  • I love Reflections of Earth!!!

  • I got there early and was against the railings

  • @ianuk2008

    one of the best vantage points at EPCOT

  • This is very similar to the Illuminati Bohemian Grove cult ritual. Watch the vid and you'll see what I mean.

  • @TheDopeSounds thats... interesting, shoulda known some sort of reference was at disney too, ill check.

  • They changed it for 2011 though. It was absolutely mind blowing.

  • It was amazing, but I wonder how your standing there with no one infront, all the way around the lake was packed from 5 onwards when we went, me and my brother left our spots and went back to our mum before and what was an empty space was absolutely full. worth it though!

  • @TheErinDotCom

    good question.

    there are areas where the Disney ushers rope off regions for emergency. i picked one of those to set up my camera that night.

  • @paulchiu When I went there the ushers actually let me and a couple friends of mine go over the rope.

  • @wissyissy

    they must like you guys!

  • @paulchiu Probably thought we were short and felt bad so they let us, lol!

  • saw this in 2009 its MAD loud though!

    cool though

  • saw this in 2009 its MAD loud though!

  • Our marching band is performing to this music this year, absolutely brilliant.

  • Saw this show at EPCOT in 2005. We loved it, it was a great end to a great day!

  • I honestly want to get married here. Not at the Magic Kingdom. But at Epcot. Just so at night me and my husband can watch this spectacular show together. I've had this dream since I first went to disney world, and I'm not a freshman in High School. Trust me. I'm doing this.

  • Awesome job. I feel like I'm at the park watching this. Can't wait to go again.

  • 2:40 little girl:thats it ok lets go. camera:NO YOU LITTLE IDIOT IM STAYING HERE

  • Terrific video! Going back this year, can't wait to see it again!

  • My uncle is head security for Epcot and me and my family would always go once every other week just to watch the fireworks and every time at 8:17 when those fireworks pop up it was like day time! It really felt like the sun was out and everything! Really loved this firework show! My fav.<3

  • My impression of this video is the same as when I saw it live last week- the music isn't loud enough! After hearing the music by itself on someone's Youtube vid, it really made me realize just how dramatic and uplifting the music to this show is, but it isn't really as high up in the soundboard mix during the show as it should be. Pity...

  • Great Fireworks!! Lol. We heard that music in the video we see when we arrive in the USA!!^^

  • Lovely really! I felt like I was there. Wonderful job.

  • Incredible and amazing!

  • what song are they singing????????

  • @repogirl98

    We go on & Promise

  • Why is it red and Stuff?

  • @CASVMedia

    the flames and some bursts are extremely difficult for even modern camera sensors. perhaps the dynamic range of the changes in colors is too fast for the camera to differentiate. i have tried now with 3 separate cameras over a few years trying to capture the truest colors, but without a full hollywood production and maybe some studio large sensor cameras, this is about the best effort i still share.

    cheers

  • Just went here for my 3rd time last week. I am now a senior in Highschool the last 2 times i was far younger. I still remember it as a kid being the best show i have ever seen and it still remains to this day. Walt Disneys idea was to create a perfect society with Epcot and to make a universally friendly place. Despite that being impossible he did create a place were familys can enjoy themselves and have the best times of there lives that will be memory's to live with till death.

  • Its always been a dream of mine to work at Disney. I dont care where in Disney, just somewhere in the parks. Does anybody know how I would go about getting a job there. Is the Disney College Program a good place to start.

  • @MrVolfan4life thats the BEST place to start, youll love it my friend

  • Its always been a dream of mine to work at Disney. I dont care where in Disney, just somewhere in the parks. Does anybody know how I would go about getting a job there. Is the Disney College Program a good place to start.

  • I just went to Disney in January and this is my uncle's favorite part so we saw this like 4 times, and the best place to watch is Italy.

  • How did you manage to carry that around the theme park all day?? Brilliant quality though.

    You sir are a YouTube legend

  • @Kristianh14

    2 backpacks

    and plenty of water and meal breaks during the day

    :-)

  • That camera has amazing quality!

  • @TheSprints2190 due to costs?? Disney is loaded they don't need to do that haha

  • would have been wonderful if it was in its entirety !!!

  • @zooktoby10

    there is an unedited version

    i'll post you the link through mail.

  • im gonna cry i miss this this is my fav part of disney no lie

  • Mic-Key has the key and tron is Nort Hee! Mouse is on the keyboard doing the work of the scrolly roll on the screen and T.V means T (Covenant and nail) Tov - Good!

  • Mic-Key has the key and tron is Nort Hee!

