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 "Promise" 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. 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.

I worked in EPCOT for a year for my CP, and nearly every night I would do crowd control for this show. It's been five years since I've last seen the show, and I can still anticipate every firework launching.

It's been 13 years for me since I was CP at HISTA and I still remember Jim Cummings words in the intro (and every firework cue and color). I worked on New Year's 2002 and can't be thankful enough to my coworkers, who knowing I wanted to see the New Year firework show ran the theater while I did the exit just so I could see it.

it's really great; we live in Orlando and go there often; no matter how many times we've seen the (same) fireworks, still being touched and feel the power.

I saw this 3 weeks ago. It was good. Half an hour after it was over, something exploded. I wanted to see what happened, but some of the crew told me not to worry about it and please leave the park calm. I knew something blew up, but what was it?
@cagyeman10 жыл бұрын
Often times if the cpu fails to launch a firework out of its pod or it just doesn't go off for some reason, they still have to blow them off after the show. They don't typical reuse fireworks from old shows. (source-I used to work there)
