I really should leave. I have to be at work at 630 am

There's going to be a lot of footage. You probably won't miss anything.

They already took the huge sign out of the window, was hoping to grab a pic tonight.

Farewell...The torches last blow out...Only way to go....

 

[Tom Morrow]

I stayed at the bridge to cheer on a few barges, but unfortunately I have to get up early so I couldn’t wait for the rest. Still a nice final send off.

The era of the Millennium Celebration is almost over. The only thing left is the section at Future World that has the decorations flying above.

To Illuminations, the crew and all involved,

You changed my life.

You lead me to discover playing music.

You taught me about peace on earth.

You showed me the power of story telling.

You guided me to this site to learn about the magic of story telling.

You helped me find happiness when I thought there was none.

You will have a special place in my heart forever.

May Illuminations: Reflections of Earth's message go on. Rest easy.

Sincerely,

This!! All of this!

I'm so glad I got to be here in person and to meet some of you! It really was a wonderful energy tonight!!

It doesn't surprise me, but I always marvel at how fast Disney moves on from something. Tomorrow there won't be a trace of Illuminations left.

 

[Wespionage]

Goodbye forever!

 

[Captain Barbossa]

Still watching ResortTV1. They’re waiting for the blow off.

 

[kevlightyear]

They just did the burn off. I’m so grateful I could see the final showing and the final salute. And on my birthday no less. Epcot Forever tomorrow, then back to real life.

 

[KikoKea]

Beautiful show! It's going to be hard to top, for sure.

 

[Notes from Neverland]

Wow, huge blast of fire!

 

[disney4life2008]

Wasn't interested in going tonight but illuminations will also have a special place in my heart. But I'm looking forward to the interim and new show.

 

[cmarten]

Was the show truncated? When I end last year it had a different and longer ending.

Did you go during the holidays? If so then yes it has a special holiday ending. Other than that no it’s the same length

Was the show truncated? When I end last year it had a different and longer ending.

It seemed exactly the same as a normal show.

HUGE blowoff on RTV1! First for a Stream I think before tonight . Haven't seen that since around Epcot's 25th.

 

[brickbuilder711]

Wikipedia already has Illuminations: ROE under "former" shows.

Seems like there's always "that guy" that would do something like that. Everything is in past tense too...

 

[RobbinsDad]

I don’t cry much. End of the movies Rudy and Hoosiers. My grandmothers funeral. My first child’s birth. Onions. A few more times probably. Watching ROE tonight in YouTube (not tonight’s show but still).

Here’s to the greatest spectacle in WDW history. Others may top its effects or explosions, but it will never be matched in its artistry.

 

[Figments Friend]

It was nice seeing you guys!

FYI, imagination lounge closes at 6. I just checked the times now. I'll be back in Epcot tomorrow around 5ish so that's an option as well.

Same here!

Let's meet up around 5:30 tomorrow where we met up today in the Imagination Garden and take it from there.
Sound good?

And suddenly things turned ugly..
14:40 - 18:00 (warning: there is cursing) Woman in question can be seen at 07:38.

I think they are both in the wrong, though obviously one more so than the other. The video is by the lady who can be seen near the end of ResortTV1's stream saying she is going to security over it.
