IllumiNations 2000

Pros: Amazing fireworks that go along with even more amazing music!
Cons: Have to get good seats at least 30 minutes before show

If someone were to ask me what my favorite attraction at Walt Disney World, I would have a tough time answering- there are so many great rides and shows that I love, as well as those attractions that offer such a complete nostalgic feeling for me that I ...

Pros: Awesome, fantastic, unlike anything I've seen.
Cons: Crowded.

I am reviewing IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth shown at Epcot each night. They have taken 200 out of the name but the show is the same.

Some background:

We have been to the Orlando area and theme parks a...

Pros: excellent use of fireworks and lights
Cons: crowded atmosphere

We went to Epcot, Disney World last December for a winter vacation. We had seen the Illuminations 20 ...

Pros: I think the music might have been nice.
Cons: The ashes, the crowds.

Everyone else seems to be raving about this attraction so it's up to me to be the sole dissenter. This was probably the worst experience I ever had at Disney (with the possible exception of when I was one and my parents were running and pushing me in my...

Pros: gorgeous colors, great fireworks
Cons: population issues, creative glitches

As I prepare to write this summary, I feel an impending sense of future unpopularity among the epinions crowd. I have noticed that Illuminations2000 is a most popular attraction at Walt Disney World. Though I wouldn't argue that this is a beautiful...

Pros: Fantastic Music perfectly coordinated with lasers, fireworks and pyrotechnics.
Cons: Too much smoke.

Illuminations is certainly one of Disney’s most popular and raved about nighttime attractions. I have seen all three of the nighttime shows: Wishes in Magic Kingdom, Fantasmic! In Disney Studios and Illuminations in EPCOT. I must admit that I am not ...

Pros: A great show celebrating Mother Earth.
Cons: You have to spend a whole day at Epcot to see it.

I was in a crappy mood by the time IllumiNations 2000 rolled around at 9:00 PM. Epcot hadn't been anything like I expected, I hadn't learned a single thing in an entire day of seeing everything in the park, and I was irritated from tripping over so many...

Pros: Masterpiece of fireworks, water, light, and music show.
Cons: You may want to come back and watch it for a 2nd, 3rd, ...100th time

Each year Epcot's Imagineering team, together with General Electric, creates one of Disney's most mesmerizing fireworks displays. Year after year, with technological improvements, creativity, and more magic; Disney again astonishes guests from around...

Pros: Terrific Visual & Aural Feast
Cons: Must stake your set out EARLY

OK - so I don't get any creativity points in my review title - but I could not resist.

This show is magnificent. I have always enjoyed Illuminations, but felt they were just so-so. The newest edition however takes advantage of all of...

Pros: visual and audio were dynamic
Cons: rain could stop the show

It had rained off and on during our day at Epcot. It was getting closer to the IllumiNations 2000 show. We were tried. We found a place to sit down and rested. Our spot was directly across the lagoon from the American Adventure. The sky was clearing...

Pros: spectacular show, a great end to any day
Cons: great viewing spaces are sometimes hard to get

I have seen IllumiNations about 5 or 6 times and it was incredible each time. It is shown every night at Epcot when it gets dark...I think the time changes during the course of the year. Basically, it is the last thing that goes on before the park is...

Pros: Great Shows
Cons: get to the area early

The two shows are excellent! But there are some differences.
Fantasmic is located in MGM Studios the arena is located right next to tower of terror. The stadium is huge! It holds 10,000 people. But it fills up FAST!!!! In order to get a seat get...

Pros: This is Disney's best work
Cons: Very crowded and the wrong place means you can't see

This performance is what you dreamed about when you were a kid at the fourth of July fireworks performance. You wanted a lot of fireworks and you wanted them now. Here is your chance to fulfill that dream as this performance overwhelms any other endeavor...

Pros: Many good viewing locations
Cons: Tends to get very crowded

One of the best firework nighttime shows in all of Disney World! Illuminations has been going on in one form or another for many years each night at EPCOT. The show takes place in the lagoon outlined by the World Showcase. It is the perfect ending to ...

Pros: Fantastic! The best fireworks display in all of Disney World. Best I've seen anywhere.
Cons: Nada. Unless it's windy.

I am a yearly pass holder at Walt Disney World. My family and I go to Disney at least once a month a ...
