Current Discussion
Today's discussion is Illuminations: Reflections Of Earth the nightly show at Epcot in WDW. Held on the World Showcase lagoon every night at 9:00PM, Illuminations lights up the night sky with fireworks, fire, lasers and fountians. The show is divided into 3 parts:
- Chaos
- Order
- Meaning
Let's go through this section by section, with pictures.
Chaos
The show starts off with Jim Cummings (voice of Tigger, and many other Disney characters) welcoming us to the show with a quick narration.
"Good evening and welcome. 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. An amazing story, as old as time itself, but still being written. And though each of us has our own individual stories to tell, a true adventure emerges... when we bring them all together as one. I hope you enjoy our story tonight. Reflections Of Earth."
After he's done, he "blows out" all the torches and lights around the lagoon. Then, a drumbeat starts. It gets faster and faster and once it hits the peak, a comet streaks across the lagoon, and explodes, symbolising the big bang.
The fire barge in the middle flares up (as of right now, the barge is out of order) shooting flames high into the night sky.
Fireworks shoot off with the flames creating a smokescreen, yet you can still see the FX.
