Original name for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth

bobbyt6 · 11-08-2006, 07:08 PM

My Dad asked me this question on our recent trip, and I wasn't sure of the answer. What was the name given to the first laser/firework show in World Showcase? Was it also called Illuminations? (I didn't think it was)

I know someone here will know.

Thanks!

All you need to know can be found right here on this very website:

"Laserphonic Fantasy", the park's first lagoon show, opened on June 9, 1984. It ran until January 29, 1998, when it was replaced by "Illuminations." "Laserphonic Fantasy" featured music by Don Dorsey called the "Festival of Festivals," which was originally used for the opening of EPCOT in 1982.

Although it was the first lagoon show in Epcot, Laserphonic Fantasy" was the third version of World Showcase's nighttime shows. The first evening show was the "Carnival de Lumiere" which opened on October 23, 1982. "A New World Fantasy" followed in 1983 before "Laserphonic Fantasy" opened in June of the following year. On January 30, 1988, Epcot unveiled the first of many versions of "Illuminations." The nighttime water show continues today as "Illuminations: Reflections of Earth" in and above the World Showcase Lagoon.
