Epcot - Illuminations

Hurry, only a few days left.


Red Shells After Sunset

 

From Japan, on the ground, far enough back to not be blocked by people at the rail.


IllumiNating Japan

 

Same night, same place, different time.


Japanese Archers

 

Much like Generalissimo Francisco Franco, IllumiNations is still dead.


Still Gone

 

I miss this and the place it used to be.


Missing x 2

 

Still missing it - and Disney fireworks in general.


Pretty Colors

 

I found a pretty nice 4K video of IllumiNations on YouTube.


Blue Fountains

 

This may be that last of my shots from Japan (for now).


IllumiNated Lagoon

 

No fireworks, but a shot of the centerpiece of the show. Taken while waiting for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to start one of their Eat to the Beat shows.


EarthVision

 

It's raining fireworks (but fortunately not shell fragments).


Fireworks Keep Falling On My Head

 

Will Luminous be a resurrection of IllumiNations? We'll have to wait and find out. Meanwhile, here's another shot of the show that stuck around for 20 years.


Blast from the Past

 

I think the trees at Disney parks are capable of moving right into your shot.


In the Red

 

This looks a lot like post 53 above, but it's from Canada instead of wherever I took the other shot.


Shooting Stars

 

Don't you just hate it when someone stands in front of you and shoots fireworks out of their head and shoulders?


The IllumiNated Man

 

Queue Deep Purple: "Smoke on the water".


Where There's Smoke...

 

I took this shot five seconds before the Shooting Start photo above. It's amazing how much difference there is.


Fireworks For All Nations

 

Reminiscing about IllumiNations: When to laugh, when to cry, when to sing, when to nap.


The Crowd Goes Mild
