    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    The narrator never tells you how to feel, she simply introduces the next stage of the show. The music, fountains, lighting and fireworks are well done for each stage of the show. To me, it all fits together including the IP which is subtle and not in your face. In my opinion Luminous is a...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    The IP in Luminous is really well done, even the “ Play” segment that might be one of the weaker parts of the show is completely salvaged by the incredible pyro and lighting that takes place during that segment. The videos do not do these effects justice. Watched it in person last night from...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    Saw it tonight in person, due to the rain earlier a reservation opened up at Rose and Crown so we got lucky on that. Unfortunately the wind scrapped the perimeters but they made up for it with the comet launches from the barges. Based on that I guess we saw the “B” version. Initial impression...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    Thank you sir! But with my luck I'm a little worried, we booked this trip several months ago and one of the reasons was to see the new show in person. Even if its worst case and we miss out on some aspects of Luminous and the Christmas Party fireworks at MK it will still be much better than...

    Thank you for the info, seeing Luminous without the perimeter launches wouldn't be ideal but it's better than nothing!

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    My wife and I will be flying down in a few days, the weather forecast is calling for some rather windy conditions. We have been very lucky the past several times we were at WDW as the weather was as close to perfect as you can get for central Florida. Do wind gusts of 20-30MPH cause show...

    News 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays

    Pretty much settled, keep the Bible and religion out of any theme park. Leave it for church time.

    News 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays

    You just proved my point, it is subjective just as the interpretation of the Bible is subjective. Humankind is the appropriate word to describe all of us, not mankind. That is my subjective opinion and thus I hold to my original statement of applauding goodwill to all vs goodwill to men...

    News 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays

    For several thousand years we thought the sun orbited the Earth, just because we "thought" this or "accepted" that doesn't make it right. But I suspect you already knew that...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    ROE is my favorite show of all time. It took many years and dozens upon dozens of in person views to achieve that status. That being said there were many parts of the show that could have been better, nothing will ever be perfect. All of that aside I shut off the live feed of the Harmoniuos...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    I still get goosebumps hearing that song (even the remix you posted) and remembering the times waiting around the lagoon for ROE to start. My entire point earlier that a show must produce emotion to become memorable, if not it is nothing more than something to do in the moment that is soon...

    Pre-show music isnt't bad so far, I need some Bunsindre Reel though. Not sure anything can ever top that one IMO.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    I am in complete agreement with you. Harmonious was garbage and every update I read or heard made me less and less enthusiastic about that show. I am optimistic that they got it this time, seeing the new areas opened up today along with the new area music loops and quotes from Luminous...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    The reason Reflections of Earth remains my favorite show is that it triggered emotion. Shows that are cool to look at are fun in the moment but do not have any power after they are over. From what I have seen and heard I am very optimistic that Luminous will do what no other show outside of...

    Tron Lightcycle Run is already rusting out

    I completely agree, the entire experience riding Tron is ruined by the stains on the track and supports. WDW management should have the entire structure pressure washed every other night to ensure the guest experience is the best possible. I am certain that no on will care that the ridiculous...
