So this is their response to the abysmal guest reaction? Double down on it and hope that a glossy D+ special no one will watch will convince people that it is "good"?

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Well, I am excited for the special, I love Harmonius so more chance to see it and about it is good to me

Would be nice to know if Epcot is celebrating July 4th..............

Saving everyone the time:

I really doubt it'll be done to the level of Cliff.

It is weird to have a promo event for this show. Perhaps the mumbles of it, while having a good guest reaction, isn't pulling the numbers they want for how much this thing cost them.

Optimistic view might be that they want to turn it into D+ content for some return on their investment before they implode the garbage infrastructure?

If you ask me I'd rather see a Celebrity Circus special than this....

Maybe instead of D+, maybe Epcot should spend money on a July 4th Tag!!! If one is already planned, I apologize.

It's only June. How soon do you need to know? LOL.

Sorry It's frustrating. Surely they know by now.

I'm sorry too! ESP if I'm too early. I can never remember when Epcot confirms/Announces July 4th. I never worried about it before since ROE's Brilliant July 4th Show was just about a given.

Weren't there camera crews there a month or two ago?

Still pales to Illuminations

Any idea about potential impacts on guests? We are arriving Friday and will be there 8 days. Wondering about times to avoid the park.

It's a very different show - I love Illuminations, made an extra trip just to see it one last time, etc, but it ran for 14 years, I understand replacing it

I like a lot of aspects of Harmonius, definitely not a perfect show but at least they tried something "big" and it has grand elements.

I also know a lot of people that found Illuminations boring so never going to please everyone

One impact is the stage is already being assembled which impacts one of the good viewing areas for Harmonius

"The only impact on guests is having the show in the first place"

 

[MisterPenguin]

Oh, wait, I just realized that this is "Live."

What happens if it rains?

Maybe the previous filming was a back up?

Or it won't be fully 'live'?

Yeah not fully live.
