I used to work very closely with what is now known as DPLE folks on the administrative end. It's those kind of comments that the show designers and programmers love to hear, but so seldom do. They toil endlessly on tiny little details like that which most guests will never notice because there's other things to look at, or, if they do, they don't put two and two together to understand the artistic intent.
Absolutely, I saw how the pyro and fountains had "character" from the very first videos, and when you later see higher quality, multi-angle videos and you get to know the music, especially in the finale, and see how perfectly they match the beats and highlights and even syncopation with the music...it's like respect overload for the talents behind this.

I know pyro being synchronized with music is expected and not really impressive today the same way it was when Illuminations: ROE came out but for some reason it's so satisfying how the pyro lines up with the music. It's almost like it's driven not by programming but by the music itself if that makes sense.

I also love that first water-level burst in the welcome act. Gathers everyone's attention very effectively lol

Is there any update on the soundtrack being released, Harmonious released about month after it debuted and it's been well, over a month and there's been no word. Does anyone know if the soundtrack is coming out or are we just gonna half to wait till someone leaks it.


I just hope they are going to include the two post show songs. Beating Of Our Hearts might be included but they didn’t say anything about One Heartbeat.

One of my favorite details in the show happens early in the show in opening act. Whenever the lyrics "the wind in the trees, the tides of the ocean" are played, the fountains turn into a forest and an ocean. You don't need screens for good visuals!

I'm so glad Luminous exist it's a great show and I can't wait to see it again hopefully within the next couple of months
And this is exactly why I'm glad there aren't screens. It's probably the reason why I really didn't like Harmonious. I'd rather have a more effect focused show instead of watching a TV screen with some other stuff that gets overshadowed.

I wish one heartbeat and the acoustic imagination were in the actual show…. They would be way better than hearing more Disney songs for the 100th time! Haha

*edited cause I realized beating of our hearts is in the show haha.
This froze me in confusion for literally a hot minute.. 😉 was like there a 3rd song that wasn't in the show!

Technically there is 3 original songs for Luminous. Heartbeat Symphony, Beating of Our Hearts and One Heartbeat. Oddly though Disney continues to say there is only two original songs and excludes One Heartbeat.
Is one heartbeat in the show? Maybe I’m confusing things…. I’ve only seen it twice and I was paying attention to the post show music on the way out so maybe I mixed things up.

I should have said the 3rd song One Heartbeat is only in the post show. Which I guess answers the question why Disney has not mentioned it as one of the original songs because it’s not “In” the actual show. 🤷‍♂️.
Oh no you didn't have to, I'm well aware there's just 2 songs in the show.. I won't see this in person until I renew my annual when I decide lol. I also opted out to listen to a clip of the pre and post show music wanted to keep that a surprise or when I'm there new experience.. now knowing there is another original song from the show might make me want to sneak in..😄
