Disney4me Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 A brand new fireworks show has officially debuted in EPCOT as part of the park’s historic transformation. The new show We got to check out Luminous: The Symphony of Us for ourselves the night it premiered, and while we loved the impressive pyrotechnics and the symphonic soundtrack, not everyone seems to have the same opinion. We’ve heard folks saying they hate the new EPCOT fireworks show — and here’s why. ‘Twas a glorious day when Disney got rid of those eyesores known as the Harmonious barges, with fans (okay, us) rejoicing that World Showcase Lagoon was once again free of anything remarkably hideous in our line of sight. So, it was only logical that Luminous, EPCOT’s new fireworks show, would already have a leg up in that regard. But, it doesn’t seem as though folks are as thrilled with Luminous as we had originally thought. Lasers While the fireworks were impressive, folks can’t help but feel as though we were bamboozled by the replacement barges. Though smaller and screenless, the Luminous barges still played a major role in the show — spouting water when it’s called for. Water barges They’re absolutely gorgeous and help with the overall impact of the show, but some people are disappointed to find that they’re a pretty big aspect of the nighttime spectacular once again — just like the Harmonious barges were. Luckily, the Luminous ones can be removed from the lagoon, but it’s something people weren’t expecting. Luminous We were also originally told that no matter where you were standing along the World Showcase Lagoon, there wouldn’t really be a “bad” place from which to view the show. But, when we saw Luminous, we felt that to get the full experience, you really want a vantage point of everything — including the barges. Luminous: The Symphony of US But, perhaps the most ironic critique we heard was that people actually missed the visuals on the Harmonious barges. They displayed digital recreations of iconic Disney movie scenes and more that went along with the storyline — but this new show was missing that, and people certainly noticed. Toy Story section of Luminous: The Symphony of US Of course, there are also some positive opinions out there too! We overheard folks talking about just how incredible the musical score was for the show. There are two new songs — one at the beginning and the other at the end — with familiar Disney songs in between, all while telling the story of the human journey.
