Not sure if this was mentioned before. Got this from a reliable source. I'm in WDW now and was told last night in EPCOT that the torches will be staying for the 2020 show. According to my source (who by the way, heard the music selections from EPCOT Forever and told me a few things about them, also is watching them rehearse the show at 2am this morning or tomorrow morning), they will be redesigned but still functioning the same way. He said one reason they aren't getting rid of them is because they also use them for the marathons. My source was not a bus driver, food service, general cast member.. but take it however you want to, that's what I was told.
