Favorite Frames: A Farewell to Illuminations, Reflections of Earth

Deep breaths, for the time has come. Last night was the final run of Epcot’s Illuminations: Reflections of Earth and while I knew the day was coming, it’s a bit of the end of a Disney era for me. This fireworks show has been woven into the fabric of our love story from the very first trip we made to the parks together in 2004. And it will forever and always hold a piece of my heart

So I’m throwing it back to some memories from the evening of our wedding day. A pontoon boat full of love and promise and tears and happiness.

“Good evening. On behalf of Walt Disney World, the place where dreams come true, we welcome all of you to Epcot, and World Showcase. We’re gathered here tonight, around the fire, as people of all lands have gathered for thousands and thousands of years before us, to share the light, and to share a story. An amazing story as old as time itself, but still being written. And though each of us has our own individual stories to tell, a true adventure emerges when we bring them all together as one. We hope you enjoy our story tonight: Reflections of Earth.”
