I really wish they would just re-orchestrate the current tracks, give it a slight modern edge, but keep the same feeling and heart. In the way that Soarin' was re-orchestrated, let's make illuminations something that lives on.

No, But I have seen what Epcot has become over the last decade (arguably two) I don't have much confidence.

My time is pretty much wasted anyway.

With no exaggeration, if Illuminations ends entirely -- the show, the music, the song, etc -- I'm not sure if my traveling companions and myself will return to WDW anytime soon. It's such a huge part of our trip and, as you say, has such an emotional connection for me and my loved ones that a trip to the park will be a harder sell for all of us.

If the name change gets approved, expect it to be very subtle, ala EPCOT Center > EPCOT

If you and @marni1971 can't answer this i understand but would you approve of this hypothetical addendum to the current name?

Any chance Spaceship Earth would be included as a projection screen in the new show somehow? (understanding your limitiations to post info...)

you're referring to the name of the new show, correct? Not the park?

Whoah. So an addendum to the name? Not a full removal of the word "Epcot"?

I agree. It's my favorite show, but I can admit that the small globe is hard to see and can understand that newer tech could upgrade the show. I just hope they keep the theme/music.
Maybe if they could just stipulate that any new show must get a personal stamp of approval from @marni1971, then my fears would be allayed.

I didn't hear this part in the rumors. Is this true? As in, will the EPCOT name be abandoned completely? Sorry to start a tangent in this thread, but I am curious about this. Can you elaborate on this?
I've heard nothing (so what) but I'd be surprised given the logistics of the location.

Re, the globe:
I remember it being theorized back in earlier stages of RoL development that, again, in theory, a show centerpiece for the lagoon could be made up of floats that navigate themselves separate throughout the water and then assemble via magnets or other mechanical means, thus creating a larger centerpiece than the entry infrastructure currently allows for.
Again, I stress, in theory. It was discussed. Who knows if anything came of it.
