I have seen this show live hundreds of times. My mom loves the soundtrack and I have a copy in my car. The emotions this show brings up is what I wish any of the new WDW fireworks did. This show is one of the best displays I have ever seen and gives me all the feelings even watching it on a computer screen. RIP Illuminations we miss you

[@ZeranZeran]

If there's one thing I've learned about Disney, the only thing they listen to is thousands of people screaming at them for something. Everyone should leave "BRING BACK ILLUMINATIONS" in every kind of survey or rating.

[@MikeMooreDO]

Same here, I still can't stop from crying when I think of the last time I took my Mom there. 💔

Welcome to the post-Harmonious celebration show everyone. 🥲

Buahahahah

HarmonioUS was just the pre-show. The real show is online, here.

Harmonious is somehow too much and not enough at the same time.

[@alujis]

Luminous looks no better. People say its a good successor, but honestly it's kinda lame and doesnt really fit in Epcot

One of the last remnants of Epcot’s thesis right here! End of an era, you’ll live on in our memories Illuminations.

[@nickford2692]

Allow me to echo the once wise words of the infamous Millenium Celebration anthem but with new revised lyrics I made: "The future is coming We've got to catch if we can A new story's unfolding Right in the palm of our hands Now's the time that we gather today Now's the time that our memories will never fade away Let us welcome the future Let our dream shine brighter for the world to see Peace will forever prosper Let us not untie our bands For we'll celebrate the future hand in hand Let's celebrate the future hand in hand A brand new tommorow awaits for me and you So join the celebration See all your dreams come true All of us together in harmony Let this moment go down in history!"

[@dgurlie-0273]

This is the show everyone is so upset over that it got replaced? Maybe because I’ve never seen this show before. This being my first time watching it, I kind of expected more. It’s a bit… simple. It’s calming. But what’s the story? I’m not getting it. I’m not saying simple is bad or boring. It’s just simple. Look, this is just my opinion, so don’t kill me because I have a different opinion. I came here to see what all the fuss was about, that’s all.

My papa and I would rush over to Epcot after an early dinner just to see Illuminations. It's so hard to see it go. My whole childhood was this show. Im so happy that in 2 weeks I will be able to see it for my final time. My papa and I ended up crying when we found out it was going away but, when we realized we'd get a new show we decided we shouldn't be sad and be happy! Farewell Illuminations, my favorite fireworks show. 💜

Watching after just watching harmonious. Tech obviously not the same but the story and how it evolves is so much better. Originality! Oh yeah Disney isn't about that anymore. Sad! Creativity is lost that made it special.

Epcot used to wow people by how unique it was apart from intellectual properties. It stood on it's own without having to wave carrots over people's heads. The Old Epcot magic needs to come back

i sae Harmonius's last show, watching it was kind of painful, it was a disgrace to IllumiNations and Epcot as a whole and I'm glad it's gone. Epcot Forever honestly could have worked as a long term replacement. I saw that when it returned and it wad actually pretty good

[@Jamesonfp]

One vivid memory i have of this show was from when I was very little (maybe 6 or 7 yrs old). I was terrified of fireworks and large nighttime spectaculars at the time, so when the show started I ran into a gift shop to escape the firework explosions and loud music (my parents stayed outside to watch the show). I stayed in the gift shop for the entirety of the show and happened to find a cool collectible pen. I eventually bought it. That’s it.

[@CS-sr2wz]

Illuminations holds such a special place in my heart. We first witnessed it at the turn of the millenium with the Tapestry of Nations parade in Dec 2000. It will always, always remind me of my parents, but beyond that I became engaged to my husband at the Italy Pavillion in 2017, no one was there and we had it all to ourselves. There is so much emotion for so many people that encompasses Illuminations over the years. I've listened to the CD with my mom in the car growing up so many times. I will never forget this and I wish it could go on forever. My parents are older now, and I get emotional thinking of listening to this without them. I have the absolute best memories with them during these shows.

[@guillaumefrenchboy9399]

This show was AMAZING. All the spirit of Epcot and World Showcase. All the emotion, this show was like an Olympic Games Ceremony. Harmonious and Luminous are useless comparing to this. Please, bring back it. 🙏🌎🔥

[@miamimickey1972]

I live 3 hours away and have been driving up once a month since they announced the end of this show. It has been a part of my Disney life and hate the idea that they are replacing it versus maybe adding new elements to the show. The music and the message is the right one for this park. I will be there on Sept 30th for sure.

Who's directing this? If you keep changing zoomed in camera angles in sync with the music changes then no one can appreciate that the show itself is synced with the music.

It's a shame because such good quality cameras are being used but the shots are not correct as the wrong angles are being used for the wrong parts of the show so you miss a lot of the little touches like the countries lighting up, the lasers and the torches around the lagoon etc and the zoomed out shot makes the show look a lot smaller than in person, hopefully it will get a better send of on the last night!

I came to this to relive Illuminations, a show I adored for nearly 20 years. The camerawork and (presumably) directing work on the first few minutes of this was so astonishingly bad that I bailed and watched it on a Disney fan site's KZbin page. In 4k, no less, not 720p. I mean, you guys only had 6 or 7,000 potential opportunities to get this filmed correctly. How disappointing.

[@carolinecordani5371]

I’ll be very sad to see IllumiNations go. With the exception of Fantasmic (which I don’t love), this is the last nighttime entertainment that was at Disney when I first went that is still around. I feel like next time I go, with IllumiNations gone, it won’t be the same Disney I grew up with, at least as far as night shows go. But, as Walt said, Disney was never meant to be a museum, and it will always change and grow. I cried when they retired Wishes, but Happily Ever After is absolutely incredible, so I have high hopes for Epcot Forever (I only wish it would stick around for longer than a year). As amazing as IllumiNations is, it’s definitely been there for a while and is frankly ready for a change. I’ll definitely miss it when it’s gone though, especially the soundtrack 💙💙💙

[@francisgallo2617]

I agree, James Hancock. Illuminations is my absolute favorite fireworks spectacular. The music is outstanding and I listen to it constantly (along with other park music). But the person filming this did a horrible job. Zooming in on barges unnecessarily, bouncing around and too much time zoomed in on the globe missing so many wonderful moments such as when the lights come on, on the pavillions in time with the music. You don't have to zoom in on a flame to see that the barge is shooting fire. I wish the whole thing had been done from a distance so you can see everything with just a short time zoomed in on the globe when nothing else is happening around it. Then we could have downloaded the video to keep so we can watch it anytime we miss it, which would be often. I have so many wonderful family moments involving this show. I can't believe it is going away. Sorry for the long comment.
