So you need to decide how important it is to you to leave the park quickly and balance that against where your ideal or available viewing spot is. You will soon realize that up to 30,000 people will be leaving at the same time that you are. The first thing you need to do is decide how you are going to leave the park after Epcot closes when the final firework has left the sky. I will keep you updated.Īfter a day of experiencing the Epcot Rides you will be ready to watch the fireworks! Some things will remain exactly the same for Harmonious, but some things may be different. I wrote this about the Epcot Illuminations fireworks. How Do I Decide Where to View Epcot Fireworks? This means that every night Orlando International Airport has to be notified when Epcot Illuminations starts so that air traffic control can be advised. The FAA has to grant advance permission for any system using lasers outdoors.
For those of you who like Disney trivia here is an interesting one for you. Illuminations made use of lasers in the display. This was the part of the story which symbolized a new age and a new beginning. The globe then opened out, signaling the finale of pyrotechnics and fireworks. Not much was going on and usually I just wanted the fireworks to start again! I know that was very clever but this is the part of Illuminations was a little slow for me. The display uses almost 300 LED screens to project images depicting the earth from the dinosaurs to present day. Images were projected on to the globe to give the illusion of a floating earth. This was a 350,000 pound globe on a barge! Difficult to explain what that looked like but it was certainly unique and innovative. Then things became a little more calm with scenes evoking the nativity of the earth.Īfter this spectacular introduction the mood changed with a more sedate tempo and the beginning of the journey of the huge globe across the World Showcase Lagoon. The start of the Epcot Illuminations fireworks was used to represent the Big Bang and the creation of the Universe. Then a single firework shot across the World Showcase Lagoon from the United Kingdom Pavilion. What is the Story of Epcot Illuminations Reflections of Earth?Īfter what sometimes seems like a lot of anticipation the lights around Epcot went dim. We hope you enjoy our show tonight:Reflections of Earth”. And though each of us has our own individual stories to tell, a true adventure emerges when we bring them all together as one. An amazing story as old as time itself, but still being written. We’ve gathered here tonight around the fire as people of all lands have gathered for thousands and thousands of years before us… to share the light… and to share a story. On behalf of Walt Disney World, the place where dreams come true, we welcome all of you to Epcot and World Showcase. It really was one of the best Disney World fireworks displays and therefore many people were sad to hear that it was ending.
It was originally due to being in March 2020, however, we all know how that turned out ….Įpcot Illuminations was a unique blend of fireworks, music, lights and pyrotechnics. Illuminations Reflections of Earth used to play every night at Disney’s Epcot around the World Showcase Lagoon.Įpcot Illuminations will be replaced by the new show Harmonious, hopefully some time in 2021. Epcot Illuminations was for many years one of the highlights of a visit to this Disney World theme park.
