They didn't. Martin said that though.When did Disney announce this?

I know just pointing out where the info came from.He hinted at it by saying that was the date the ROE premiered, but he didn't say it explicitly. I trust his information, but it's only "official" when Disney announces it.
I must be in the minority, thinking it's been stale for years. I haven't even bothered to see it the last couple of times.
We didn't ask specifically the timeline, but we did discuss that the next time we came would be next fall so this would be the last time we would see Illuminations.
People love to discredit boat captains and bus drivers, but wdwinfo is making posts on it...http://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories...-at-a-replacement-for-illuminations-at-epcot/
So our driver definitely knew a lot about a possible new show, and this was 30 days before any public info like this.
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 show

One factor that may help keep IP limited is the fact that Disney Meetings sells Epcot as an evening experience for large convention groups. Many convention groups like to keep Mickey and his Pals off to the side. .
@The Pho sums its up well. Epcot Forever is the Epcot Eulogy.To be perfectly blunt I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’m sure everyone knows my feelings on IP: “depends on the IP, depends on the attraction it receives.” I’m not sure how I feel about IP being integrated into this. So far I can’t help but think this is a copy of happily ever after for Epcot, but spiced up for international appeal. In my honest opinion I’ve been seeing those calling this the death of Epcot and honestly I can’t help but think it’s an extremely disgusting exaggeration of the truth (I know I’m going to get attacked viciously for that but I’m seeing those who think it’s the end of the world over this, I’m still seeing this with guardians being built!). Maybe I’ve grown up to the point where I can’t criticize an entire project two years away based off of four pieces of preliminary concept art, but I’m leaving it at that. I’m waiting to see Disney prove me wrong with this show, and I believe it’s a possibility
Maybe because this is my generation seeing Epcot, I always interpreted it as “Disney’s discover park” and not as a showcase of technology like the worlds fairs were. That aspect was gone around the time I was born. Everything I’ve seen coming forth still aligns with the idea of “discovery” that I’ve associated with Epcot. Again I think the “eulogy” is a gross exaggeration but only time will tell how this show and Epcot forever will be@The Pho sums its up well. Epcot Forever is the Epcot Eulogy.
The 2020 show is the new direction of Epcot. Fantasy and IP no more Worlds Fair-esque.
Even the discovery aspect will be gone if the new show is any inclination. It looks like it will have incredible tech but completely Disney movie driven should be at a castle park or the studios.Maybe because this is my generation seeing Epcot, I always interpreted it as “Disney’s discover park” and not as a showcase of technology like the worlds fairs were.
