News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

[The Empress Lilly]

A dagger in my heart.

 

[PorterRedkey]

IP + Illuminations = diluted experience.

Not everything needs to have an IP attached. But everyone on this board already knows this. I wish Chappie would get the memo.

 

[AndyS2992]

I love Illuminations but this incarnation will be 20 years old next year, definitely time for something new. I just hope it’s replacement is worthy.

 

[PrincessNelly_NJ]

Im actually excited for this. I love Illuminations and I loved Wishes. But after seeing how great Happily Ever After turned out, I have a feeling this will be great!

They did build 2 more after opening day.

Disney trademarked "Skymosphere" for entertainment services a couple weeks ago.

 

[TabulaRasa]

Do we know if this will have IP?

 

[Wendy Pleakley]

With the inclusion of IP, I worry they will just be putting something like World of Color or Fantasmic! into World Showcase, with no concern for developing something that is consistent with the concept of World Showcase.

Concern aside, there's no reason to be upset that they're replacing a show after so many years. Classic status of RoE aside, Disney lets shows and parades stagnate for far too long.

 

[Coaster Lover]

They really knocked it out of the park with Happily Ever After. Hopefully whatever replaces Illuminations will be just as spectacular...

Skymosphere. Streetmosphere. Barfmosphere.

I'm going to really miss hearing the preshow music played 30 minutes before the show starts. The music really makes visitors excited for the show to begin.

North, south, east and west. All directions point to IP.

A few months ago it was bumped a year.

87 show > 99 show - try to change my mind

Would be nice if they still play it. Also Tapestry of Nations after the show.

 

[geekza]

...expect to see familiar Disney characters and stories as part of the show.

Because of course. Sigh.

DO NOT WANT.

Disney trademarked "Skymosphere" for entertainment services a couple weeks ago.

That ranks right up there with CineMagic for terrible names... hopefully, it's used elsewhere...

 

[brb1006]

Even though we've known this for months, I still felt sad when hearing this. I look forward to what the new show will bring but I am not confident that Disney can top RoE.

The entire soundtrack still gives me chills.

*sigh*
I wonder when they'll realize sticking IP into something doesn't automatically make it good.

On that note, I'll be making a trip next year specifically to see one of (if not not the) last shows.
To quote a friend, "It burns when IP".

88 > 99?

Stop killing me with your inside knowledge.
This just sucks. It’s still a great show and worthy of a few viewings each trip.
I don’t want to see drones.. I don’t want to see Mickey or some marvel character face in fireworks, not in Epcot, never.
