EPCOT IllumiNations - The ORIGINAL - 1988 - Part 2 of 4

This is the original version of IllumiNations, recorded back in March 1988, shortly after EPCOT began presenting it. For about the first half of this presentation (parts 2 and 3), each of the countries are highlighted that, at that time, were located around the World Showcase.

Yes, this video is dark, and zooming was not implemented while taping, so each of the countries are difficult to see, especially at the smaller size. Hopefully, you can still tell what's going on and get the gist and feel of Disney's first and ORIGINAL presentation of EPCOT's IllumiNations.

I remember sitting outside at the Rose and Crown Pub during these Illuminations when our kids were little. The wait staff at the pub lined up on the stairs and sandg "Rule Brittiana" during that part. They sang that song with pride. It made illuminations so special because of it!!

Does anyone know the piece that is used at 1:13, the minute the fireworks go off?
