EPCOT FOREVER [4K] Full Show NIGHT MODE | Walt Disney World

[@CLIFFLIX]

Awesome Brayden! Looking forward to getting your opinion of this new show and how you think it stacks up to other Disney nightine spectaculars. Also, would love for you to go back into that Experience room and break down what is going on in there. What are the hidden messages in there? I haven't seen anybody give a deep dive analsys yet! Awe-friggin'-some! Keep up your great work!!!

Honestly, same with whoever made this entire show lol. Ridiculous that they spent so much money to replace Illuminations with this crap shoot 😭

[@michaelmase5498]

@@ariaonquotev4864 They didn't replace Illuminations with this show. This show was meant to simply be the bridge to the new show. They couldn't transition effectively with Illuminations to the real new show (HarmonioUS).

@@michaelmase5498 Well aware this show is not the end all be all considering I'm a WDW CM lol. Honestly in my opinion, the "can't transition to the real show" excuse by Disney is a lie. That argument quite simply does not hold up, nor does it make any sense.

8:06 "Catch It" -- That part gives me crazy nostalgia!! Glad to hear people cheering and clapping when it played. Same with Tapestry of Nations 👌🎆

That's because it was the only piece of illuminations there. The show created when Disneys message was still about Hope and Love.. now we turn to an IP and $$$ era

Felt like an in Memoriam. RIP old Epcot, here are some memories. Get ready for "A Whole New World". I'm all for the refurb and this was a nice show, but it felt sad. Great coverage, thank you.

[@bleep.bloop.]

I love how nobody clapped when a whole new world started playing

[@MickeyViews]

And the huge claps for Tapestry!

[@ecoRfan]

Mickey Views - All Things Disney News EXACTLY what I was thinking. Huge cheers during Tapestry of Nations.

[@CLIFFLIX]

Right on point. The crowd CLEARLY let it be known where their heart was most!

[@ecoRfan]

That's what you can expect from hardcore EPCOT fans. They go wild during Tapestry but stay silent during Whole New World. Now while this sample might not be all park-goers, I hope Disney is taking note. Clearly Tapestry did something right.

[@HighonBoots]

ecoRfan just the whole nod to the whole millennium celebration was the biggest

[@misplacedmtnman]

This show makes me sad and seems like a final kiss goodbye to the classic EPCOT attractions that had memorable theme songs, impressive animatronic effects and groundbreaking ride systems back when Disney focused their efforts on "edu-tainment" pavilions that the whole family could enjoy together. The show should be called "EPCOT GONE FOREVER."

[@FateFallenShort]

CHA CHA CHA! has got to be the best part of all of this. I don't know why it made me laugh and smile so much!

[@crystalwilder]

this was better quality than what Disney did for their live show last night. Actually could see the lasers and can see how close the kites came to everyone. It was amazing!!!

[@BansheeResearch]

The lasers are based on how much the smoke from the fireworks sticks around. It definitely looks better with more smoke

[@tim1694]

Yeah, I can show you the world was a strange addition to a show consisting of only Epcot tunes, but remember guys, it was probably just the most logical way to incorporate the "world showcase", as the world showcases purpose is to Litterally *show you the world*

[@Wiggybotton]

This was the best video on EPCOT Forever that I have seen. This is the first one I have seen where the audio mix was perfect. Other videos, I have seen, the jet ski and firework noises overtook the music and dialogue. When I heard "A Whole New World", initially, I was put off by it. However, it does work as a representation of the World Showcase, I guess. I think it will grow on me. It was great talking to you the day before SWGE opened. I'll keep my eye out for you in the parks :)

[@pvallis7]

Thank you, Brayden! I’m still processing my thoughts on the show itself but your video of it is wonderful! And, without your awesome work we’d all still be in the dark worrying. You have taken your work to a whole new level since the move! An already awesome channel has gotten so much better! Keep up the great work. Like others here I can’t wait to hear your analysis of Epcot Forever.

[@maxpaolillo8004]

Loved hearing Walt talk about EPCOT, best part for me.

[@CLIFFLIX]

I honestly dont know what to think of this show. I feel "numb" about it. I think I'm still grieving the passing of Reflections of Earth. It's just too soon for me to jump into a new show objectively. I dunno....maybe after a few more showings, it will grow on me. Just right now?....uggg,...I dont know what to think about it.

