come back, and Disney will lose generations of families in the long run! Their plan is to put a sub-par product out there and expect a maximum return, short term, on their investment! And in 10 years, you will see that WDW is just another Six Flags, with some old buildings that remind people of what this place was like at some point in the past! This is why this show meant so much to me! Reminds me of awesome times with my family, learning about other cultures, and on occasion, meeting people from around the globe. Our world teaches us division today and now the place where some of our fondest memories were made is doing the same thing! Thank you Illuminations for allowing me to have a glimpse of hope in mankind! I'd rather stay home, watch videos of better days gone by and hope that someone at the executive level remembers that Walt Disney had a heart for the American family! The executives seem to have lost that vision!

I first saw Illuminations in 2005 and I was completely blown away. It fast became a priority on every trip, never missed a show until it ended. I know a lot of people are upset to see it gone, but I say this... like yearning to go back to our childhood, we cannot go back. But if you live in the present and fully enjoy things as they happen, you will make these new memories last forever. Once me and my wife got married and had our 2 boys, they quickly got to experience Illuminations, along with everything else Disney. I now have the most fun and special memories with them. For anyone upset about its non-existence and how Disney has "changed" I say embrace changes and everything Disney. It is still and will always be one of the most unique and wonderful things on this earth

I am sure gonna miss this show when it ends. This is possibly the most musically complex composition ever written for a fireworks show, especially the part at 8:35 where it launches into 7/4 time! I remember first hearing that in the ads for Epcot shown on the TV at the resorts. But the only thing missing from the score is that large cluster of fireworks explosions at the very end! Get goosebumps every time.

Was a passholder, and always used a Fastpass for Illuminations every visit to EPCOT (my favorite park anyway), and would queue up 2 hrs early to get a front row place. Loved the off-site music that started about a half-hour before Illuminations began...that was part of the experience of the show, too...the torches...the opening monologue...the breath that blew us into darkness as the drums began...I knew exactly when the globe came alive...when each "land" relit its pavilion...the final blast of fireworks at the end of "We Go On"...like others have said, I hope they bring it back from time to time, and I hope I'm back at EPCOT when they do...

This piece and this show will always have a place in my heart. Watching Illuminations was always my favorite part about going to Walt Disney World, and I am so incredibly sad to see this show go. This score means so much to me, and is by far my favorite piece of music ever written. I can honestly say that this score is what made me fall in love with music, and is what led me to pursue a career in it. This music was one of the few scores to come out of the florida parks, and it has done a stellar job at touching the lives of so many the past 20 years it has premiered at Epcot. Watching it for the last time a few weeks truly brought me to tears, but I am so incredibly glad this show was around when it was. Thank you for everything Gavin Greenaway and Disney.

The lyrical part is secondary but that part makes you feel incredible right before they hit you with the moving words. It's really a well constructed piece of music to move you emotionally. I don't think the "we go on" portion would be anywhere near as moving without this musical precursor.

I just watched the last show tonight at the park. I gotta say, I’m pretty happy with the send off it got! I didn’t think as many people cared about this show, so while it was pretty harrowing to see so many people, it was heartwarming to see that so many people cared about the show. Everyone clapped, sang, smiled and cried together. It was wonderful. And you know, I really feel like that’s what Disney is all about besides all the news around companies and money and all that stuff. It’s about the magic, the magic of putting a smile on a child’s face, the magic of coming together as one to say goodbye to something we all love so dearly, and to move on together with our arms linked in harmony. It really is something to hear an ocean of people sing together, remembering the happy memories and creating new ones. You could feel the magic in the air. I can still feel it during this car ride home. I don’t know the last time I’ve had a smile for this long. It’s always sad to say goodbye to something so incredible and awesome, but as the show says itself: we move on. IllumiNations, Reflections of Earth will always be my favorite nighttime show and will always be in my heart.

I went to Disney World for the first time last November. My brother was wanting me to go again with him this year, and I kept debating back and forth in my head whether I could afford it, whether I wanted to, etc. I listened to this today, just on a whim, and... well... it kinda sealed the deal for me.

Best fireworks display and soundtrack KNOWN TO MANKIND! Totally worth the price of the ticket! I tear up at 8:01. SO EPIC

Gavin Greenaway's anthem has never been equaled. It's a visceral experience that cuts to the soul. Playing it on my surround system is an immersive, fantastical event. Greenaway's shifts from haunting to joyful, mysterious, and then, sheer exuberance for the finale lift the spirit. A real roller coaster auditory experience.

I was in middle school in 2000 and I'll never forget being on one of our family Disney vacations and watching the Tapestry of Nations parade in the afternoon, followed by Reflections of Earth at night. These performances absolutely touched my soul and changed my life for the better--they just struck deep. And when i got the Millennium Celebration CD (possibly for Christmas), I was absolutely thrilled. I am so sad this show is long over, but each time I listen to this soundtrack, I cannot help but get goosebumps and, frequently, I tear up, because it's so powerful, beautiful, magnificent, and perfect!

they can bring it back if popular demand for it was strong and the new show dosent do well. I'm sure its there plan c. they spent a billion on galaxy's edge to cater to fans, anything is possabal. lets just hope

I am so going to miss this show when it ends next year. I have seen it over 50 times and never gets old. Best show was a night it was delayed 50 minutes due to nasty storm. Very few people stayed. On the rail by Italy with just 6 other people. Love the Holiday add on for the Holidays.

I so love this show, I’m so sad to hear it’s ending this year. I’ve just taken my 7-year old son to Epcot and this blew him away. I’m glad I got to share this with him before it closes. So many happy memories are wrapped up in this for me. I saw this a number of times in the past with my parents. My Dad sadly passed away in 2015, and this makes me tear up for more reasons now than it just being a wonderful show.

I heard this for the first time running through the Nations, January 2000 in the WDW Half Marathon/Marathon (they were on the same day back then). It was inspiring. The torches were lit, the music was playing, it was about 6:30AM. I have no pictures or film, but I can remember it like yesterday. Later on in the week, we stayed in EPCOT for the fireworks. The music played. To this day, every time I go back and watch IllumiNations, I can still visualize running next to my sister as the torches were lit, the music played, and we ran with inspiration. And each time we cry.

Seen both, and this is better. World of Color needed to have a layout just like this and they should of where it is seeable throughout the lake, but it's not.

You can pretty much only see World of Color if you look at it from straight on. Illuminations can be seen from anywhere around the lake.

I’m going to miss this show. For my entire life, and every Disney trip I’ve ever taken, it has always been the first firework show I watch on the first day I arrive, and the last one I watch on the day I’m going to go home. I have no doubt in my mind that the new show will be incredible, just like Happily Every After, but the nostalgia that comes with this show brings me to tears every time I watch it. Goodbye original Illuminations, I’ll be coming to see you one last time this April, and then I will bitterly miss you.
