I always felt like the globe was too small and the resolution too poor to make out anything clearly.

You must be watching from a lousy vantage point. In front of the Canada pavilion the video is quite clear.

It's always been the highlight of all my trips as well. Made a point to see it from opposite ends of the lagoon this past trip. One time, the globe lost video for a couple minutes. It definitely wasn't as spectacular as it was when I went last August. I really hope they do what they can to send it off in proper fashion instead of letting it whimper off into the sunset. I feel like Wishes fans got a great finale. Hoping we get the same

Let's hope for one Heck of a Finale on the last night...

Seeing it for the last time in april, wil be sad but its time to change it. I have faith the replacement will be great though.

Kind of off topic, but why is this thread not listed in the list of threads for this section?

I know this is still to soon but it sure is my last, it’s the show that had me hooked on Epcot and got fascinated with all the Disney shop operations. Who else has taken a whole new interest in Disney nighttime shows because of ROE, I’ve also taken a fascination to these types of show elsewhere as well as pyrotechnics. I sure have and it seems like it’s sparked many other great shows thruout all the parks. The last question is will you or were you able to hold it together seeing this show for the last time?

It’s kind of funny that I’m going to be walking out of Here tonight with some much needed and exiting news about Epcot. This shows that they may very well respect Epcot’s soul dream and original image despite the changes and additions.

I can't hold it together at Illuminations even if I would see it another thousand times.

I have no idea how I am possibly going to cope with my last viewing. :'(

I have a handful of viewings left. In fact, it is the specific purpose of my next trip. I will however not make ROE's last performance my last viewing. EPCOT is a personal love, not a communal one, I don't need public sing-a-longs and Comic-con-like gatherings.

Only one way to say farewell........

This, I fear, is what will kill me. :'(

(Well that, or somebody ruining my final show with drunk antics, endless yapping in my ear, loud chanting and dancing along, or whatever new and novel way to lessen my experience they can come up with this time)

I've never seen Martin look so sad before.

Looking at the photo made me feel sad. Slight bottom lip wobble.

And I’ve just listened to Promise .....

Put the two together and we have a tear jerker of epic proportions.

 

[nickys]

I’m thinking maybe it’s just as well I won’t be back before it finishes. I don’t think I would make it through it without sobbing.

So I’ll watch the live stream of it with a glass of wine. And sob in private.

Loved IllumiNations , loved Wishes, have a love/hate relationship with Happily Ever After, wonder if this new show will be the same.

My interest in Illuminations was the catalyst for this website. It has definitely been a big part of my Disney life.

Was this before WDWMAGIC.com ?

If I remember correctly wasn't this website originally Disney.force9.co.uk ?

 

["El Gran Magnifico"]

I trust @marni1971 is working on one hell of a tribute video. Looking forward to seeing it.

 

[EvilChameleon]

Illuminations holds a special place in our hearts. We've had such wonderful times enjoying the show. But it is good for things to change. Before last December, we hadn't seen the show for many years. Our memories were enough. Once we heard that the show is ending, we decided to see it a few more times, including one final time in a couple of weeks. And that'll be good. Our memories of the show will be better than even these last few times seeing it. And with two new shows coming, we'll have opportunities to create new memories that are unique to each of those new shows.

We're scheduled to be back in the world in late September. Maybe there will be "design difficulties" and the new rollout will be postponed till later in the fall. Just hoping...