Ever have a great old dog that died? You are heart broken and your mom takes you to the shelter to find a new dog....but you dont like ANY of them because they are not the dog you miss and love. Thats how I feel. I still have my old dead dog in my heart.

[@Faps2010]

In my case I know how I feel. I don't like it. I miss a great soundtrack, a wonderful story. This show is more about fireworks, but it will probably be very popular.

[@tcamp1435]

Just bring RoE back. This show makes me cringe. You won’t catch me staying to watch this at the end of the night.

[@weirsgarage]

I really like those high intensity color beams of light on the smoke. really adds a lot of color over what standard lasers ever provided.

[@warpedg]

Ok, after watching other videos and live streams of this yesterday I wasn't impressed. I've changed my mind after watching this version. Brayden, you blew the others out of the lagoon! You captured the colors, lasers and pyro so much better than even the Disney Park feed. It still seems a bit lackluster in spots but this video definitely made it look much more impressive.

[@Paulo-fg7yq]

Of all the Epcot Forever videos on YT, including the one on the official Disney channel, this is by far the best video. It's the only one that I watched from beginning to end. Hats off to you, Brayden! And what about that stunning moon on background? Beautiful!

[@ecoRfan]

Mostly a decent show that feels that feels hardcore to the park’s history but the last three minutes really say a lot about the future direction of the park becoming IPCOT. (Intellectual Property Community of Tomorrow).

[@josephbrown9685]

This is a good summation of the show. I really liked the integration of the classic Epcot music, particularly the part with Kitchen Kabaret, but the ending with “A Whole New World” feels wrong and out of place. The show makes me miss old Epcot.

[@ecoRfan]

@@josephbrown9685 Don't get me wrong, the arrangement and performance of AWNW here is excellent. The context royally fails considering the rest of the show is classic Epcot music.

[@ecoRfan]

Joseph Brown by the way which part is Kitchen Kabaret? And what is the hoedown at 2:33?

[@josephbrown9685]

ecoRfan 6:12 is when “Veggie Fruit, Fruit” starts, the most memorable song from Kitchen Kabaret and it’s intertwined with “It’s Fun to be Free” from World of Motion and “Imagination.” The section ends at 6:52. The hoedown at 2:33 is “Listen to the Land,” the theme song from the original version of the Living with the Land boat ride. I’m an old school Epcot Center fan. I visited there a lot throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The classic era of the park in my opinion was from 1982 to 1996, when World of Motion closed to be replaced by Test Track. Everything changed drastically a few years after that with the removal of Horizons and the original Journey Into Imagination. Epcot has lost much of it’s original identity that separated it from typical theme parks. There are several things I like about current WDW, particularly how Animal Kingdom has improved so much, but I will always miss the original feeling of Epcot Center. The near future changes might be good to some degree but we’ll never again have the edutainment based park.

[@ecoRfan]

@@josephbrown9685 Okay. First time I went to Disney World was 1998. I didn't see Reflections of Earth in full until 2008 on a school trip because my family would want to leave the park early the other times in the 00's. The biggest complaint I have about IPCOT is that it's based off fiction, while original Epcot Center was based off nonfiction and science.

[@ukelijah]

Amazing video quality. I haven’t had chills and goosebumps like that since the first showing of Illuminations 2000. I was there. It never got old.

[@robtomasulo]

That was an amazing show and such a high quality video! I heard everything clearly. Brayden, you do a wonderful job. I actually watched it on a stream last night and didnt really see it or hear it as well so i was unsure of my feelings about it. After seeing your video tho i have to say illuminations reflections of earth will always be a wonderful show but this, this was fantastic and i loved illuminations very much. In my opinion I really think this blew it away. Seriously, just an amazing show! Loved it. Thank you so much Brayden for bringing us with you!

[@amesbeau4857]

I agree. I watched the live stream last night and it missed a lot of the detail and nuance. Constantly panning and darker images. This captured it all nicely!

[@dappertom7722]

Great job! Just as good as, maybe better than the official Disney World livestream!

