I'm at Epcot tonight and noticed that the pre show music for IllumiNations is back to the pre 2004 loop. I'm usually watching the show a couple times a week and sometime last week or the start of this week they changed it.

I like the old loop, and hope it stays.

I wouldn't mind if they alternated them on different days. They each bring something to the pre-show experience. And while I really liked a greater percentage of the songs in the first loop, the newer loop added a lot of energy before the show that originally was brought about by Tapestry of Nations, and the first pre-show just had to keep the vibe going.

They get mixed up from time to time. Occasionally you will here the 1999 loop, the next night you might hear the 2004 loop.

That's my favorite track out of the loop. I don't know which loop it belongs to, but I hope they still play it.

I think it's time for a 2013 loop. Next gen style.

You get to watch this 2-3 times per week 
How I wished I lived in Orlando area (I'm in UK), althought I fear I would never get any work done lol.

Interesting. Though I wonder how they would unintentionally play the old loop. I have no idea how these systems work though.
I really do like both loops. The first one was great, and I was disappointed when they changed it in 2005. However, over time it definitely grew on me. I do like the energy/vibe it brings.
It will be interesting to see if the change is permanent.

They occasionally mix the loops up once in a while.

Now if the old Illuminations score from the late 1980's to mid 90's could come back. That was an awesome score.
