We're comparing it to Reflections of Earth.I happen to love Luminous. Could it use some improvements, well sure?
How was the first version of Illuminations? Are we comparing Luminous to that first show?
That confused me too. I assume they mean RoE.How was the first version of Illuminations? Are we comparing Luminous to that first show?
How many years were those thousands of surveys collected for RoE? I certainly think Luminous is better than RoE limping into retirement.We're comparing it to Reflections of Earth.
I love the show but it's obvious they still held back on it in parts. It is funny when you see the tower raise up at the end. It's like you can tell they wanted to do even more then "just" have it launch pyro outward. That piece really echoes the RoE earth torch so well too. Isn't the tower box mostly hollow? (going off the pictures from BlogMickey a few months ago)Budget.
As said elsewhere, it was a rush job with a…. controlled budget. But we are looking forward to seeing it (Thank you, you know who you are)I love the show but it's obvious they still held back on it in parts.

I had to wash my hands after typing that.Leverage that flywheel synergy.
See, now you have me trying to think what Chapek would say. And it's so early in the morning @monothingie.
Yeah, I think while this is a good starting point for how the show is doing we still have to wait to truly see what people think. I agree the loss segment isn't great, I don't really like the mixing of those two songs. The middle in general needs work, "You'll be in my heart" is nice but I can do without it, it feels like Harmonious and the song is already in HEA. Don't touchHow many years were those thousands of surveys collected for RoE? I certainly think Luminous is better than RoE limping into retirement.
I think they need to pull the “loss” sequence. Gen Y and Gen Z don’t appreciate it. I don’t want RoE back. It was excellent…in 1999.
I'll be honest...I kind of like Into the Unknown in the show. The way it's used is pretty great. And I don't like Frozen stuff in general so I was surprised to enjoy that segment. In context it works and the interaction with the pavilions is very neat.Yeah, I think while this is a good starting point for how the show is doing we still have to wait to truly see what people think.

"Proud Corazón" that part is basically perfect IMO. The friends segment can be completely redone, do we really need to hear "Friend Like Me" again? Also both of those songs are already used in HEA in the same kind of segment. The love segment is nice and I like it, personally I would keep it. "Into the Unknown" doesn't need to be there, it feels the most forced IMO. "I see the Light" is a good version of that song but it's already used in HEA and the effects could probably be put to another song. The opening and final are great and I wouldn't change them.
I can understand that. To me it feels like some executive said "This show has to have Frozen because x" and they tried to make it fit best they could.I'll be honest...I kind of like Into the Unknown in the show.

But, I'd gladly dump it to get a original score in there.

What are you disagreeing with? I didn’t give my opinion. Young adults and millennials don’t like the segment and they’ve shared as much with the company. It may be compelling but many don’t want to hear it on vacation. You go to WDW to forget grandma has cancer for a week…I disagree; telling the story of human experience requires not shying away from struggle. I find it one of the more compelling and beautiful parts of the show and it would be a shame to lose it

The only struggle I want to have when visiting Disney World is either at the buffet or reading my post trip credit card statement.I disagree; telling the story of human experience requires not shying away from struggle.

Sorry—you described your views of the segment. I shared the public’s views. I guess you could disagree with my assessment that they should remove an unpopular segment because you like it.Your post literally said “I think they need to pull the “loss” sequence.”
Is that not your opinion of what they should do?
It also destroys the show’s energy and they have to follow it with two popular Disney songs to recapture the crowd before the finale.The only struggle I want to have when visiting Disney World is either at the buffet or reading my post trip credit card statement.
Death and Loss is not magical and while it may be compelling story to some it is certainly out of place for others.
Yes I apologize for sharing my opinion on a message forum. I’ll remember not to do that in the future.Sorry—you described your views of the segment. I shared the public’s views. I guess you could disagree with my assessment that they should remove an unpopular segment because you like it.
