Disney is ending the Fireworks show at EPCOT - Illuminations

[VooDoo]

This is a direct Quote lifted straight from Lostepcot-com . ( Interesting read if you are interested in old epcot).

"Fireworks and Laser Shows
The first fireworks show was Carnival de Lumiere in October 1982. It was followed by New World Fantasy in 1983. In June 1984, Laserphonic Fantasy (also known simply as "Laserphonics") premiered. Laserphonics would last until IllumiNations premiered in January 1988 (presented by General Electric at the time).

IllumiNations would continue to be the name of the nighttime show, although it would go through a few different versions. To go with Disney World's 25th anniversary in 1996, IllumiNations 25 premiered. IllumiNations 25 would be shown until it switched to IllumiNations 98 in 1998. In 1999, it changed to IllumiNations 2000: Reflections of Earth. After the Millennium celebration, the show would remain the same but the name would lose the "2000" and just be IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. It is currently presented by Sylvania, a Siemens company."

Our first trip was March 99 and IllumiNations was very good, though not a patch on Reflections. A traditional fireworks to classical music show with a section , as said, where each country was illuminated in turn and a "hello from.." recording played from CMs of the country in their own language. Reflections was introduced later that year for The Millenium celebrations.

I've always got summat in me eye at the end of Flections. Dreading the last time I walk away from it this year.

[CABLECAR1974]

Sometime in '99. Reflections was introduced as part of the Millennium celebrations mid to late '99.
