EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

[wutisgood]

Corey at least likes it and said it prob better in person and said 7.5/10. I think they should have dumped the screens for much bigger fountains and projection water screens which is what I expected. I think disney was obsessed with the arms being the wow factor on new tech. I will have to see how I feel in person.

The post show Spaceship Earth lights looks like the best part of the show.

Can someone please explain the story the show is trying to tell? Asking for a friend.

It’s a test of how much IP you can tolerate being shoved down your throat before you gag.

IMO, the highlight was Spaceship Earth lighting up after the ending...

Obviously the story is that Lion King, Frozen, Moana, Mulan, Coco, Lion King again, etc. are all available to stream! Only on Disney+

Now we start counting days for how long the arms and taco screens work.

Disney putting a bunch of new clips together and creating an new song at the end to cap it off.

The ending song is not new. It's called "Someday" and was composed by Alan Menken for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" in 1996 but cut from the movie in favor of "God Help the Outcasts." Still plays over the end credits, I believe.

Harmonious in a nutshell.

Guessing you had predetermined that post long before the show started.

 

[ToTBellHop]

It was World Showcase meets Magic Kingdom. No hint of Future World.

That’s what was promised.

To summarize the criticisms: “I never liked the concept of this show and still hate the concept.”

 

[wtyy21]

I thought it looked cool…”Some day” at the end, thematically, feels like “Let there be Peace on Earth.”

I view this as, “imagine you are going around the world listening to musicians singing Disney music.”

I like the visuals.

Most of the comments here are about what I expected…

Feels more better for christmas or New Year's Eve finale. I would excited to see if Christmas tree will incorporated into the show.

Playing the Magic is Calling song now.

 

[Zummi Gummi]

I…liked it (ducks). However, I’ll reserve judgment until I see it in person Saturday night.

One question…are they not using the kites for this show? I thought I remembered reading they’d be part of it. Did I just miss them? Are they gone forever? They were kind of cool.

Remember when Disney had the capability of putting together an original soundtrack that was memorable and embodied creativity?

I sure hope some executive is wondering “we paid how much for this excrement?”

I thought the show had more of an Animal Kingdom feel to it and not Epcot. Bring back Illuminations.

Yes. And that’s not really a good thing if the show itself is supposed to be the major draw.

 

[themarchhare]

Not this being cooler than Harmonious........

 

[Judi8281950]

I sure hope MK is BETTER!!

 

[rioriz]

While the story is DCA like, I think its a small triumph for WDW. I understand now, somewhat keeping RaT half French (still lazy). But impressive show and what RoL wanted to be.

 

[Coaster Lover]

RoL had a great soundtrack, a beautiful story/message, and great flow but needed help in the hardware department... I feel like this show is the complete opposite in all regards...

 

[CaptainAmerica]

That’s what was promised.

I didn't hate it. It just replaced my favorite thing ever.

 

[DonaldDoleWhip]

It’s literally Happily Ever After on barges.

If only it were that good - at least HEA packs a signature song that's arranged really, really well.

I know the song originated in Hong Kong, but you'd never know it, as HEA utilizes it perfectly.

Sad day for those of us who particularly care about the music.
