Illuminations Holiday Tag is making me cry!

[jcamacam]

I have seen this tag only once (last year) and we are going 12/2-12/9 this year so we will see it again.

I just listened to the music and tears started streaming, and I mean streaming, down my face!!!

We have a Grand Gathering of about 50 people with a dessert reception planned for Epcot Wednesday evening that week to watch the fireworks. I'm going to be pretty embarrassed if I'm bawling like a baby in front of that many family and friends.

Does it have this affect on anyone else?

Maybe it's just the state of events in the world and I'm thinking of my two little boys...not sure what makes the waterworks start (ha, ha)

What's the "Holiday Tag?"

What is the Holiday Tag? Is it the special extended Illuminations that they do in winter? I like that too.

ditto. Sounds like a fun game though!

Is the music online anywhere?

I love the holiday ending to illuminations too. Gives me goosebumps each time I see it (even online).

Ha, ha, hadn't thought of that!

Here is a link for the music (from the Anyone want to download... thread)...

Somehow I just have the Holiday Illuminations Tag part (which is an additional 4 minutes at the end of the regular Illuminations) but they have all of it on this link.

Wow, I've always loved illuminations, but that just is the icing on the cake. Plus they picked one of my favorite christmas pieces for it too. (let there be peace on earth) please tell me that this version will be "playing" Nov 27th?

It was playing Thanksgiving weekend last year so you should see it no problem. The tag is FABULOUS with beautiful music, great messages in many languages and amazing fireworks to go with it.

Holiday Illuminations is my very favorite event at WDW. The music and fireworks are outstanding!!! I hope Disney never changes it. It also makes me very emotional!!!!

The best!!!!!

I made a video of that part last year while there

Quality is okay, taken with a digital camera with a video function. I think I saw that about 5 times last year. The ending makes the ground trembled like an earthquake, nothing like it.

Yes, make sure you don't miss it as I noticed some people were leaving last year at the end of the "regular" portion thinking it was over.

It is wonderful - you will truly enjoy it!

because nothing says "Let there be Peace on Earth" like shooting off a bunch of explosives

I watched your video from work this morning because my computer is so slow and videos don't play very well there. It was all I could do to not cry! Its so beautiful! I can't wait!!!

 

[pixiemagic30]

I remember watching it about 5 years ago and it was awesome! When does the Holiday changes take place? I will be at Epcot on Monday and wondering if I will be able to experience it again?

TIA!

We saw this in 2004 and it brought tears to my eyes as well. It is the one thing I am looking forward to the most for my trip next month.

Oh my goodness! I just watched your video clip 6 times in a row! It's amazing! I can't wait to see it in person!

I just can't wait! My DH won't even go see another firework show since we left WDW and that was 4 years ago!! He says nothing could top them. We are looking forward to seeing Illumindations again and it will be on our last day so I hope they having the Holiday ending. Our last day is Dec.21.

That was so awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

I'll be there at Epcot on the 27th as well, and watching to see what the heck a "Holiday tag" is, since nobody on this thread has said what the word "tag" has to do with IllumiNations.

Guess I'm just slow on the uptake.
