News Round Up 2019

Fully agree - the music was wonderful and they fit so many bits of songs in

The visuals seemed a bit haphazard - like a little of this, a little of that, how 'bout some kites? Need some lasers?

Overall seems like a really solid temporary show but did feel like a temporary show

I would agree with that. The kite part was cool but a bit of a lull. Maybe more lasers or something during that idk? The music is the best part I think.

Part of it might be with the circular nature of bing in the middle of the lagoon, feels like without the Globe to ground or center things something was missing

Honestly, I actually didn't care for that particular musical arrangement. Way too much disjointed jumping from bit to bit without landing long enough on any of the songs that would have kicked in my nostalgia. Although the show is still less underwhelming to me than Illuminations was.

I do think they could have stuck on some of the songs a bit longer. And the show was pretty short overall so adding a few more minutes just from sticking on each song a bit longer would have helped

The whole new world ending was cringy, it felt very out of place. They could definitely use more things happening during the kite scenes, but overall I enjoyed it

This is the kind of soundtrack I wish Happily Ever After had! Although I will greatly miss Illuminations: Reflections of Earth, this show has a wonderful musical score and some cool effects. I do miss the globe though. That was always a moment of awe.

This is pretty much what I was expecting from the show and why I started referring to it as Epcot’s Eulogy as soon as it was announced.

If it alternated nights with Illuminations, it would be OK. Music arrangements ok, fireworks and show, not what I hoped.

Why not use more original recordings? Starting with a kid and Walt was great...but if I want to hear a kid sing Imagination, I just have to listen to my back seat. I’m not nostalgic about someone else’s kid singing familiar songs. I agree with a pp about not sticking on any other songs long enough to “feel” them. This show didn’t give me any feels except for the Walt parts. It’s definitely one we’ll watch if their there, but wouldn’t make a special trip over to EP just to watch it like I would for HEA at MK.

I am excited to see it - I do think any show is different live vs on video, and glad we will be able to our next trip .... But I don't think it will be upset if that turns out to be our only time seeing it

Wow, rough crowd for a temp show. I am and have been as big an Illuminations fan as anyone and I actually liked the show last night more than I thought I would. But, I didn't expect a full throttle replacement in the temporary show. Just something that hints of what is to come. I think the kites, the newer pyro (the low ones that looked like trees were neat) and just hearing imagination and Walt all will fill the interim nicely and give me hope for the final replacement.

 

[RolloTomasi]

My first thought at hearing Aladdin was oh geez, here we go and I fully expected Frozen to start up. It didn’t, and with A Whole New World being the only bit in there and at the end, I can kind of allow it in a temporary show. With absolutely no knowledge of the what the new permanent show will be I can spin it as a way of bridging the old Epcot with the new Epcot that’s coming. Obviously I may be proven wrong and the next show could be nothing but Elsa freezing the lagoon for a Disney on Ice show but for the next year that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Leave it to defunctland to be sassy about retro Epcot

 

[Tiki Birdland]

Tell that to every show at DHS.

Was disappointed that the Indiana Jones show had this. Seemed that the people picked were the ones from the "fast pass section". There's really no reason for a FP for this show. It's popular but it doesn't warrant a FP.

I love when Disney does something to tell us nothing.
