Epcot IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth Fireworks Show - Walt Disney World

I have been to Epcot quite a few times and have never stayed late enough to see this show but this time I made it a point to see it and I'm glad I did. Having never seen it before I didn't know the best spot to sit but had heard you can see it from anywhere around the lake. We chose this spot and it turned out to be pretty good. For filming in the dark like this the video actually came out better than I thought it would. Except for a couple blurry moments and the illumination on the floating Earth Globe not showing to well on video the show was fantastic. Much better in person of course! Filmed on February 23, 2011
Here is a little about the show:
The Story of llumiNations
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth at Epcot tells the story of our planet in 3 unforgettable acts.
•Act 1: Chaos - Bear witness to the explosion at the dawn of time that brings about the creation of Earth, where you are invited to observe the Inferno Barge, a liquid-propane mechanism launching balls of fire 60 feet into the air.
•Act 2: Order - Behold the glowing Earth Globe as it glides peacefully to the center of the lagoon, illuminated with-and celebrating-the famous faces and achievements of our time.
•Act 3: Meaning - During this final act, the Earth Globe blossoms to reveal a torch and the glow of a thousand fireworks and laserlights that fill the night sky in a shimmering kaleidoscope of color and sound, propelling us into the future.

This is my favorite show out of all the parks. I make sure I see it EVERY time I'm in Epcot

@my35Xvision Thanks for your comment :-) It is a very nice showing and better to see in person of course but this is the next best thing if you can't get to Epcot. What surprised me here is the ducks that are swimming in the water throughout the show. You can see them in the reflections of the water while it is going and I can get over that they don't get scared and fly away. They would also come up on shore and want to be fed by the people.

@sonicxlc123 Glad you enjoyed :-) I loved this show and can't wait to go back and see it again sometime. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment.

The show was quite spectacular...and I think Chris it was really well worth your effort.. .. The moving globe was quite an effect to watch..never seen such a thing..The reflection of the globe on the water when it moves is breathtaking..There would have been a lot of effort made into the creation of this..just amazing...Thanks for sharing this unusual fireworks display with us :)

I'm so excited to be going in April, and I will be seeing this fireworks display! Haven't seen it since I was 7 years old.

[@Acecombatgamer]

that was THE BEST fireworks show i've ever been to

[@AdventureAwaits83]

@lmmsl Your welcome Menu! It was such a nice show I'm so glad that I filmed it to remember. I had passed a couple times on this show before as I visited EPCOT so I wanted to finally see it this year. Glad you enjoyed the video :-)

[@AdventureAwaits83]

@uncledave10 Thanks Dave.. The Magic Kingdom has some great fireworks also but I was to close to the castle to film them because that is where we set up to watch the electric parade. Next time around to Disney I will get those at the Magic Kingdom :-) Thanks for watching!

[@my35Xvision]

Great video, great show. It is very impressive, reflections in water are stunning and information that you provided is very interesting. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@AdventureAwaits83]

@Cheerio753 Thanks Ryan, This was my first time filming in the dark so I was just as surprised at how well the camera filmed the show :-) Glad you enjoyed.. Trying to upload the parade tonight and that will take even longer than this one did, 9 hours.

[@AdventureAwaits83]

I agree, perfect place!

[@georgewood2396]

[@NaturesFairy]

[@jerseygrl0627]

I can't wait! im coming here for my sweet 16 in june !

[@seahue]

Intense! I didn't expect that globe...I've never seen anything quite like that before:D It looked like you were wishing you had an extra wide angle lens at one point...you know it's amazing when you wish you had a giant lens:D I've only been there during the daytime so it was nice to see a night show. Thanks for sharing:D

[@Cheerio753]

You have such a fantastic camera! The video looks great and your right front and center! Perfect! Thanks for the upload Chris! I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to your next parade video! :D

[@AdventureAwaits83]

@NaturesFairy Thank You! A little long I know to watch but it is an impressive show to see.

[@AdventureAwaits83]

Thanks for the info... Next year we will be going to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom so it may be a couple years before I get back to EPCOT.

[@IUMuscGrad]

As far as I know this is the same show they've had since 2000. With maybe a couple minor changes. It's been the same since I first saw it in 2007 though.

[@uncledave10]

Once you watch these firworks you are spoiled for any other , Great work Chris :o) T/U

[@AdventureAwaits83]

@seahue Same for me, I have been to Epcot three times before but were only there during the day and have never seen the fireworks show before. I really didn't know what to expect but heard it was a great show. I have never filmed anything at night before either so I didn't know what to expect or how it would come out. I wish the video that was being played on the globe would of come out better though and that the people around me weren't talking so much.. All in all it was a great show :-)

[@AdventureAwaits83]

@KoolitsKitKat Hey, now that is cool.....Neat to hear things like this, glad you enjoyed Disney and EPCOT :-)

[@AdventureAwaits83]

I have only seen it once myself but won't miss it whenever I visit EPCOT again. Do they ever change it from year to year at all in any way?

[@jerseygrl0627]

@MoviesMusicNature Thank you!

[@AdventureAwaits83]

Have a great time when you get to Disney in April :-)

[@AdventureAwaits83]

@jerseygrl0627 Enjoy your Birthday at Disney! Great way to celebrate!!
