Illuminations: Reflections of Earth – New Lasers & Narration for Holiday Tag – #Epcot #WDW

Jason @disneygeek.com

In December I noticed several new lasers were in use for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth at Epcot. There were more locations and colors used than the previous effects. Also the narration and some of the shells for the Holiday tag were changed this year. Below are some pictures and video from my December trip highlighting them. The first set of pictures were taken from the FastPass+ viewing area. The last couple from the bridge between the International Gateway and France. For more pictures and video from this trip visit my trip summary page.

The island to the right when looking toward the American Adventure has a laser on it (before it just had mirrors reflecting from somewhere else).

This one originated from somewhere near the Outpost, I never noticed exactly where.

The laser originating from the American Adventure was upgraded too. Here is a rainbow effect.

The one on the island can do the same effect.

This is the one on the island again, just less exposure to try and show the color better.

Here is a video of the finale and holiday tag from the FastPass+ viewing area:
