video recorded on October 22nd. The new lasers were implemented this week.
Last week, if anyone wants to keep track.
Exciting times. The show hasn't had so much love since 1999.

Really looking forward to seeing this in two weeks. Might have to make sure I get more than one viewing....

I really hope that they publicize that they're doing this to Reflections of Earth. After the whole Maesltrom and entertainment mess, EVERYONE could use some good press and excitement for EPCOT.
I mean, what else do we have? Soarin 3?

It's like there making it up to us after all the disappointment we have been out thru. I noticed the images show better on camera lately, I guess they made some adjustments.

For the Earth Barge?

Awesome, probably wish my whole day away and get some good use of the monorail

Yeah, looks like they did something with the contrast
Italy most likely has been improved as that is the area that they use most for rented space. There are many times that I've been there and it was closed for something. I think they do the desert party in there now along with the rentals. I've seen numerous wedding parties in there.

Hmm. I wonder if it's possible to do that without rehabbing the barge, as it hasn't been taken out of the show, lately, AFAIK.

Where is the "reserved" FastPass+ viewing area for Illuminations, anyway? I'll be there the first week of Dec, but the FPs for the viewing area aren't available. Not a big deal, I'm guessing, but was curious as to where they were placing the reserved areas.

Yeah, definitely don't waste a FP on IllumiNations when you can walk up to the lagoon about 15 mins before showtime and get a great vantage point.

That's pretty much what I figured, thanks!

As much of an EPCOT fan as I am, I actually never got a chance to ride the Cronkite version. My first visit to EPCOT Center was in the spring of 1986 a month or two before they switched the original narration to Walter's, and then my second visit wasn't until spring of 1995 after they'd switched to the Jeremy Irons version...
As for RoE, I'm glad it's getting the love and attention it needs. Watched the show three times on my trip a few weeks ago, and especially on our third night (Nov 5th) the Canada laser was looking excellent. (We were watching from the Canada steps, so the laser was fanning out right above us)

^^^ That's a good sign. Usually, I can only see the lasers that are being shot out "in front" of you, and the one behind you never really can be seen. Excellent.
Anyone have any new vids? ^_^

This is the most recent video I can find, although I'm not sure how recently it was recorded.
Don't get your hopes up before you watch this, though. You can't see a lot because the lasers are overpowered by the brightness of the pyro.
