Maybe for the IP inclusion, they can have Thanos snap his fingers and Elsa and Anna disappear into dust.

Only one disappears let her go.

Epcot is getting Rivers of Light and DAK gets Illuminations....feel the burn DinoLand seating area.

Maybe it will be a 20 minute tribute to Vampirina doing the baby shark dance.



And no, I will not apologize for making anyone watch that. I am indeed that cruel and heartless.

*Insert bannable word here*

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

Not Skymousephere?

 

[ThatMouse]

Rivers of Light is dumb because AK is really not a great night time park. The resistance to IP from fans comes from EPCOT originally being able to hold its own. We loved it BECAUSE it wasn't movie based. IP takes ZERO imagination. Projecting movie clips on things takes ZERO imagination.

Forcing movies where they don't belong will become Disney's version of screens. The fatigue will set in and it will affect the final product.

It's like we just had Marcus Aurelius for several decades and now we're stuck with Commodus. This sucks. Lots of bad news lately.

If anyone is interested in the Drone aspect of any future show Disney does have the appropriate FAA waivers for UAS (unmanned aircraft systems)

I find it funny that if there were a 'fireworks show' running for 20 years anywhere else in the World everyone would complain because it had run for so long. Yet, when at Disney, everyone is losing their minds and would prefer for it to run for another 20 years. Changes is good folks, without it Disney would become stagnate.

It was my favorite show... it had amazing story telling and was spectacular. But after 20 years, I understand they need to bring something new. I hope that it will be on par with RoE. I love "real" effects (fireworks, fire, etc.). I'm not sure that a drone show will be as spectacular, but let's see. And I hope they'll not forget to have a amazing story to tell us, not just do a drone show with characters.

While I’m sad to see it go it’s time. I can’t wait to see what Disney comes up with as a replacement.

Because most other fireworks shows suck...

...like rivers of light.

Some change is good, some is bad, I will judge this change when I see the replacement.

No disagreement with what you wrote except to point out that IP makes sense in the Magic Kingdom, not necessarily so much in Epcot.

Imagine if they used that new technology to give us something unique-ly Epcot.

I agree, I don't like IP, but I remember when EPCOT Center had NO characters at all. So, that ship sailed
long ago. Though I agree with you, I know that it is what it is, so I will make the best of it.

NO! You must assume things and judge prematurely and inflict your wishes upon them and threaten to never go again!

 

[Atomicmickey]

Special for us as well as we were married at epcot, had a dessert party specifically for illuminations . "Promise" was our wedding song as well.. so we feel your pain as we see everything of our wedding aside from our ceremony disappear next year, we knew it wouldnt last forever though I guess

Hey, at least we're still married, lol!

Sorry, forgot the forum rules there for a minutes, it won't happen again.

I rather would've heard that Disney was planning on taking down Fantasmic! for an extensive refurbishment next year. That nighttime spectacular really needs the updating more imo and given new tech/stuff.

Only saw RoE a couple times, but it was still a wonderful show to watch from wherever in world showcase, but my memories serves that Japan as my favorite.

Fantastismic is soooo tired and frankly a really juvenile show...

I don’t begrudge fans of the magic kingdom shows...I get the ambience appeal.

But fantismic is really a one and done quality if that.

Here’s hoing this maintains a FIREWORKS based show with a moving, stirring soundtrack.

Epcot also has the BEST celebration finales!!!! NYE, Peace on Earth, Epcot anniversaries, etc....here’s hoping they stay in your face awesome firework spectaculars too
