News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

[CaptainAmerica]

IllumiNations: Reflections of Michael CONFIRMED for 2023. He’s such a big star that he doesn’t need any freakin barges. I hope he sings the Jack Sparrow song. It’s perfect for Epcot.

Sightlines are not going to be a problem.

But really, credit to Steve

It's the person on here who teased HEA pre-d23. But others have teased that this is the plan.

If Disney actually removes the barges during the daytime I would consider that a huge step. I might even give leadership credit for listening to guest feedback and not being stunned by the shock of spending so much money for only a few years run.

A proper repurpose of the barges would be Seven Seas Lagoon

Yeah, the bottom of Seven Seas Lagoon!

The Stargate isn't like toooooo bad in the daytime, it's the tacos that definitely have to go.

What they announced is almost embarrassingly, cynically…”minor”

The little things are fine…but they have a bigtime capacity problem in the US parks and they just made their intentions to sit on it for more years known. And they’ll blame us.

Stockholm syndrome.

Can you stay on topic for once ?

Every time I read your posts I loose brain cells. Your so overly pessimistic and negative about everything it becomes very tiring reading what you write.

Ironically, Harmonious itself was ALSO a direct response to guest feedback.

Ask them directly.

Can you expand on that with what was specifically being addressed?

I'm surprised you haven't heard of them. They were posting a lot of updates on what's going on with Genie+.

"ROE is too boring and not Disney enough."

They had 0 budget. The 50th team isn’t the problem.

They literally created a new show at the MK & made NO reference to Walt!!! Took them how long to finally add a 2 minute intro…

"ROE is too boring and not Disney enough."

Those people should have just been ignored though.

The funny thing is Harmonious was all about Disney IP.

Hit the ignore button…problem solved.

Having a bad week/decade?

It is fascinating to me that upper management is so resistant to the cure for all their problems: creating a show that actually fits the park.

All this money spent, and continues to be spent, on things that just don't resonate. The easy fix is RIGHT there.

Nah I’m good.

Just noticing a pattern in your posts that I don’t particularly care for. Wasn’t trying to personally attack you but felt like I had to say something.

Get rid of Harmonious.

Remove the barges. More fireworks, lasers, and lights. Plus an original score with an Illuminations throwback.
