What I wouldn't give to see this again, especially the ending. The holiday tag was my favorite thing in all of Disney World. It reflects Walt's original vision for EPCOT's meaning.

Anyone who saw this, and loves the soundtrack, and still says this was the best. Then you are my friend and family. Everyone who stood around world showcase and watched this, we are connected. This is so important. Love you all x

This still makes me Bawl like a baby...Was a Cast Member for over 15yrs...from Entertainment as a dancer in the parades to management in Other departmnents...at one point worked at Epcot with Magic Music Days and watched this EVERY Night before going home...never got old...first thought about the many people from small towns or cities that didn't get to see this except maybe once or twice and how Lucky I was to see it every night...when the last note hit and it was like they unleashed every firework that had ever been made, it would literally shake your chest...I cried every night..Was such a wonderful experience and wouldn't trade anything for my time with the Company...Great Video!!

[@Volleydawg821]

I totally get it. I can get emotional just listening to the music. SO jealous you got to hear this every night.

[@MrSpadeofAce]

yea ur rly lucky, i have seen it only 1 time when i was there in 2015 ... i guess seeing it 1 time is better than not seeing/experiencing it at all. this video takes me back tho..... i am grateful for the person who put this video together . its like being there again. its sad that the show is getting replaced by a different one , in september of this year.. i hope the new show lives up to this one.

[@Darren1981]

One of my favourite all time soundtracks, and no firework display will compare to this ❤❤❤❤

[@MrSpadeofAce]

its the music, that makes this come to life. they did an amazing job .. sad to see it go, RIP illuminations Reflections of Earth. glad to have seen it. before it went away.

[@HiroshiKoto]

This never gets old to me it's such a spectacular beautiful fireworks show... Teaches us all how we all our people on this beautiful planet and share it together to make it more beautiful....thanks!

[@ajones363]

This presentation always reminds me of the amazing animals, plants, and sights that make up our planet and why it is so important that we protect them for future generations.

[@taylorshelton3267]

Seeing illuminations: Reflections of Earth during the holidays was even more magical than seeing it during the regular season because each nation was saying peace on earth and good will towards men in their own language which was pretty cool. I love Walt Disney world.

[@philagelio336]

It’s really too bad that Illuminations is ending, I remember seeing for the first time in November of 2000 as a very little kid. Then again, illuminations was only in its first year being shown at EPCOT at the time, hopefully the new show can create memorable childhoods for the next generation of Disney World goers.

[@mickeymouse4134]

Love that time lapse in beginning!! Epcot does look beautiful when the sun is setting!! 😄

[@WylieDave]

Best representation of Illuminations ever. Thank you for the hard work that went into getting this completed for those of us who, like you, understand the depth of what this video means.

[@gmitchell91]

This is absolutely the best video of this show that I have ever seen (And I have watched an embarrassing amount of videos containing this show) Took me completely back to being there and seeing it in person. Stunning work. I can't imagine how much time and effort this took in filming and editing to put it all together, but thank you SO much. I can't thank you enough for making this.

[@GabrielaRodrigues-su4hy]

I can't stop watching this. I miss this place, and this show. Reflections of Earth is the bestttt!

[@DrunkSnowWhite]

Why is everything about Epcot just so perfect?

[@supahdadd]

Because it's probably the last real, physical tie to Walt Disney, the man. Although it's not the "Community" that Walt envisioned, many of his philosophies live on in the park.

[@MultiFredo74]

As a Floridian, I've seen this live countless times and every time is better than the last, Breathtaking to say the least, Thank You Epcot and Disney Imagineers that make this come true every night

[@MiddleEarthMaster]

Finally after November 1st which means I can watch this video nightly until Christmas is over.

[@imtired1696]

Same ❤

[@travissmith2065]

One of the best videos of Illuminations I've seen. Still brings tears to my eyes to this day. Thank you, from a former cast member, for bringing back memories.

[@mollydtt]

Pretty much sums up my feelings, too. I loved seeing this live, but honestly, unless you can get up close and personal with the globe, you don't appreciate the show nearly as much. The music and the video together are perfect. This illuminations video is the best one on the web, in my opinion. I'm so glad I found it.

[@samuelengle7590]

Makes me want to go back to visit again.

[@mickeymouse4134]

Hot Dog!! What show! Those lasers and fireworks are beautiful!! What a way to end a day at Epcot! Beautiful! Spectacular!

