Do they play the music over there?Get Dinner at Beaches and Cream and watch the show from the Yacht and Beach lighthouse dock. Awesome spot with the fireworks reflecting on the lake.

It’s hit or miss but sometimes. Boardwalk does not iirc bc of their live performers.Do they play the music over there?
Do you need a reservation for Beaches and Cream? Also, I'm gonna move this to a trip planning thread. Want me to @ you?Get Dinner at Beaches and Cream and watch the show from the Yacht and Beach lighthouse dock. Awesome spot with the fireworks reflecting on the lake.
I applaud you for being honest enough with yourself and with this group to self-correct in an open forum. There's not enough of that on this site and I appreciate it so much when I see it.Well I'm 3 for 3 for seeing this show and it making me teary-eyed. I guess I'm a fan.
I feel bad for badmouthing it when it debuted and I hadn't seen it yet, but Harmonious really left a bad taste in my mouth.
We can all agree that the best finale music in Epcot history was “A Whole New World,” obviously.
I know…damn near 20 years they went on…and on…and on…like, we get it! Why don’t you go on, now, and leave!I don't know. Circle of Life was pretty good back in the day. Both both were much better than that generic and uninspiring "We Go On" crap. Because IP.
It must have been the original finale song, right? There must be a non-acoustic version on a hard drive somewhere. I wish we could hear itCan we all agree that "One Heartbeat" is the better post show song?
I'm willing to bet it was in the show originally and then was cut for some reason and that there's a full non-acoustic version of it out there. I don't know if it was the original finally song but it definitely seems like it was in the show at some point and then was cut so they decided to put it in the post show.It must have been the original finale song, right?

Ironically, it was followed by Epcot Forever. Epcot’s nighttime spectacular crew seems obsessed with permanence.
I wish if they had to cut a song they cut Heartbeat Symphony, I feel like a full version of One Heartbeat would have been a stronger openingIt must have been the original finale song, right? There must be a non-acoustic version on a hard drive somewhere. I wish we could hear it
I've wondered about this! Was the show built around the song that was presented, or was the song given a structure brief before it was written, e.g. break it down towards the end with a space for that trick, then provide an obvios heartbeat that could synchronise with the red hearts. I mean, the show story must have been designed and scripted and then they commissioned the beginning and ending songs to fit?? Like incidental music for movies - the composer is given the movie edit to fit the music to, right?The gospel-esque ending of Beating of our Hearts is nearly perfect for the center barge’s final trick.
Luminous was so different from a development standpoint. There never really was confirmation on just how extensive the musical rewrites were, but I think Heartbeat Symphony was always going to lead. Beating of our Hearts and One Heartbeat were most likely recorded as pop tracks, the post show versions of each. Seems like they then decided which they would use for the finale, and had it recorded with deliberate crescendos for pyrotechnic cues.I've wondered about this!

To me it seems like "Beating of our Hearts" was also going to be the ending song but I don't really know and we might never know. (Unless they shows it in the Epcot special I didn't watch lol, in which case call me out because I'm probably wrong)Luminous was so different from a development standpoint.

Eric Tucker was brilliant in his work on Luminous, so that’s also a factor. Brilliant fireworks design will usually just *work* regardless of how the song is recorded because a good designer will know how to supplement the emotion of the audio in a show. This is what took I:RoE from one of the greatest compositions in the last 100 years to one of the greatest pieces of entertainment ever. No, I’m not biased.
It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
When it’s done right.
Just quoting this because I think that's an amazing way of putting it.It’s like poetry, it rhymes.
@wdwmagic How's the reception going with this show because the fact they're calling out RoE and not Harmonious doesn't seem good?
I am not convinced that the show isn’t popular. I keep hearing rave reviews here.Also, how are the Restaurants doing?
Honeymoon's over for Luminous??? If true, what now Epcot?
