It has been played 18 times so far this week, giving it the #2 spot on the Top 25 Played Week playlist. Fortunately, we go on with the music of IllumiNations on the Jukebox where it continues to be played multiple times weekly. It will have to be an impressive show that replaces IllumiNations to please Disney fans and hopefully it will be. Sadly, after exactly 20 years of running almost every night at Epcot, IllumiNations is ending its run on Septemto make way for a new nighttime spectacular called Epcot Forever.

This gives it the #4 spot on our Top 25 Played Overall playlist. A hit and a technological marvel from the beginning, the show continues its run (although nearing the end of it) to this day! Shortly after the show celebrated its 10 th Anniversary, its soundtrack, including the prelude and postlude music, were added to the D-COT Jukebox in this, our feature track. There are no video effects, and only the barest of lighting effects, which can make this show feel quite a bit less "exciting" than its predecessor.On October 1, 1999, the show we now know as IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth made its debut at Epcot in Walt Disney World. However, though the actual fireworks are beautiful to see, IllumiNations fans may be sad to see that there aren't that many other special effects. Disney absolutely could have gone the cheapest way possible with Epcot Forever (like they did with the temporary Jungle Book show at Disney's Animal Kingdom), but they definitely invested in making this nighttime spectacular feel like a real spectacle in the pyrotechnic department. One thing that struck us almost immediately is the amount of high-level pyro that is used in this show, which is definitely a welcome sight in a temporary show. Plenty of high-level pyro, but not a lot of special effects The best we can figure is that this song is meant to "introduce" the future Epcot nighttime spectacular HarmoniUS, which will debut next year and focus on the magic of Disney music. But regardless of the reason, this song feels painfully out of place, in what is otherwise, a very solid show. However, for the finale, Disney strangely chose to use A Whole New World from Aladdin to close out this celebration of Epcot, which seems like an odd choice given that this song is not really associated with any Epcot attractions past or present. This is a pretty amazing lineup, and with several quotes from Walt Disney mixed in with some voiceover, this attraction definitely hit plenty of nostalgia marks.

This new show is meant to showcase the best of Epcot while celebrating its unique history, all with classic music and advanced pyrotechnics. Earlier this year Disney announced a limited-time nighttime spectacular, called “Epcot Forever,” which will feature classic Epcot themes.
