Were they testing pyro for this on Monday night? Was a bunch of stuff going off around midnight at Epcot.

Wasn't there supposed to be a test that involved the possible tentative show this past week, if there was then how did it go? Or did I get it jumbled up with something else?

If someone had seen it the difference between a July 4th tag and a new show would be quite noticeable?

Would you say the amount of booms you heard was more or less than standard Illuminations?

Hi CrescentLake. I live in CT also. ESPN is a mile down the road from me. I too would like them to keep the music and the theme and to just upgrade the show. Adding drones, bigger and better fountains would be fine if all else stays. Still would like a re-visit on the idea of having two or three large parts to a new earth globe. Bring them in 1 at a time and put them together for the show. Remember, Disney likes to cut costs recently. So maybe a good upgrade is still more desirable than completely new show.

Fantastic article/interview about the creation, and ultimately, the end of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. Nothing truly news worthy but a great read.

I really enjoyed reading this article and learning of Don Dorsey's impact on Disney entertainment. Thanks for sharing this. Be sure to click on and read the link embedded in this article talking about Dorsey's work on the parades. Here it is if if you missed it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/csylt/...-the-sparkle-of-disneys-parades/#694c4e866792

Great article, thanks for sharing. Especially loved the part where Dorsey initially described the globe and what it did, and the Disney folks (even back then) sorta skeptically transcribed his elaborate vision... and then they executed it. Not sure if that would happen in today's environment; there'd be a bean-counter in the meeting, probably.
I hope that's not the case; I hope the new show with its drones and the like will be as much of a show-stopper as Reflections of Earth is, but I'm also enough of a realist to temper my expectations for the new show. The bar is raised very, very high.

I love the fact that Don Dorsey originally was going to compose Spectromagic (Then called Electromagic) before they went with a different composer.

Not quite like they had a choice....

There’s always a choice! But John Debney was the right move. Don’s fantastic at arranging, but John was better at composing.

Don walked away when they decided to use a real orchestra. He wasn't interested.
They're scrambling to throw this together with a changed timeline. I would think they're not going to announce anything until they have a definite show they they know will work.

I just hope they don't pull a GMR and give us a little more time to plan a quick goodbye trip.
I don't understand one-last-time-ism. The last time you saw it was your one last time, no? Is it so you have a lifetime viewing of Illuminations at 33 times instead of 32?
