IllumiNations Dining Package
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth takes visitors of Epcot's World Showcase on a journey through human history in a spectacular fashion. With fireworks, flames, lasers, and beautiful music, IllumiNations is one of the favorite moments in many Disney visitor's day. IllumiNations will be ending in the second half of 2019 to make room for a new nighttime spectacular. Even before the announcement that it would be ending, IllumiNations was always a major draw for Epcot visitors. Guests routinely start claiming a spot 1 - 2 hours before the show and possibly have to stand in that one spot through the end of the evening. Especially as crowds are anticipated to increase through the final months of IllumiNations, having reserved seating for it could be incredibly valuable.