  • are you able to go see all of epcot fireworks and still get to magic kingdom before that show begins?

  • @KreyenZ

    you have about 35 minutes from when EPCOT fireworks end to when Magic Kingdom fireworks start.

    you have to remember that it is hard to exit EPCOT and enter Magic Kingdom before Wishes begin.

    It is probably better to see each on separate evenings considering you need at least 45 minutes before each show to establish a good viewing area/position.

  • @KreyenZ I agree with Paulchiu here, it would be very, VERY difficult to accomplish this. It's not impossible, but as soon as those last fireworks for Illuminations end you'll want to make a mad dash. You'll have to catch the monorails just right, cause the one that leaves Epcot will only go as far as the Transportation and Ticket center. Then you have to catch the other to MK. If you're going to be doing it soon here during the Holiday season, I say don't even try. The crowds will be insane.

  • thanks for sharing the video........i had a chance to see this for the very first time on my birthday!

  • Memories... I used to go here every year with my parents and see this show.

    Every single time, I was just in awe. It is so moving. Those were the days.

    I cry my eyes out when I see this because we pretty much stopped going to Disney World and now I'm grown up and in college. Things are so much more serious now. I miss the innocence and careless freedom of being a child.

  • I havent seen that show in 4 years. I bought the soundtrack and the memories it brings back gives me goosebumps. I cant wait to go back

  • @TheSprints2190 Oh no! How soon? We're going in 2 weeks. :-\

  • @Drumhead216

    It will still be there.

    Thats the main attraction.

    Trust me.

    It's magical.

  • I Saw This For The First Time In The Summer, I Loved it :) It is truely magical :) <33 xx

  • y not the whole show? time reasons?

  • @TheSprints2190 For god´s sake NO!

  • @arachanox01 about what

  • This is one of my favorites to see at WDW.

  • This video is absolutely amazing!!! I love the view, where are you filming from if you don't mind me asking?

    I miss WDW sooo much but hopefully our next visit will be our wedding, and hubby to be's first time there!! Can't wait. XD

  • @xMrsBumBleBeex

    I filmed near "Showcase Plaza", across the lake from World Showcase

    This year, i filmed again but from bridge between UK and France and again from the piers near Italy.

    Have a great time after your wedding!

  • They have this music for the portland pirates new years eve party

  • @TheSprints2190

    i hope not

    although i did record this show 4 more times this past month.

    will be posting the best over the nest few weeks...

  • This, Fantasmic!, and World of Color are the greatest showes created by Disney, and anyone on this planet.

  • i wish i could visit walt disney world someday. ive been sitting in front of my computer for hours just to google, watching videos on how beautiful WDW is. i will do anything, ANYTHING, to go to orlando someday and visit WDW. Someday, i will. Loves from Indonesia :).

  • BEAUUUUUTIIIIIIFUUUUUUUUL!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • You captured the color really well. Didn't catch all of my favorite parts, but I know you gotta pick and choose when file size is limited. Thanks.

  • @drawhog03

    thanks

    i have an unedited version posted recently.

    that is the entire 13 plus minutes with all the scenes

    please have a look..

  • I have probably seen this many times and I always appreciate it more and more every time I go to Disney. No offence or anything, but no video camera can take in all this show has. Still good job though.

  • I watch this show every weekend <3 it never gets old.

  • @punk3698

    wow!

  • thank so much for posting this,

    because the only time i saw this show,

    it was freezing and i don't remember most of it. :D

  • @tdwppp96

    you're welcome

    temperature at night at orlando does get really crazy sometimes!

  • @paulchiu yeah in winter but at night in summer its amost like a winters day but june / july is my fav time of year hear in orlando realy warm and i was at the norway part for 08/09 new year it was AWSOME

  • really appreciate you uploading this man. when i was younger this show was definitely one of my favorites, and it still is.

  • @BLAH555666

    glad you liked it!

  • i remember this vividly cause ive been 2 disney 8 times within a 5 yr period

  • You're welcome! :-)

  • @GQQFYJerry

    ok

  • God I miss Disney World. Nothing on this earth quite like it.  Hope I can go back soon.

  • I Saw This, That Was Absolutly One of The Most Wonderful Things I've Seen Ever . <3 I Love it. :)

  • my company does that show love it

  • oooooooo

  • i have seen it before. its really cool. we all were siting in Canada or France at the time i can't go all the back to Aug. 2009. we got from France to USA i think, idk.

  • @figuresktingprincss 2 songs are used. The first is over 7 minutes and is called Reflections of Earth Prolongue: Acceleration/.... In different parts. paulchiu gave the second, shorter song.

