Luminous the Symphony of Us Debut at EPCOT | Walt Disney World

[@hereinthehub]

The view from the France/UK bridge was fantastic. Many of the Guests around me got emotional. What a great script and choreography with the lighting and fireworks.

[@05nautilus]

Chefs kiss with Walt saying welcome

[@AndreFoster]

This had me sobbing 😭 The part where they covered loss made me think about my grandma who passed a few months ago and broke me. If there's one thing Disney always gets right is hitting you in the feels 🥹

[@williamfitzhugh8332]

This show feels the closest Disney has gotten to Old Epcot feels in a long time! Great show!

[@jmagicfink]

I agree! The pyro was perfectly timed and inventive. The show returns to before we relied on water screens and LED walls to drive the show. This is just pyro, lights and water and I love it! Great work Disney!

[@thedeaconsbench2007]

A knockout! This captures the grandeur, beauty, sentiment and wonder of IllumiNations, but with a message we need now more than ever: what unites us is greater than what divides us. Bravo, Disney. Thank you.

[@wickedwood04]

This gave me goosebumps. Way better the the last show. This feels like epcot.

[@TechWithAndrew]

I agree, people complain it's to slow cause they are use to seeing fast moving fireworks shows, this one is perfect for epcot, it really gives off emotion

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

Nostalgia is still the part of Epcot of putting with Original Planet for Luminous the symphony of us

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

Luminous the symphony of us has brought Original Planet back to Epcot

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

ROE and LTSOU are both hero’s of Epcot

[@ddd8170]

Idk why but the part at 15:51 “and your hearts wide open…” gives me the craziest goosebumps!

[@miamimickey1972]

As a hard IRoE fan, Disney finally got it right. Perfect balance between IP and Original music. Amazing Pyro and tech. No projections, no screens. Just a classic Epcot show about people and community. The show feels perfect for Epcot. Harmonious was a good show at the wrong park. The rebirth of Epcot🎉

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

my favorite part of finale is Come Together as one

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

finale is beautiful the message of illuminations is Together as one

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

illuminations becomes the heart of Epcot is not about Harmonious it’s a message and the story

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

illuminations and Luminous Actually made official Debut at Epcot it’s about music

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

unlike Harmonious there is no story I don’t see the fireworks I only see is water and projection

[@maddiguilinger6328]

You can hear Walt at 1:00 🥺🥹. He says “Welcome” It’s kind of hard to hear. I had to play it back a couple times.

[@wbr9401]

Thank you! 🥹 I missed that, thanks for calling it out! Can’t wait to see & hear in person.

[@maddiguilinger6328]

@@wbr9401 You’re welcome. Someone else told me and I was like “no way” so I had to rewatch it to make sure 😂

[@ashleypr156]

Now THAT is a Disney Fireworks show! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🤩🤩🤩🤩🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@carolynsmith1976]

Thank you Craig! Also nice to hear Molly's thoughts in the background afterwards!! The narration was a little heavy handed, and not sure about the Toy Story inclusion, but an improvement to Harmonious.

[@05nautilus]

Beautiful walking us through life from birth to death while reminding us about humanity and connections we build

[@ShelleyAIC]

Great job Craig & Ryno! I personally prefer this show over the previous one, it is beautiful with use of lighting especially.

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

The Narration actually brought back illuminations in of beginning and finale

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

The Narration is our hero

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

Luminous the symphony of us has the power to bring back illuminations

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

The great symphony of us actually breaks The Panel and brought back illuminations

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

The power of illuminations has ended The Panel Master Plan

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

The Narration and illuminations Globe are Team up together to take down Luminous the symphony of us and The Panel to the ground

[@TMan151993]

The recording I was waiting for!! The best quality out there on KZbin. Nice job guys. Thank you for doing this for us!

[@brianonthescene]

The show design is terrific. The narrative and the associated song choices are way more sentimental than what I’d prefer, but it’s extremely well done.

[@SoxCat123]

Great video Craig and Ryno!

[@caitandrews533]

Excellent Craig!

[@steezygee1]

We attended this last night, what a splendid spectacular display on Christmas Eve!!!

[@JohnAJohnson]

It's great how they can just use Spaceship Earth as the little globe form Illuminations now. Epcot is all about the lighting now.