[@saigegreewood1847]

i seen this fire works show many many many times yet it willi never get old.

[@imtired1696]

Don't know why it popped in my recommended again. But thank you. I needed it tonight. 😭

[@wrathchildf22]

Thank you Martin Smith for capturing this perfect edit! I have seen the show in person over 100 times, and you nailed it!

[@luuchoo93]

Epcot is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Keep it that way, please.

[@michaelklein2537]

Yes

[@MrSpadeofAce]

I wish i could go to Epcot again... its my favorite place on earth. :)

[@gabrielbollini4912]

Epcot is one of the best places in WDW. These show is popably the gratest and most exciting show. I LOVE EPCOT FOREVER!!!!

[@armodder3900]

Going to Disney used to be a bi-yearly family event for my family, and we used to stay right at the Boardwalk resort which has a shared entrance with Beach Club Resort to epcot so we could just walk to epcot via a path and entry point,and when Illuminations started we just stood on the bridge over the water and watched from the bridge right there at the boardwalk, from there you got a good view and you'd see people on party boats under the bridge watching as well, those were the best times . The one thing that kind of detracted from the event is the new soundtracks they use, back in 03' the calm part of the show had a female vocalizing in a european language which would pick up closer to the finale, which added a lot more atmosphere rather then the modern dramatic themes they have now.

[@aaronreece13]

Amazing video! By far the best Illuminations video on the internet!

[@anthonywolfe7865]

Thanks for including some the set up. Cool to see. Best firework show ever, not just at Disney!

[@ivaneba]

Everyone on earth should watch this video!

[@lilclerk]

That's one of my favorite quotes from anything in WDW.

[@MichaelSamuel]

This absolutely incredible..

[@DisneyTSC]

Cronkite....no words. just tears.

[@moonbunnychan]

I love the Christmas add on. It's fun to watch the stunned faces of the people watching it for the first time. It's the most fireworks I've ever seen in my life.

[@619chrisoriginal]

I cried as well.

[@alainmedina1056]

[@graphics2c]

Wow, Thanks for sharing Martin Smith's unbelievably incredible video edit which matches an equally awesome live multi-media presentation in EPCOT's World Showcase lagoon.

[@mickeymouse4134]

Spectacular!! 😃 This is amazing! Might wanna turn down your headphones at 19:08 Ha Ha! 🐭

[@imtired1696]

I miss it. 😫😫😫😫

[@DisneyTSC]

this video is incredible. the time lapse is amazing against the pre show music. well done.

[@tojoes]

Amazing video - blown away at the work that must have gone into it.... thanks for sharing! - I will share so everyone can see this!

[@charlesfidler1564]

Fantastic, thanks for putting this together. Looks great.

[@irrelevantslugnamedlilly38]

Those edits are incredible!

[@Just_Daz]

Liked and favourited. Best version of this by far. Excellent music and editing too :)

[@CLIFFLIX]

Fantastic video of a spectacular show. Thanks for all your hard work, I love it!

[@YukarioMashimato]

This is one of my favorites, behind Disney Dreams in Paris and World of Color in Disney California Adventure.

[@CLIFFLIX]

Fantastic job by Martin!

[@johns815]

I like your music on this video

[@DisneyTSC]

no actually, I mean Walter Cronkite. He does the Peace on Earth tag narration toward the end. Jim Cummings is just the intro.

[@alonzowicks9702]

fun show to see

[@d084466]

*sniffles* every. damn. time.

[@ryanchow2165]

Love the vid

[@cv03luka53]

I thought that, was watching the newer versions, the fireworks are not as loud or as bassy as the older versions

[@AndyMoranPhoto]

Anyone have any idea where the camera was at exactly 18:58 when the fireworks were shot from the edge of the lake? I'm taking photography in october and that's the exact angle that I would love to get while I'm there. Thanks to anyone who can help!

[@supahdadd]

Appears to be right at the center of the front of the lagoon, closest to SpaceShip Earth. I'm not sure, though, if that's a "reserved" area for handicapped/disabled guests, or VIP's, but, I can recall it being roped/chained off.

[@mateomoreno8359]

I have been to disney

[@KJT922010T]

I've seen it too many times, It gets boring after awhile.

[@chaoflaka8132]

1:14-1:18 gotta go fast!

[@bradleywright3935]

Killer.

[@MrDisneyWorldFan]

Great, WAY TOO MANY CAMERA CHANGES. MADE MY EYES DIZZY, AND I FELT SICK
