While cost cutting is not one of the five keys, efficiency is the last for a reason. Disney does things in the least efficent way possible.

We just saw this in person for the first time last night. The general consensus amongst myself, my wife, and my two daughters was… Eh, it’s ok. It wasn’t good enough that we didn’t start making our way towards the exit in the last few minutes to beat the crowds, and its’ definitely not good enough that it’ll keep us in Epcot till close unless we are there anyway.
By contrast, we would certainly stay till close for Happily Ever After, and for Illuminations.
YMMV.

If you actually left early, you may have missed the best parts. There are some cool pyro effects at the end. Also the finale has a pretty hefty payload on nights when the full thing runs.

2025 is going to be active but most likely for Disneyland.

WDW management will have the joy of visiting Universal's new park on there day off.

It will be interesting to see if Universal will be able pull off a nighttime show. I have my doubts as up to this point they haven't done anything I would consider spectacular.

Understandable since it’s their Anniversary. But hopefully WDW isn’t left out completely. Hopefully we are not looking beyond 2025 for that light parade!

Unless Happily Ever After goes away I don’t see a night parade at Magic Kingdom. They know they don’t need it.

Personally, for me the original version of Cinematic Spectacular lived up to its name before the construction for Diagon Alley caused them to relocate pyro launch points and some other adjustments. I'm hopeful that with what will hopefully be a dedicated launch point and the setting of the center of the park that they can pull off something with larger pyro without too much fuss from the nearby residents. My only concern is that it may end up being a very wet show if you're in the designed viewing areas for the show fountain depending on what exactly they do with it for the show.

as much as I love nighttime parades, just feels like a logistic nightmare given the crowds they get for HAE
Maybe if they ran the parade twice (before and after the fireworks) it could help disperse crowds a bit and at least avoid that huge throng of people leaving the park right after fireworks
Just feels like many other things they could spend $ on across the 4 parks would help out a lot more than adding a nighttime parade
There’s plenty of reachable speakers. You need to choose narration or no narration since they use both.
The original original version was indeed insane.

Could it be because the zoning height restrictions of Universal current area. Now with Epic Universe is like it can finally do a large nighttime spectacular like Epcot...

Ahhhh. I felt like I was going crazy. One time I saw it and could barely hear narration. The second I felt like she was screaming at me.

If we’re lucky when Disney gets around to it they will release both narration and no narration lol. And the post show… but that seems like a stretch. I’d say they’ll release some version of “Heartbeat Symphony” and the main show. Unlikely they’ll release “One Heartbeat”.

They are planning a digital release of the main show, however no timeline was given.

After watching dozens of recordings, I've noticed that in the Beating of our Hearts finale, when the lyrics
"We all, come together as one"
plays, the spotlights from the various pavilions around the lagoon move but don't exactly point to the center of the where the barges are. It's a bit off center, but it's not very noticeable from Showplace Plaza and Japan/America.

I’m sure they won’t till there’s a release date.

I'd say this is a good chance they'll release it since it's all rearranged versions and they don't use anything directly from the movies but then who knows.
