(NOTE: Before we continue our Disney adventure, I need to report to you all yesterday's biopsy results. As you know I had a "suspect" lymph node removed a week and a 1/2 ago. The report came back showing NO cancer (benign) - was a fatty tumor! Hurray and thank you all for your prayers and concerns. Now on with the show!)





Disney World

Epcot - Part Two


After having dinner at The Coral Reef restaurant, we walked back to the World Showcase Lagoon to get ready for IllumiNations. The barge above houses a metal earth that serves as the centerpiece for the fireworks extravaganza - IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.



Featuring breathtaking fireworks, brilliant bursts of fire, laserlight effects, dramatic fountain barges, a stirring musical score and the world's first spherical video display system—the 350,0000-pound Earth Globe—IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth is an inspirational nighttime spectacular.





Just before 9 PM the flames ignite around The World Showcase Lagoon.



IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth at Epcot tells the story of our planet in three unforgettable acts.




Act 1: Chaos — Bear witness to the explosion at the dawn of time that brings about the creation of Earth, where you are invited to observe the Inferno Barge, a liquid-propane mechanism launching balls of fire 60 feet into the air.






Act 2: Order — Behold the glowing Earth Globe as it glides peacefully to the center of the lagoon, illuminated with—and celebrating—the famous faces and achievements of our time.



Act 3: Meaning — During this final act, the Earth Globe blossoms to reveal a torch and the glow of a thousand fireworks and laserlights that fill the night sky in a shimmering kaleidoscope of color and sound, propelling us into the future.





This was a most inspiring program. We crawled into our beds around 10:30 PM with many wonderful images of the events of the day.




Tomorrow - LOST!