[@TSF224LL]

Wow, WOW Disney Entertainment!!! Thank you SO much for such a beautiful show, what a great story, with such emotion, for including cultures from around the world, and for creating an AMAZINGLY colorful and spectacular show. This along with Moana convinced us to choose WDW for a trip this spring. I'm SO glad this didn't have projection with a montage of movie clips like so many of the other shows have. The songs chosen help tell the story and help us on the journey. I love the new music as well. Can't wait to see this in person.

[@attractionshubno1]

Great video, this new nighttime spectacular at EPCOT looks incredible

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

Unlike Harmonious I don’t to Disney songs I made think of Luminous the symphony of us actually put the original music and original songs back in the old days of Epcot

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

That makes of illuminations as the original Plant of Epcot this how of Luminous the symphony of us turns back into the old Epcot

[@Pencelia]

Wonder if Disney realized it debuted on Walt's 122 nd birthday? I think it was better than the last one but Illuminations will always hold a special place in my heart. I was a cast member in spring 2000.

[@shawnwhughes]

Yes, that’s why Disney chose December 5th to premiere it!!!

[@olafpamela]

Great Job Dis for bringing us this new fireworks 🎇 👍♥️. This fireworks show is 💯 better😊 Thanks for sharing 🤗 Happy Holidays 🎄🎅

[@MsJoanyg]

I cried a bit watching this!

[@shawnwhughes]

Thanks for this Craig… I was over in Mexico and it was so crowded, as it should have been.

[@lovedfriend2020]

I LOVE this much better! I like its not spread out but I hope other viewing areas get the best view.

[@kellyrager3456]

Thank you! It is not my favorite of all timebut I think I do like it! It is actually the first time I have ever seen Spaceship Earth be so much in it.

[@MuffyHeeler]

YUUUHHH

[@marvelfan281]

Well here I am crying. As always. Loved this show. I wasn't a fan of Harmonious or Enchantment. Luminous gets it right.

[@MickeySightings]

Amazing job guys!!!!

[@HecticEclectic]

Scott Hoying from Pentatonix wrote the main song Symphony of Us.

[@garrettcarter5622]

I think the selection of Disney songs was a little lacking. It feels like there are too few, and the ones they picked I've heard used so often before.

[@williamfitzhugh8332]

I agree with the choice to reuse songs being odd, but I think the way some of the songs were done were some of the best versions of themselves (I prefer Into the Unknown here versus Happily Ever After)

[@bradrobinhancock8491]

Where was this video shot from? It's been a very long time since I've been to EPCOT, but my senses say it is somewhere near the Japanese pavilion? I am basing it solely on the relationship to Spaceship Earth. I do miss Illuminations, but I have to admit the lighting effects on Spaceship Earth are fantastic!

[@ktgrandma2213]

So good craig!!! I agree I knew it was coming but I cried anyway. They could have done it without saying it

[@SanderCorneliusMoy]

Wasn’t able to make it out on this, but does the countries light up?

[@trevorjenkins2590]

@TheDIS, I have a first question, actually two questions Does this soundtrack will be iTunes with the lyrics? And when this soundtrack comes out on iTunes?

[@shawnwhughes]

I’ll take a stab at this; that is going to be Disney’s call as to if it’s going to be released on music streaming platforms and when.

[@AnakinSkywalker_1858]

Disney never releases soundtrack for their American parks which is really stupid On the other hand Tokyo and Paris release every soundtrack So you're gonna hunt KZbin for the clean soundtrack

[@laurenzimman4842]

Thanks Craig and Ryno.

[@Bur6212]

Same pause at the end and same voice saying “you are the magic” at the MK show, Enchantment

[@mumstheworld]

Some of the music choices were good. And its pretty but I just dont think its great. Really wish we could just get a plussed up Illuminations back.

[@JoeLahTheDisneyGay]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@IUmusicBoi]

Stop it with the IP Disney. Lose the screaming people and bring back a story told in fireworks and music like illuminations that told the story of the Big Bang that at least had something to do with Epcot.

[@toddsimmons6003]

Well, that was boring as hell. Come on Disney, come up with some new and innovative beside some moving heads and fireworks. Geez...
