IllumiNations pre-show music loop

[robw1997]

Does anybody know what the current IllumiNations pre-show music playlist is???? I know that back in December there was talk about the old (pre-2004) music loop returning, however when I was at WDW in January, the post-2004 music loop was played. Wikipedia says that both loops are alternated every other day??????

I only heard the pre-2004 loop in January.

The post 2004 music played every night from 4/21 - 4/23.

pre-2004 music was better...much better

Really? I think Busindre Reel and Both Uttara Karu songs are amazing.

 

[ejeremy98]

the post 2004 music is FAR superior and was playing on 5/13.

The old loop has not returned it's still the post 2004 loop every night. I wonder when they are gonna get rid of the Celebrate You exit song.

So long as they continue to use the song "Promise" every night when you leave EPCOT.

Saw it three times while there the 7th-15th of this month (June). It was the post 2004 music loop.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I was wondering why any of this matters?

 

[oldkeyw]

I like them both, though it took me a while to warm up to the current one. I see Illuminations 6-8 times a year and I haven't seen the old one since it first went away.

Has the post-2004 loop changed recently? There was another thread a while back that only had six songs on it...

No, its the same. The post 2004 loop runs about 45 mins if you play all the songs and since the pre-show audio only runs for 30 mins, only the first 6 songs are heard. The Bear, Red Skies, and Texas have always been there but are seldom heard in the parks; their purpose is to give the techies some leeway in the event of technical issues that force the show to be delayed for a few minutes, a luxury they didn't have with the 1999-2004 loop because it ran about 31 mins.

Yeah, the newer 2004 loop was playing last time I went, along with Celebrate You afterwards. It really felt like Celebrate You's time was over.

Cusco (the songs in the playlist) were recently added to iTunes . . .

Bumping an ancient thread. Anyone have any ideas on how I could legally get 30-års Jiggen on CD or MP3 without spending a fortune? I have all the other tracks from the original loop and this would complete the playlist.

Your song is track one on that CD apparently.

When I was there in November 2016, it was the pre-2004 loop playing. Now, I was back on November 2 and 3rd and it was the post-2004 loop.

Well look at that... I had just ordered that CD anyways because one of the other tracks is on there. Happy coincidence.
