Disney Facts: How Illuminations is put together, by the numbers

Posted on 17:40 by john mical
Flames, fireworks and flowing water punctuate the nightly “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” show in the Epcot World Showcase Lagoon. The centerpiece of the show is the Earth globe, which contains what Disney calls the world's first spherical video display system.

Here is how the spectacular is put together, by the numbers:
