Epcot is the center of this 15-month spectacle featuring an international pageantry of sights and sounds. In true Disney fashion, a spectacular line-up of entertainment has been developed including Tapestry of Nations, a majestic tribute to the beginning of a new era. This awe-inspiring, nightly procession around the Epcot World Showcase features dramatic, inspiring music, audience participation, and more than 100 performers, donning vibrantly colored puppets soaring 20-to-30-feet above their heads. The evening entertainment bursts to a crescendo with an all-new IllumiNations 2000: Reflections of Earth, filled with spectacular lasers, fireworks and special effects that transform the skies above World Showcase Lagoon into a kaleidoscope of colorful pyrotechnic bursts as the Earth's majesty unfolds before your eyes. Another highlight featured at the Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration is a world without borders - Millennium Village - located in World Showcase. Millennium Village hosts exhibits from around the globe which provide an in-depth look at the cultural and communal offerings of the world's people, arts and technological advances. Upon entering Millennium Village, you will be immersed in a collection of exotic scents, sights and sounds from this exciting "new world" which offers you the opportunity to journey through a Brazilian rainforest or even experience first hand the four seasons of Sweden. In addition to enjoying spectacular entertainment and exhibits, you can create your own life-long memories and share special keepsakes with guests from around the globe through an intriguing kind of interaction - pin trading. An exchange that rose to fame during the Olympics, when pin traders from around the world swapped stories as they traded commemorative pins, this cultural sharing takes center stage near the entrance of Epcot at Millennium Central. Here, you can add to your pin collections by trading with guests and Disney cast members while sharing experiences that bring the world together. While visiting Epcot, you also have the opportunity to, literally, leave your mark as a lasting memory of this special time. At Leave A Legacy, you can have your photo etched on a commemorative metallic tile that is mounted on one of 30 sculptured granite monoliths near Spaceship Earth. On your next visit to Epcot, you can locate your tile and see how you looked during this historic milestone. From Millennium Central and Millennium Village to the pulsating procession Tapestry of Nations and the powerful pyrotechnics of IllumiNations 2000, the cultures of the world come alive through this must-see extravaganza. And, the excitement doesn't stop at Epcot. Each Walt Disney World theme park has added more new attractions to ring in the new Millennium, as the celebration extends across the entire resort. Disney Cruise Line also offers a fun-filled Millennium vacation option which allows you to enjoy an enchanted seven-day getaway as you experience once-in-a-lifetime memories at the Walt Disney World Resort followed by a relaxing three- or four-day Disney cruise to the Bahamas.
