Experience: Included torches, fire, fireworks, pyrotechnics, images, water and much more.The third time’s a charm? That’s what they say and Disney finally confirmed the news that the nostalgic nighttime spectacular EPCOT Forever is returning to Walt Disney World on April 3, 2023.Opening: October 1999, and been a popular event ever since.It is also very surprising to see just how close Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios actually are to each other. It is pretty cool to watch a fireworks show and have extra fireworks going on in the background. It could be the Star Wars fireworks that are now done nightly or the fireworks from the Fantasmic show that goes on each night. If you are standing out in the World Showcase, especially where you are facing the direction of Hollywood Studios, you are very likely to see fireworks from that park going on at the same time. I could make an amazing Christmas display that would put the Griswold’s to shame if I could have that many lights!Ģ – You could see multiple fireworks shows at once. That is a TON of lights and more than I would have guessed. The lights are turned on during the show to illuminate each of the pavilions during Illuminations one at a time.

This is extra special and definitely a great way to end your day during these beloved seasons.ģ – The lights that outline the countries would be long enough to stretch the length of the Golden Gate Bridge 6 times.Ĭrazy, right? The total length of the lights is around a full 26,000 feet of lights. There are variations and additions to the show during that time to help add to your holiday celebrations and enjoy themed fireworks for the holidays. If you happen to be visiting during the 4 th of July, Christmas or New Year’s then you actually get an extra treat. The globe does actually stand at 3 stories tall, which is exactly why it can’t clear any of the bridges in Epcot without the special bridge that was built to get it in place.Ĥ – There are variations to the show for holidays. It would make sense since it projects images for thousands of guests to see at once, but I just never realized it. I never realized just how tall the globe is that you see as part of the show. You may not get to see the globe and all effects of the show, but the fireworks alone are still amazing! You can also enjoy one of the fireworks cruises which is a great way to watch the fireworks without actually being around the World Showcase. You can watch Illuminations from Disney’s Boardwalk, which is a great location to watch from. These haven’t been as publicized as many of the Magic Kingdom firework viewing locations, but they definitely exist. Many guests don’t realize that there are other locations to watch Illuminations from than just within the park. It makes you appreciate the show more than we already did!Ħ – You don’t have to watch it from inside the park. That is crazy to think that these are the costs for only one show. This means that the cost per year for the show is around $9,125,000. It has been reported that to put on the show each evening it costs Disney around $25,000 per show.
