AMEN! Not in a million years could I get sick of it. When it is gone, it will be a sad day. Hopefully the next version will be an evolution of the current show.

I agree that the pyros themselves could use some upgrading. But overall, it's just such a great show. The score is simply amazing. And there's sometime about having it reflecting on the water that gives it an edge over Wishes to me. I think it feels less cramped than Wishes too, because while you might have people pretty close to your sides, pretty much everybody gets a front-row seat. I think there's just something about being gathered around the lagoon at nighttime, with your family and/or friends around you, knowing that there are people around the lagoon from other countries and watching a celebration of the world.... I think it's great

This is a great show. We love it. In fact we try to catch two or three times at every visit. It's a short walk from the BC. I would love to see a special on how much work and time goes into each show.

When we were staying at BC, we had the superb luck of staying on the 3rd floor in a two BR suite. Our balcony faced EPCOT, so I was able to watch it every night! It was great!

Well, the lasers are just another effect, not to mention that it works well with the pyro.
Especially when projected on SSE.

Yea but isn't most of the middle nothing but the lasers and globe?

For me, the first time was fun and nice because it was new and now we don't even bother doing it.
IMO, it's more of a hassle than it's worth to find a spot to watch, hold it for so long and then have someone crowd your view and space anyway. Just not worth it for us.

This is why we frequently get a late ADR at R&C. Not only do you get a great meal but Illuminations becomes a no hassle event.

Yeah my mother does this when she goes, but the key is she likes Illuminations enough.
We don't care for it, otherwise we would definitely do this to secure a spot.

I have heard that you cannot really do this anymore unless your resi is exactly duringROE because they put a time limit on how long you can stay at RC :shrug:

Yes it is. Adding quiet pyro (to go with the fountains) to the middle while keeping the lasers would be nice.

That would get me to watch again.
You have to dine within a 2 hour window of Illuminations which as long as you plan ahead it is not to hard.

I love Illuminations I usually see it a few times every trip. I agree that the score is pretty amazing. I'm really excited to see the holiday tag next week too!
The one I could do without is Fantasmic! If i see it once a year that's plenty for me (and I average 3 trips a year).

Yes, and it's very beautiful.
It beat out Remember, Dreams Come True!? WOW! :lol: Good news!!
No, I don't feel it is getting boring, but it would be nice if they added a parade to epcot again, like the tapestry.

^ Agreed. Add new floats to the ImagiNations parade, and it's a good fit. The lyrics are perfect.
