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

[mattpeto]

The one puzzle I haven’t figured out is if the new show is for the Epcot 40th (well 41st), 100th or permanent?

I’m guessing it’s the permanent one based on what we are hearing so far…

If it's not a new recording of EF, the Children will be there.

I've read 100th anniversary of Disney. If it were for the 40th, you'd think something would be in place by this October 1.

What's very odd is not peep on if we're getting a 40th Tag on October 1st. That would be a Big Miss if nothing came after Harm on the 40th!.........

Sure we will. Next March. Took them about that long or more to add a 50th anniversary tag to Enchantment in MK.

It's for or during the 100th. Big Question is, is the content the 100th or closer to Epcot/IllumNations????

Right, so will it twinkle away at the end of 2024 (end of 100th) or is it a new permanent show?

They are definitely making a show completely for the Epcot 41st. It’s the biggest anniversary there is.

Chapek is putting them in his pool.

Depends if people like it or not

If response is strong it will be permanent, if response it poor then it was for the 100th (or at l ast that it how things seem)

Someday is such a beautiful song.

In a vacuum I agree ... But a song about how "greed will be rarer" under the current management seemed very miscast

They have a pretty loose understanding of the term "permanent", so I don't think it really matters

On March 31, they will retrofit the perimeter launchers used for Someday to target the barges, and retrofit the fireworks with enough explosives to destroy them. There will be a special showing of Harmonious at 11 PM where they will carry this out, and it will be an upcharge event for the low low price of $399/person. I suspect they will sell out.

I guess it depends on how popular it is. It could be a timeless classic or end up dead in the water after 10 months.
