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

[Vinnie Mac]

The more I listen to it, I simply cannot believe 'So Close' has not been regularly used for castle shows. It's such an incredible and evocative song for the medium. I feel like this is going to be the most emotional "romance" section we've ever seen.

Also, listening to it, you can totally hear why it was chosen for this show's concept. The orchestral arrangement backing that song is gorgeous and begging to be utilized.

I was listening to it and it's such a beautiful song. That piano instrumental carried a lot of emotion with it. Gonna be interesting to see how that emotion translates to the lagoon. I'm so pumped for this show

Any chance all the new lights in world celebration with interact with Luminous?

Excited to see the show (even if I won't get to see it in person until March)

How crowded do we think it will be tonight for the last Epcot Forever?

I will probably wait until after Pixie blackouts are lifted after the first of the year.

I don't think it'll be like that for Epcot Forever but it will be packed on Tuesday

Yes, agreed, it will be packed on Tuesday.

Tuesday/tomorrow will be the first somewhat major opening of something new since Covid where there are no Covid/Blockout dates.

With no blockouts/reservations, it may be chaos.

Probably not too bad - not the first time it has "twinkled away" and I am sure many figure it will come back at some point.

No Mickeys Very Merry tonight so people likely thee to see the fireworks there then there is a party tomorrow night

Tomorrow will be packed

Didn't HEA & EF 2023 return with no Blockouts?

The thing is Happily Ever After is at 8 PM and Epcot Forever is at 9:30 PM so there might be a lot of people hopping to Epcot as well.

They did, and Magic Kingdom was insane that day.

You mean EF Tonight.

 

[Starship824]

You mean EF Tonight.

Yes you're right, I fixed it.

 

[jrhwdw]

Yes you're right, I fixed it.

Thanks. However it will be interesting how many hop over to Epcot on non Party Nights for the rest of MVMCP if Luminous gets rave previews

The last sentence is very encouraging

 

[Starship824]

The last sentence is very encouraging

That's high praise, hopefully, it's accurate but I'm not going to believe anything until I see the show myself.

Is there a Media Preview after hours tonight since Media's there already for World Celebration?
