Breathtaking, words can't describe how good this firework show is.

I NEVER THOUGHT THERE COULD BE FIREWORKS OF SUCH A QUALITY AS TO EMOTIONALLY CHOKE ME UP THE WAY THIS ONE DID. LOVED IT SO MUCH, I BOUGHT THE SOUNDTRACK. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE THE SOUNDTRACK, LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE WORDS OF THE SONG "WE GO ON". IT DESCRIBES SO MANY THINGS, FROM THE LOVE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN TO MAN'S INCREDIBLE DRIVE TO SURVIVE AGAINST ALL ODDS.

This is off the charts. It could easily rate a 5.0 or more. Disney at it's finest. Buy the soundtrack and play it at home any time you need a lift.

If you haven't seen this, you don't know what you're missing! This is absolutely one of the finest shows that Disney has to offer. You won't see ANYTHING like this anywhere else.

Stellar video graphics, lasers, and pyrotechnics. The soundtrack is full of life. This is a true Disney marvel that should be viewed by everyone. It shows unity and world peace in addition to some of the most beautiful fireworks arround.

User ID: TIGGERLOVER91   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (11/9/2003)
This show is SPECTACULAR and what an AWESOME way to end a day at EPCOT. Rain or shine (or moonlight actually) I'm sticking around for this show!

User ID: criggin   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (11/7/2003)
I have seen many firework spectacles put on by Disney and other top rated companies, and I have to say this ranks number 1!

User ID: WorldShowcaseCouple   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (10/21/2003)
The best fireworks and musical extravaganza we have ever witnessed. You will be hypnotized from beginning to end!

I have seen Reflections of Earth more times than I can count, and it is my absolute favorite thing in WDW. It's a brilliant show.

User ID: shawnone   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/20/2003)
found the love of my life a disney durring the disney college program. illunminations was are favorite part of disney. a special place, time, and show we called our own. had to have seen the show 25-30 times, usualy back to back, and it never got old or boring. an amzing show. a show that has fire works worked into music and lighting makes this show one of a kind. a rating of 4 willl never come close to how awesome this show is. DEF recommed seeing it.

User ID: captain_hook231   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/5/2003)
Perfect show, synchronization was amazing. i watched them setting up the fireworks one day it was pretty cool. The show was awesome especially when the rounds shoot out of the tubes you hear this cool thump sound

User ID: thumpersgirl85   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/6/2003)
What a spectacle. I've never experienced anything like it. Find a good spot and stay there. also get there early.

User ID: tiff7   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: Unrated (6/2/2003)
If u loved the music as much as me, buy the IllumiNations CD!!!! It's great! Everytime I hear it, it brings me back to when I was there last time. I luv Epcot! :) I feel like I'm there now!

User ID: miamimickey72   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/30/2003)
I end my nights at epcot everytime im in Disney. Even when at another park..I end it at Epcot. RoE is unreal. New years extended version of this show is out of this world. I am going to see the 4th of july version of RoE and will report on that.

User ID: buchananrw   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/20/2003)

I love IllumiNations! The music is great & the fireworks are great also! I love Epcot-in fact it's my 2nd home! I'd go there all the time if I could. (I have college starting in the fall) I hope to go back soon & see it again! I have the song on CD & I love the music-makes you feel like you're there watching it! I wish I was there right now!

Just when you thought Disney was perfect... they go and outdue themselves!!!

User ID: Mufasa_AC   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (5/22/2002)
one of the best attractions in all of Disney World

User ID: tmarrone   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (2/22/2002)
Good effects; but prefer the score from the original. The new music has no staying power, unlike Gershwin...

User ID: tinkerbellfly   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/25/2001)
I always look forward to seeing fireworks at Epcot. This time it was spectacular! A DO NOT MISS event!!!!

User ID: mcadambl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/22/2001)
Have watched all of the Illumination Shows. Illuminations 2000 is by far the very best, it gives me goose bumps every time I see it!!!

User ID: ray   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/10/2001)
ONLY DISNEY CAN PULL THIS ONE OFF, THE EAW SOUND SYSTEM IS SOMTHING TO BE HEARD!

User ID: disnaholics   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/17/2001)
best disney show i have ever seen. blew us away!!!!!!

User ID: RosyGaye   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/21/2001)
Such SPECTACULAR fireworks should and will never EVER be forgotten. The music was extraordinary and makes me smile, laugh and even cry when I listen to it on my CD. I could go on an on but will keep it brief:-)

User ID: bgkg66   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/13/2001)
This is the best light and fireworks show I have ever seen. A real class act!

User ID: NSBcandlelighter   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (12/21/2000)
As a Candlelight performer, I can say Illuminations is a beautiful spectacular show! Good Job Disney! Should be a nightly thing all year, every year!

Disney entertainment at its best!

User ID: Q_of_hearts   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/3/2000)
One word - breathtaking...

User ID: disney guy2   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/20/2000)
This is the best pyrotechnic show in florida period. The combination of fireworks,lights,lasers and a gigantic inferno barge form an unfrogettable show.I especially like the music by Gavin Greenway. My favorite spot is in front of the old odyssey restaraunt.I was impressed with the Celebration part of the show. But dont leave out the finale. The Finale is a continous barrage of bright white pearls, maybe 400 fireworks in a matter of 15 seconds are ignited. I also like the floating globe and how it opened up during the show. On a scale of 1-10, Reflections Of Earth is a definite 11!This fireworks show really makes Islands Of Adventure's show a back yard fireworks presentation.

User ID: schroder645   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/17/2000)
it was the best fireworks show that i have seen, and i loved the music. i wish i could go back.

User ID: janetlynch3   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/16/2000)
It will make you feel magical.

User ID: philjcksn   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (6/18/2000)
great celebration attraction

User ID: TrebGirl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (6/5/2000)
Brilliant, beautiful, and extremely sprited. The traditional calssical music pieces that usually accompanies Illuminations is replaced with a wonderful energetic new 10 minute score. Lights and lazers and fireworks are artistically used to tell the story of Humanity over the past 2000 years.

User ID: nick_uk   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/24/2000)
WOW!

User ID: hargjamb   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/24/2000)
We went to WDW in February, and this was by far my favorite night show.

User ID: RPK4444   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/13/2000)
Best display yet!! Do not miss.

User ID: dwbazemore   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/1/2000)
I am not sure if my vote should count or not. My wife and I were at EPCOT on New Years Eve and everything was perfect for that night. Over all however the show was alot better, brighter and louder than the old Illuminations. We were also there this past September and the old globe that was floated out into the lake everyday was far beyond worn out! GREAT JOB guys!

User ID: srolandelli   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/20/2000)
Not-to-be-missed. I'd choose this over WDW's "Fantasmic".

User ID: TPA_RickWest   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/6/2000)
Very well done and very majestic. Hats off to Don Dorsey, who directed the show and composer Gavin Greenaway, who composed, produced and conducted the music for the show. Definitely worthy of Epcot's Millennium Celebration!