  • Brings back such great memories. My family and I go to Walt Disney World every year ever since 2005. Never missed a year in between then and now. In fact, we are going in 22 more days and I am so excited! I love being in Disney, the happiest place on earth! And every single year, we spend 10 to 12 nights at Port Orleans Resort Riverside and we love it so much! Thanks Walt for making my family and I very happy!:)

  • Where exactly are you located? At the front of the park between the two world showcase shops?

  • @figuresktingprincss

    not sure at what time you were watching, but the main song is:

    "We Go On" * Lyrics: Don Dorsey * Vocal Solo: Kellie Coffey

  • @paulchiu

    there are parts of the show, the first is Chaos, I dont know the middle, but the last is Promise and we go on ;)

  • si quieren ver algo bueno miren esto:

    hasiendo un pop shovit(hasiendo con s)y MsVenOm95 de unos perros muy graciosos..GRACIAS

  • Theirs actually a hidden mickey on where hawaii is suppose to be..didn't know that.

  • Incredible ... Epcot has the most amazing pyrotechnics display I have ever seen. The choreography is one of the seven wonders in my life ... a magnificent work of art.

  • this sucked

  • 2:45 "Okay that's it, let's go!"

    Sigh. 99% of the world sees absolutely no artistic meaning to this show (beyond lasers and fireworks) whatsoever.

  • @spaceye

    ok, easy up a bit. lol obviously the voice is a little kid.  And a kid who's been the the parks ALL day is probably ready to go!

  • Thank you for posting this, but I wish you would have warned us, that it is chopped up. You cut out some of the most moving parts of the show, in fact most of my favorites. just a little warning next time is all. It is just hard to enjoy the memory of it, when what i keep hearing does not sync up with what I remember.

  • @esergone

    you are like the 3rd person that wrote a comment about the editing.

    this is why i have another version now.

    unedited and in HD

    search for it within my account

  • Great Memories of My Life 2004 and 2005

  • I love Epcot. <3

  • the finale<3

  • Wow!!!

  • What is the name of the song playing at 5:00 in this video?

  • That's the title score, "reflections of Earth"

  • @paulchiu gz on the views! I would make some vids but just gave up on downloading sony vegas for free so I dunno what to do now...

  • @gamerelatedstuff

    did you try windows movie maker?

  • @paulchiu and also included in this is 'we go on' by Kellie Coffey

  • @yman4444 it is called millenium celebration played it for marching season 09-10

  • im in a marching band and we did the illuminations music for our show last year and we just went to disney togeather and watching the real disney show was amazing! (:

  • I love the noise the fireworks make at 5:40!!!! I <3 Illuminations!

  • Quiero volver!!!!!

  • ya know everybody goes all over "wishes" in magic as the ebst firework display ever... no way! illuminations is without a doubt the best ive ever seen and probaly will ever see!

  • i got see see the show from a little closed off section in front of the italy part it was sweet except for the posts sticking out of the water which made it hard to see

  • omg that show is amazong! i went with my school and we got to go in some special area it was sweet but there was poles in the water that made it hard to see = (

  • illuminations is really nice i dont like the globe part tho cant wait to see this again in july

  • @916chipndale If you don't like the globe, that's sort of the POINT of this, so go watch random explosive thingies at Magic Kingdom.

  • 2000 millenium there was awesome

  • Breathtaking. I couldn't help but tear up during this show, in a few months I will definitely catch it again!

  • i was just there in epcot 5 days ago and i didnt get to see it , my parents were tired and we were going into the parks the next day. i didnt get to see it my trip before ether , so its been like 2 years since ive seen illuminations. oh well ill be back there in 4 months

  • I too, worked in Epcot for a few months at The Living Seas with Nemo & Friends. Although I couldn't see it from where I was, I could hear it everynight. I too would often go on my days off to see this. This show is amazing. The video here is good, but in now way does the show it's real justice! Go see it in person, people! You won't be dissapointed =).

    Long Live Disney <3

  • 100% agree!

    paul

  • The music, the fireworks, it's sooooooo epic! I can't stop loving it!

  • I worked in Epcot for a semester in the Disney College Program and every night that I closed in World Showcase I got to listen to this. It's my favorite fireworks show of all time and I never got tired of it. I'd often go see it on my days off. I miss it!

  • @swverausc214 ucky U I love Disney World

  • One of my favourites at WDW. Amazing video quality.

    Thanks so much for sharing!

