If you look at the top of the temple in Epcot's Mexico World Showcase from across the lagoon, you will notice a glass control room that must have one of the best views in all of Walt Disney World. I always assumed this was a security office — or maybe the office of Epcot's "Head Honcho" — but yesterday I learned that it's the command center for the nightly Illuminations show.

Illuminations is such a spectacle that it's hard to imagine it isn't run exclusively by some sort of Disney Magic™. I'm sure there's plenty of magic involved but evidently the magician can be found pulling the strings at the top of the Mayan temple in the Mexico World Showcase. TMYK!
