EPCOT Epcot Forever to debut as interim show before full Reflections of Earth replacement

[Mouse3268]

It was nice, not great, not amazing, just nice. Pretty obvious why this is the temporary show.

I’ve always been in the minority I believe, and have been going to WDW since the early 80’s...but I pretty darn well expect to have some Disney music with the nightly shows. So I’ve got zero issues with it.

Um. Illuminations music was Disney music. I don’t get what you’re saying.

 

[ddbowdoin]

I wonder how many people were turning to friends and asking “what song is that from” ...

 

[Yert3]

Um. Illuminations music was Disney music. I don’t get what you’re saying.

I was just about to say that.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

I’m Pretty sure it was written for figment to host the show and they couldn’t afford David G, so they had a random kid do it. Seriously, the only thing that makes sense.

I was there live. It has some nice moments. The kites are really cool. I like it better than happily ever after, it hits the emotions right in some places, but not others.

BUT THE KID HAS GOT TO GO!

I just watched again, loved the nostalgic music. They did great until....Disney can take Aladdin and flush that crap down the nearest toilet. That was truly crap.

And again I love Aladdin IP.

Same. I liked everything except for the whole new world. That was just garbage and a tease of the new garbage Disney music show that’s the replacement for illuminations.

I dont mind that they used A Whole New World, I just feel like it was over used... I get what they're going for, but the lyrics to Tomorrow's Child would have provided the same message...

Or Celebrate the Future....
Or Horizons...
Or Promise...
Or We Go On...

Banshee song? ...you talking about FOP?

No, I'm talking about Destiny..The theme song to Mission: Space or as the CM's call the Banshee song due to the girl that sings is like a loud noise that won't stop...

Add “Whole New World” to list of Disney songs I now dislike:

• How Far I’ll Go
• Building Snowman
• Go the Distance
• Won’t say I’m in love
• You’ll be in my heart
• Part of your World
• Out There
• Reflections
• The Pocahontas Soundtrack
• Oh Oh oh Zootopia Song
• Whole New World

Yeah, that’s gonna get me some hate.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

I heard A Whole New World and I thought, “maybe I’m dehydrated, there’s no way Disney put Aladdin in an EPCOT Center show.” No joke. And it continued. And I was like “Bob Chapek is this you???”

 

[Timmay]

Um. Illuminations music was Disney music. I don’t get what you’re saying.

I think you do.

 

[Disney Analyst]

I assumed the show was built with a simple infrastructure while they rebuild the backstage area for the new show and covert the old ROE equipment.

 

[figment34786]

I'm mostly just a lurker here, but my wife made this and I thought it was the funniest thing!! XD Thought I'd share.

We watched the livestream together, and I'd definitely say the first 90% of it is quite well done! But Aladdin was quite jarring.

I like your list. You forgot Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand.

This show has group think and conflicting agendas oozing from every second of it. How else do you explain basic pacing issues and bizarre sound choices that I think my 6 year old daughter could pick out as problematic?

 

[Jeremy Geertsema]

A Whole New World, was fine for me - liked the symbolism of it.

IMO, the show holds no emotional value to it, unless you're over the age of 30 and are familiar with the songs.

I liked the kites, thought they were innovative (also, Tapestry of Nations part was beautiful). I'm just over the constant use of nostalgia.

 

[Musical Mermaid]

I don’t know how long ago it was, but I’m pretty sure Martin warned us about the Whole New World part.

 

[Surferboy567]

No, I'm talking about Destiny..The theme song to Mission: Space or as the CM's call the Banshee song due to the girl that sings is like a loud noise that won't stop...

Yeah, I’ve always had a soft spot for Destiny...I really can’t put my finger why.

Tomorrow’s Child wouldn’t have fully conveyed Chapek’s message of “screw you EPCOT fan. I’m the boss now!”

 

[Brer Oswald]

I like your list. You forgot Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand.

I don’t think it’s as bad. Maybe if they played it 4000 times though.
