Thats kinda what I wished would have happened.. keep the RoE score, and use new tech. They'd need to add fire though

Maybe there is no Pyro Sale! Also, with our luck, POE's return is probably just a pipe dream!
Luminous may be doing Good Things for EPCOT but Team EPCOT really needs to go back to ROE Tags thinking! Granted, Heartbeat Of Freedom only played with ROE on July 4th but it was nice to think about 2 Nights this year!

That’s really sad, but also kind of sad/funny that they didn’t decide to fix what is now a major grammatical error.Yeah about that....

Great video, crazy how the sun keeps setting later! I was thinking it’s a good thing the 4th fireworks should be right after Luminous, which will push the start time into the dark more!

Maybe they should consider pushing the time back a little for Luminous

The added pyro in the finale is very impressive. It already was great but they took it up another level.
It is stuck at 9pm all summer unfortunately.

So they're just going to run it while it's basically still light out?

It's really not bad in person. Cameras tend to overexpose the twilight sky.

I was there Wednesday. Seeing it at twilight where it basically got dark during the show was kinda cool. Though I've admittedly seen the show a few times before. Not sure if it's would be as good for a first viewing.

Well, sunset starts moving up again in a few days at least. They should really delay it 15 min in June and July, though. It’s dark by 9 in August.
It does stink that only deluxe resort guests or DAH ticket holders can see Epcot at night…

The lack of longer night hours for Epcot during the summer is a personal sore point, especially with the incredible SSE lighting package now. I don't know exactly when they stopped doing the shows after Harmonious/Luminous, but currently it's dark enough for only 3 shows prior to Luminous starting, and then nothing, really, afterwards. It's dark enough for Luminous, just barely, but it would still be nice to get at least another half hour or so of enjoying the park actually open and alive after dark with all the lighting additions they made.

It’s absolutely absurd we can’t enjoy more park hours at night. Hollywood had a few solid weeks of 10 pm closings but it killed that too.
It feels like Epcot lighting packages still runs post closing at least. I don’t know if the beacons still run though to be honest.
