Illuminations: Reflections of Earth / Tapestry of Dreams

IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth / Tapestry of Dreams is a Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park release. It was released in 2001 when Tapestry of Nations turned into Tapestry of Dreams at Epcot. The album was first released in 1999 as Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration, in conjunction with the Millennium Celebration at Epcot and changed its title when the "Millennium Celebration" promotion came to an end. Illuminations has the same track listing as Millennium Celebration, except that one track, "Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand", was removed.