  • I absolutely love the music from this show! If you have time, check out what I've done with my Christmas lights to this piece. :-)

  • I saw this during the Millennium Celebration and it's probably the best firework show I've ever seen

  • i love the show. disney fireworks are always the best. i keep wondering if they have a fireworks company like zambelli do the shows or if they have there own fireworks

  • Where did you shoot this cause i see no people in your shot! It seems like n awesome vewing area. Is this behind the gift shop at the frnt of world showcase?

  • that's the area

    left of the gift shop and if you're there an hour before the show, you can get up your tripod.

    paul

  • kpk

  • Thankyou this is amazing

  • What's the song starting at 5:30??

    i really love that song

  • Gavin Greenaway's song

    "We Go On"  * Lyrics: Don Dorsey * Vocal Solo: Kellie Coffey

  • Busindre Reel from Hevia; Our Life form Uttara kuru; Tula from Cusco

  • I'm originally from Boston, but moved here two years ago. Bought annual passes for every theme park in the area....Including Busch! I live in Hunter's Creek and am literally 9 minutes away from WDW, 12 minutes from Universal and about 10 minutes from Sea World. Best decision ever! My wife and I frequently have dinner at Epcot after we get off work and have watched this show more times than I can count! By FAR the best night time show ever! I will NEVER tire of this! Good bleeping times indeed!

  • you fuckin nailed it man!

  • watching this in person makes you think how wonderful is earth

  • one can get overwhelmed in the moment watching this in person or the recording on a nice big screen. disney did a fantastic job making this production, we hope it last a long time.

  • Thanks for sharing it! Espectacular!!!

  • Wonderful video!

  • annie should play chopin there in orlando if she has not already!

    paul & william

  • Mi querido amigo y músico, es espectacular este video.GRACIAS por compartirlo.

    paul & william

  • goosebumps!(:

  • I'm about to upload the one i saw on Sunday night! (: the sound is off in the beginning I think but it's loud and a pretty good view

  • Good Job paulchiu! I was just there two days ago...this is the best show..better than the parades, and the best fireworks compared to the other parks! Epcot...has the most amazing fireworks!

  • This is Wonderful footage, of Walt Disney EPCOT Fireworks ,5 *****..Marc Jones..Los Angeles,U.S.A. (Vocalist)

  • I love it!

  • Beautiful!

  • awesome video!! aww i miss disney!! this show was so awesome!!

  • ii saw this in 2004 lool xx

  • I saw the Illuminations fireworks show this last summer like just a few days b4 the fourth of July and loved it (we were driving home on the 4th)

  • the july 4th edition is unique and very special...

  • Yeah. I wish I could have been there for that day. My mom and dad had to get back to work though :( lol.

  • themusic in this, is my marching bands show this year =]

    Relfections of Earth, Tapestry of Nations/Chaos, & We Go On

  • i love this show

    except the fact that they spend about 15 minutes focusing on the globe without any fireworks comin out and people far away that cant see the globe go " is the show over?"

  • yes they do

    the show is almost 16+ minutes long

    i edited out a lot of globe action here..

    we hope to record another with different lenses next year or if we are lucky, this christmas....

  • im in the seventh grade and im playing this for marching band extravaganza in 2 weeks omg this is so hard!

  • good luck ! :)

  • Man, no one does better at the art of presentation than Disney. These were the best choreographed fireworks I've ever seen by far. I'd like to go back to Epcot one day.

  • my favorite is fantasmic in hollywood studios!!!!! its the best one i think so

  • Why does this skip? IllumiNations is much londer than 10 minutes

  • original is about 14 minutes but i am limited to 10+ because of my Youtube account type.

    Sorry.

  • Ahh ok that makes sense

  • only Wishes at Magic Kingdom can rival this

  • We're playing this song for our marching band....

    It's easy music. Just really hard to march, so fast.

    I love the introduction.

  • I would LOVE to play that in our marching band.... I tried convincing our band majors but they didn't agree.... You're lucky. haha

  • Do you go to Carrollton?

  • one of the most EPIC shows on Earth

  • this was our field show last year!!! actually similar to the 2000 cadets XD

  • lol i gotta play that same song for our school bash the original too

  • i just got back from disney world 2 days ago and i love it to much ive been there 8 times and every show of fireworks like wishes and this one are just phenominal (: i <3 disney

  • I was there last September and loved them. We're going to WDW in December and are going to see the Christmas version of this show.

  • I love this fireworks show. it gets really bright in the end!

  • I wish you would go to Disneyland and film 'Magical' Fireworks show using this camera which by the way I Googled and no wonder it looks so good. Expensive!

  • Very nice camera you've got there. Incredibly sharp detail. Thanks.
