Illuminations enhancements

[WDW Monorail]

Lots of changes to pavilion light choreography. AA lights up first followed by Italy and Japan. It used to be the other way around. Plus a few fades and ramp ups. This is in the very beginning of the video.

They need to bring back the pirate and princess fireworks!

Mentioned it in the other thread about fireworks because I didn't notice this thread at first. They screwed with the pre-show music and post-show announcement within the last two days, both for the worse. Though I'm glad to know I'm not going crazy on the pavilion lighting changes. I thought that was new a few days ago.

Whats different now?

Youre right. Completely missed those changes when I watched first time through.

The pre-show loop is completely different, doesn't set the mood for the show well at all, and the last movement right before the show starts is an Old West style piece. The post-show announcement is much longer than it used to be, way too wordy.

Hmm...well, the pre-show loop did need changing considering its age so I can't fault them for that. Have to keep an ear out for it on the inter-webs then; I'm sure someone will post a recording/track listing.

Agreed! IMO it is better than Wishes.

Just saw ROE last night for the first time in a few weeks. The preshow loop has not been changed, however the show is now solely "presented by Siemens", no mention of Sylvania anymore. And the pavilion lighting is much more noticeable now with its new cues.

That's odd...I stopped in the shop on the Canada side in World Showcase Plaza that night and one of the CMs said she had noticed the change in the pre-show the night before as well. Do they have a longer loop than they actually play (say, closer to an hour+) and for some reason the loop started on a section that isn't normally played? I didn't hear any of the loop until the 15 minute announcement, as that's when I came out of the China film and exit shop. I just find it odd that in the hundred plus times I've seen the show, I've never heard that loop if its "normal."

I have no proof, but think illuminations used to be better, with more lasers and more fireworks, especially more of those little white things that lit everything up. I might be wrong.

I'd have to agree. But I'm not a big fan of illuminations anyway.
