Epcot Forever

What it is, is a giant tease. I mean obviously wait for the final product, but Epcot Forever seems fitting of the park than Happily Ever Around the World™.

I can't be the only one seeing the irony of a show called Epcot "Forever" closing after one year

Also, Happily Ever Around the World is a great descritption of what I'm expecting

They focus-grouped "Epcot Gone Forever" as a name, but were surprised to find most felt - despite the honesty of it - it was too much of a bummer!

Also, "Remember When Epcot Was Cool?" was floated around as well.

In the latest Mickey Monitor (AP Magazine), it talks a bit about Epcot Forever. Saying that the show "captures the spirit of the Park in five amazing acts: inspiration, exploration, innovation, imagination and celebration." The article also hilariously insinuates that Epcot opened in 1988 by saying "Fireworks and lasers have been a park of Epcot's nighttime spectaculars since the beginning of the Park in 1988."

That date mistake is unfortunate.

In any case, I have every confidence "Epcot Forever" is going to be a better show for me than "Celebrate Disney Music" coming next year.

Logo revealed for Epcot Forever. Couldn't find an actual press copy of the logo from Disney or anything so here it is:

Video of the fireworks and show elements being tested. The show seems really awesome. Like a "Here's everything you liked about Epcot before we destroy it" kinda thing.

Seems promising. Longer show than I was anticipating, too.

That was only like 10 minutes.....

Short but sweet, I'm sure the kites are going to look awesom close-up. But how can they light it so long if it's not LED?

I was expecting something in the 8-minute area.

Fluff piece about recording the music for the show...


Sounds pretty lush. Hopefully the track gets an official release from Disney.

In all honestly, ROE is only like 6 minutes of fireworks when you take away the globe TV part.

I mean you could say the same for other nighttime shows. Just because sections don't have fireworks doesn't make them filler.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a rehearsal show on the 30th?

 

[darkridelover]

Um... there were no drones. I enjoyed the music, the fireworks were decent. There was no story. A Whole New World didn't make sense to be in there except to say, we know you like the old Epcot, but we need to force IP's down you're throat so get ready.

The spectacle of it was great as always.

 

[k_peek_2000]

Was great until the Whole New World song lol.

If any of y’all didn’t think they’d add Disney characters to SSE: see this show.
