My predictions for Epcots next Illuminations

First of all if drones are in fact in the mix a new format for this show will probably have to be in the same format as the old illuminations possible a drone platform barge because I'm confident they won't want to be running drones and fireworks at the same time. I also predict that there should be introductions of the countries either using lights or projection mapping which is more likely. They also were talking more of having more pyro than media which could mean the retirement of the maxi barges and full time use for the world war 3 barges since there able to launch larger shells do to the size and location there set at. This could all be theory but just a few things I thought of when we got some hints and plans for the next show.

They could also really use some projections on SSE during the show as well instead of just using for cruddy promos as a one time use...
Honestly, id rather just see solid lights, lasers, fountians, pyro and drones. I'd rather see art work choreographed with music and laser images are way more artistic than projections. Even the globe is more of a piece of art do to the functions it has and the fact that it is an amazing stucture rather than just a video played on a surface.

That will depend on if they have (Intel) fixed the issue with tracking on water. That is why the Disney Springs show was cut down to a 5mn or so show last year. Secondly, Epcot is just entirely out of the No Fly Zone (Up to 3000ft) as the no-fly zone extends 3 Nautical miles from the center spire of Cinderella Castle. So other than the magic kingdom, technically they wouldn't need a waiver to fly within the zone but do need FAA authorization. The agency's exemption only applies until November 2020, and can be rescinded at any time.
