BREAKING: Illuminations show at Epcot will be replaced in 2019
“IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” will be ending in the summer of 2019 and be immediately replaced by a new show, Disney has officially announced.
The nighttime show on the World Showcase Lagoon has been a staple at Epcot for the past 20 years, debuting in October 1999 as part of the Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration.
As regular readers know, Thomas Smith, Editorial Content Director of Disney Parks wrote on the Disney Parks Blog, “we’ve got big plans for our multi-year transformation of Epcot, with new experiences that will “Wow!” guests while keeping true to the original vision of the park. And the all-new nighttime fireworks spectacular coming to Epcot’s World Showcase Lagoon will be part of the park’s exciting evolution.”
The new show joins a number of new attractions and experiences coming to Epcot, including the “Guardians of the Galaxy” roller coaster attraction, a “Ratatouille”-inspired attraction in World Showcase, a new space-themed table-service restaurant adjacent to Mission: SPACE and a new restaurant in Japan.