[@jiminycrockett6022]

Nice retro music from the extinct attractions. Overall, the show is frothy - bright - great fireworks - but lacks the, um, gravity that Illuminations REflections of Earth had. This show is light entertainment that is forgettable as soon as you walk away.

[@amifres7551]

That 4K is awesome 👏 u can see the stars ✨ in the sky & the crescent moon 🌙 which made it all the more magical!! Thanks 🙏 🌈😄

[@wendyb457]

Ami Fres yes! The camera is so good, not only could you see the crescent, but you could see the entire shape of the moon. INCREDIBLE. Braden is exceptional. Truly a cut above. And yes, better than Disney. I’ll be pissed if they snap him up and take him away from us 😉.

[@amifres7551]

wendy bloedt yes exactly right 😁u can see the whole moon 🌚 🌙 shape! Also the colors of the kites are so vivid and it’s just overall a great video quality. I catch myself watching it often lol plus the music is great. Oh yes u must’ve saw I wrote that on his Illuminations finale interviews video, it’s true he’s so natural & delivers it straight & sweet & I would be sad too! I also see ur name always on resort tv & corys world live chats! Ur comments always so sweet!! Take care!

[@MousePlays]

In my opinion this is better than Illuminations. Here’s why. 1. It includes music from Epcot’s past, present, and future. 2. It has so many great fireworks 3. I like the “Whole New World” at the end, because it shows that Epcot is changing and will become a whole new park, even if it’s intellectual property.

That was fantastic Branden. It’s great to see Epcot moving forward, A wonderful Nostalgic spectacular. I must also congratulate you on the Quality of the picture and sound in this clip. By far the best Ive seen of Epcot Everafter. You can even see the crest moon in the sky.

[@jonathanchilders7335]

Loved this show...EXCEPT for that finale. Whole New World?? What's your Magic Kingdom doing in my EPCOT? They should have just had it end with a grander version of Tomorrow's Child or a snipet of "We Go On" from Illuminations. Also, was this shot on an iPhone 11??

[@ecoRfan]

If You Can Dream It attendance is down quite a bit with construction lately. I went there in November 2017 and the lack of rides was indeed a gripe, especially considering the size of the park. I can’t say IP’s will save the park or not.

[@amesbeau4857]

I am kinda torn on the IPs. I understand its meant to be an attendance boost and to help it compete with the updates to the other parks. I don't really mind the IPs so much, as long as they are done thoughtfully and not in your face like say a Magic Kingdom. I think attendance would be better served by Epcot original stuff though. The Tapestry parade was soooooo memorable for me as a kid. I would rather see more Epcot originals along those lines be made again, as opposed to IPs.

[@6telephone]

IKR? EPCOT just fucked itself up. IllumiNations is waaaay better and this is a FACT! I don't want EPCOT to end up this way.

[@stephaniemc9948]

I loved we go on..

[@davidfeltheim2501]

Unpopular opinion - I think a Whole New World fits the theme perfectly even if it is from an IP, the message is the same. I love the nostalgia of classic Epcot, but also the optimistic look forward. Hopefully Disney does a good job implementing the appropriate IPs after what they have learned this past decade, and maybe we might see a good mixture of Epcot originality and movie representation in the future; perfectly balanced as all things should be.

[@MYKroe]

Wow, that was great Brayden. Thank you for sharing. A brilliant musical homage to former attractions with the wonderful narration and singing by children. Magic Journeys! Veggie, Fruit, Fruit! Tomorrow's Child! I was glad to see the audience enthusiasm when hearing Dreamfinder and Tapestry of Nations. Yes, don't get stuck in the past but don't forget it. I really enjoyed this.

[@alejandrocastro4472]

Great quality video. That being said, I have the feeling this new show is NO step forward compared to the decade old show they shut down. I expected to see a lot of new technology put into work. I read somewhere that drones would have a big part in it, but I don’t feel that using them as kites was really that impressive.

[@ariaonquotev4864]

Agreed. Honestly, I feel like this show is a step BACKWARD from Illuminations. Less epic, no originality whatsoever, seems like they put it together in a rush overnight.

