http://www.attractionchecklist.com - Let's head to Epcot to bid a fond farewell to IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth! Recorded on August 17, 2019. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. It is time for Attraction Checklist to visit EPCOT in Walt Disney World and bid a fond farewell to the nighttime spectacular knows as IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. Before IllumiNations ended, the guide map described the show by saying: The World Showcase Promenade comes alive nightly with the brilliance and splendor of music, lights, lasers, water fountains and custom pyrotechnics in our signature nighttime spectacular, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. Since this was a show there were no height or age requirements and FastPass+ was available. Before we gather around the fire one last time, here are 5 fast facts about IllumiNations. 1. IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth debate at EPCOT in Walt Disney World on September 22, 1999. This show was a revamped version of the previous IllumiNations shows that was created for the year 2000 Millennium celebration. When it debuted it was called IllumiNations 2000: Reflections of Earth. The show proved to be so popular that after the Millennium Celebration ended, the show continued, dropping the 2000 from its official name. 2. To drive the Millennium Celebration theme home, World Showcase Lagoon was surrounded by 19 torches representing the first 19 centuries of the common era. At the end of the show, the iconic globe opened and revealed a 20th torch for the 20th century. 3. The show’s signature globe was over 3 stories high and was the world’s first spherical video display system. 4. The control booth for the show is located above the Mexico Pavilion in World Showcase. The show uses more than 65 computers scattered around the park on 40 separate locations. 5. On April 9, 2019, the Disney Park Blog announced that after 20 years, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth would close to make way for new shows. The show had its final performance on September 30, 2019. Now it’s time to blow out the torches one last time. I’ll give you my thoughts after the show audio. This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we enjoy, for the last time, EPCOT’S IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth!

Disneyland has loads of history, obviously. Sometimes, we need to take a step back and check out those other Disney Parks out in the world that have been churning out great entertainment for decades as well. Tonight, Jeremy from SpectroRadio comes in to talk to us about ... The Music of The Millennium Celebration But first ... We had an email issue that killed our email, so if you wrote in and didn't hear back, once again the email gremlins are to blame. We also chat about our 100th episode live broadcast and all the details that we know about that, which isn't much, but we do give the location ... Our friend Jeremy from SpectroRadio starts his segment on the Millennium Celebration that took place in Walt Disney World in the year 2000. Normally, Jeremy's segments are shorter than this, but in building his history show, he needed much more time to do this amazing celebration any amount of justice. And Jeremy doesn't disappoint, diving deep into the origin story of this celebration - all centered around the music and how that all came together. It was a really great show, and something that we were all excited to listen to. Then we do our Fact of the Show and we are gone. See you in the Parks!

WEDway Radio - Walt Disney World and Disneyland Examined with some Disney History
This week on WEDway Radio Matt and Nate compete our 40 Years of Magic series by discussing the 21st century. We believe one of the most prevalent themes of the past 12 years at Walt Disney World is 'Celebrations,' and we discuss some of the more memorable celebrations; The Millennium Celebration, 100 Years of Magic, The Happiest Celebration on Earth and The Year(s) of a Million Dreams. Disney also created a different type of "experiential" resort with The Animal Kingdom Lodge. In addition to celebrations there were also technological advancements to attractions as with Toy Story Mania. Finally, we discuss some attractions and how we lost some of our favorite rides and attractions (Journey into Imagination) and some refurbishments that we liked (Haunted Mansion).0 We are both happy and sad to present this episode as it ends out 40 Years of Magic celebration. We hope you've enjoyed it as much we have enjoyed making it.
