That’s my reaction to the Ip infusion rumored for this show. Everything else sounds great though

Yeah, IP is what my response was about. I'm not completely sure about the drones, but I'll withhold judgement on that.That’s my reaction to the Ip infusion rumored for this show. Everything else sounds great though
I’m skeptical as I’ve never seen them in use before (except in the super bowl half time a couple years ago). I’m just really disappointed they’re going this route when I feel like the core message of illuminations is perfect and super deep. I felt like that could’ve been built in with its successorYeah, IP is what my response was about. I'm not completely sure about the drones, but I'll withhold judgement on that.
I hadn't thought of that but something like World of Color would be wonderful! But geared towards the countries, like you said, or unity as people. I don't want to see another show geared towards all the Disney characters. I can see that in the other parks.

Yeah I just never saw that show in person and don’t think I watched any videos of it. But I’m overall confident in their ability to create nighttime shows (I do enjoy rivers of light as well). I’m just very skeptical of IP being in this showWell dosney used the drones for the show at Disney Springs so they have some experience
Though while that was pretty cool definitely think they would need to up their game from that to be truly impressive as part of an EPCOT nighttime show

I don’t mind it in some limited way. I think it could be very natural to have characters be the “ambassador” of pavilions within the show, without it dominating the whole thing.
Of course, I’m a fine one to talk, as I still resent losing the last version of IllumiNations that I saw, back when it still had glorious classical music selections.
yeah, almost a "tapestry of nations" feel, but using Mulan as one element for China, and Mary Poppins for the UK, etc.
I don't really understand this. I can sorta see North pointing to the future and East to Norway but how does South point to America and West to UK?Rumored aspects of new Illuminations show
IP "North, South, East, and West" North points to Future World (possibly guardians), South points to America, East to Frozen/Norway, West to Rat/UK.
Think of the lagoon as a compass. This was a hint given by Martin on wdwmagic. I was just trying to decipher it.I don't really understand this. I can sorta see North pointing to the future and East to Norway but how does South point to America and West to UK?

Ahhh. Got it. I understand it now.Like literally on a map EPCOT is situated with the entrance at due north - so if you are in the middle of the lagoon with a compass north would point to Future World, East would point to the Norway Pavilion, South to the America Pavilion, and West to the UK/France Pavilions
Official date is September 30th, 2019.Not that I'm not excited to see what the new show will be, but my sister and I have been closing out our trips with Illuminations for almost 10 years now and it's become one of our favorite things. It's tough to see it ending after all this time.
That in mind, our next trip is planned for October 2019. If it's ending summer 2019, I wonder if it's worth it to move our trip up to June? Does anybody know when it's expected to officially close? I've only seen summer and it's tough to plan around that...
So any rumors as to whether there will be an immediate replacement or will Epcot not have a show for a period of time?Official date is September 30th, 2019.