Nice spot! I really like the fire kites but wish they included Dreamfinder instead of using Nigel’s lines

[@BrotherJaysVids]

I personally don't think this temporary show is that good. It was always the power of the music in Illuminations that brought tears to my eyes, the light and fireworks show was just a nice accompaniment. This show felt like they had the LED/Sparkler kites and were very proud of them so they built a show with them, and they felt more like distractions to me. All the callback songs felt like weak attempts to tug at my heartstrings which simply made me want Illuminations back more than ever. I am glad this is only a temporary show, though I am worried that Disney will fall into the same trap when they break out the drones for the next version. Having the tech is not enough Disney, you really need to use said tech to knock our socks off. I hope the next soundtrack is vastly superior to this one as Epcot's show is now one to skip for me. Some will say I just can't handle change which is simply untrue. I have quality standards that I expect Disney to meet. I have these expectations because that is the bar Disney has raised it to in the past with many of their shows. Not so scary parade is a great example of Disney firing on all thrusters. The water show at AK was an example of them asleep at the wheel. I hope they can find their creativity and make magic again. I miss the days when Disney would inspire people young and old alike to dream...

[@tommilano2000]

Yeah I agree. I feel that epcot forever is generic and clichéd and doesn't personify the park well despite its name. IROE was original and emotional to the audience.

[@leonardoferla]

Exactly, Illuminations song is powerful. For me one of the best of Disney. Just the song is able to hit your feelings and the Epcot goal.

[@ariaonquotev4864]

Epcot Forever is a snore and lacks everything that made Illuminations an award winning show year after year. Illuminations was groundbreaking and feels more modern/high tech than this show. Crazy to think they spent money and time on a show that feels like a backpedal.

United Technologies did the same for the Living Seas and AT&T pulled their sponsorship for Spaceship Earth. But for some strange reason, the "World of Motion" (even though it was under different sponsors) was a hit and then Test Track came and took it over and now its better than ever.

8:44 - 9:00 aww that's cute and nostalgic 9:01 WTF IS THIS!?!

[@conchrepublictheband]

Disney could have used “We Go On” to usher in Epcot Forever.

[@ecoRfan]

@@conchrepublictheband The thing and big issue is that head of parks Bob Chapek introduced the show at D23 as celebrating the past, present, and future of the park. Chapek has been instrumental in installing more Intellectual Properties (IP's) into Disney parks. Almost every new attraction in their parks is based of some existing IP, unlike the original properties of Epcot on opening day. The problem with Aladdin in Epcot is that Epcot is supposed to be about nonfiction, while Aladdin is as fantasy as it gets with the Genie and the magic carpet. It's a shame this is the direction Disney wants for their parks. One can claim they did market research, but look to Galaxy's Edge to find that their research doesn't always compute.

[@conchrepublictheband]

ecoRfan absolutely! very familiar with Chapek and his background in Disney Consumer Products. We were at the parks for the Farewell and the Debut of Epcot Forever. Visited Galaxy’s Edge and was impressed/surprised with the abundance of merchandise compared to experience. During the Disney decade, Eisner took branding synergy to a new level but Eiger and Chapek... oh man, the sky’s the limit on marketing those IP’s in place of a true Disney experience.

[@connorj9733]

I appreciate this spectacular video but I feel like this show was just slammed together. All disney nighttime shows have an incredibly detailed flow and connection between story telling and visuals/colors/fireworks. In this one there are awkward gaps, random moments where I felt disconnected from the story, and the drone things are pretty.... the first 30 seconds.

This brings tears to my eyes. I remember all of those songs and all of those rides. I believe I have them all on tape. I have to go trough all of them to see. When that fireworks show was playing at EPCOT, I was a cast member at Walt Disney World. I use to get into all of the four parks for free. Wowww! That is incredible. It really brings tears to my eyes. And you know what? After all of those years working for Disney, I have earned three more degrees including a doctorate degree in accounting which brings me to four degrees, and I have one more semester to complete to get my fifth degree in accountancy this spring in 2023. That is five degrees total including a doctorate degree. God does some miraculous things. Yes He does. He has truly blessed me. I have come a long way since working for Disney and growing up as a kid. I would have never imagine that one day I would have five degrees including a doctorate degree. I am so humble and so grateful because I can't believe how far I have come. Wowwww!!! When I finish this spring guess what I am going to do? "I am going to Walt Disney World!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!
