NEW EPCOT Luminous: The Symphony of Us Fireworks Multi-Cam Show | EPCOT

Join us for the all new nighttime spectacular, Luminous the Symphony of Us, which debuted Dec. 5, 2023, at EPCOT!
Through the power of music, the show journeys through life, loss and love. It reveals how we all bring our unique selves to form a great symphony of life - and yet how we are more alike than different. It's the perfect way to end the night with fireworks, fountains, lights and music around World Showcase Lagoon. You'll recognize many Disney ballads like "You'll Be in My Heart," "You've Got a Friend in Me" and "Remember Me". Two original songs were also created for Luminous- "Heartbeat Symphony" and "Beating of Our Hearts" (Notice a theme here?

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 has started. 🎉🎉 New subscriber to your channel. Amazing job on the video. Loved the moving shots. Made you feel as if we were there. Colors and sound were great. Congrats. 🎉

[@undercovertourist]

Thanks so much!

[@allenlj5165]

Didn't catch this the first time, but hearing Walt say the last "Welcome" about broke me! It was already beautiful having each country say it in their respective language, but to end with the man himself....god the feels. Also the intertwining of When She Loved Me and Remember Me (In Spanish) is like Emotional Poison, like its the purest distilled form of feels. Especially when prefacing it by saying "and we're all alone." like DISNEY DON'T DO THIS TO ME! Also the whole call and response Frozen 2 thing, sing and the world will sing back to you, with the pavilions lighting up was Genius! Will it ever replace Illumantions, heck no! I still believe Disney could have done better by ending with We Go On, from Illuminations, but hey beggars can't be choosers. At least this is a massive coherent improvement from Harmonius.

[@jazzyjen5083]

Agree completely!!!!

[@GuyGenie73]

I wish they'd just put a little bit of a pause between Walt's welcome and that blast of fireworks. Just that half second for you to realize Walt Disney just said welcome. I think this detail is amazing but too many people are missing it because the welcome and the blast from the sea wall fireworks is happening simultaneously. They just need to separate those two by a half second.

[@jazzyjen5083]

@@GuyGenie73I agree since I completely missed it until people pointed it out

[@bondjames628]

@@GuyGenie73 definitely a pause and a little more emphasis/‘oomph’ with Walt’s “welcome”. I completely missed it the first watch through.

[@Coaster.Thrills]

I thought harmonious was amazing and when I watched the last show I was so sad but then I saw luminous and it was incredible! I’ve watched this video over 20 times 😂

[@reubenvarzea]

Think you all have the best recording so far. The audio is easily the best I’ve heard to this point, and really enjoyed the cuts. The moving shots from behind folks watching the show really made it feel more real! Can not wait to see this live!

[@undercovertourist]

Thank you so much! We are very happy that you enjoyed it 😊

[@thomasbohannan2699]

Agreed. This is by far the best quality version of the show on KZbin.

[@thewiz2003]

The way you captured the finale is breathtaking

[@undercovertourist]

Thank you!

[@WhatAGeekProductions]

0:54 this moment with Walt Disney’s voice welcoming us to the show underscored with a few triumphant notes of Pinar Toprak’s EPCOT anthem gives me goosebumps. Great moments in this show. I think this is a worthy sequel of sorts to IllumiNations.

[@laurenaninsman8381]

I never cried so hard at a firework show in my life. Truly so amazing to experience this show in person 🥹❤️

[@utopiaa_1775]

this video is incredible!! the cutting between angles and high quality audio really makes it feel like an official disney video - makes up for not getting a debut livestream for luminous like we did with epcot forever and harmonious

[@undercovertourist]

Wow, thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@davidpeterson6609]

The ending looking over at spaceship earth with the illuminations globe animation, playing on. It is perfect. That sold me on the show.

[@louudini1123]

I’ve seen this 3 times. I teer up when at the end the ball turns into the earth. Festival of the arts is my first ever Disney experience I’m 35 but I got so obsessed I bought an annual pass. Thing like this are healing for me after how life’s been

[@danielleyoung2002]

Had no idea Spaceship Earth lit up! Loved the different shots and the audio quality is incredible. Great job!

[@undercovertourist]

Yes, we loved seeing Spaceship Earth light up along with the show! Glad you enjoyed it!

That’s one of my favorite parts ❤❤❤❤ My other favorite part is all of the welcomes

now THIS is a good successor to IRoE ❤ i love the music so much and i love how they implemented Spaceship Earth into the show

[@martafrederick5503]

illuminations and Luminous has got two soundtracks with finales

[@martafrederick5503]

The one with We go on and beating of our hearts

[@shopmobgm]

I'm afraid I think this show is lacking that special something. I have been visiting EPCOT from the UK since 1986. The Illuminations show will always be the best in my eyes.

[@normapenetta5940]

I completely agree. They never should’ve changed it. This new one is better than the last one but it’s like a knock off of Illuminations. Illuminations was so moving and one of the reasons I love Epcot. If they’re smart they will bring it back for one of the many anniversaries they’re always celebrating, and they’ll keep it. Progress and change are wonderful but there is also a time when you can’t fix perfection.

[@timslee0618]

I think for the theme song the Reprise short version should of been at the beginning and the long version that was at the beginning should of been at the ending as the huge build up to the grand finale. I think Disney was trying to some type of mix-up fusion style of Illuminations + Harmonious = Luminous?

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

Luminous the symphony of us has the same breath as illuminations

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

Disney songs will bring the message to illuminations and stand Together as one

[@jazzyjen5083]

Love it so much!!!!!! Not illuminations but much better than Harmonious ❤. Original music for the win

[@regularjosh1]

Best filming of this show so far. Love the different angles you catch! It was in a way cinematic! Very good job! Luminous is best during both it's Beginning and Finale sequences. Those are the strongest components to this show, where as everything else needed a lot of work. Fireworks were amazing, especially those hearts! That was cool. Music wasn't the best in the middle, though. I'd give Luminous a 6/10!

[@undercovertourist]

Wow thank you so much! Thanks for sharing your take on the show, we love to hear what everyone thinks!

[@regularjosh1]

@@undercovertourist You're very welcome ^^

Finale sequence That was powerful as illuminations I’d give it as 17/10

[@CorinneBlackstone]

My gosh the part about the melody’s going away…. And the music at that part just absolutely heartbreaking and beautiful

[@kfmckeever]

Fantastic video! Love the different camera shots; especially the moving shots behind the crowd. This is the first video I’ve seen with closeups of the barges - so cool. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@undercovertourist]

So happy you enjoyed the video! We love that you enjoyed the moving shots and the close ups!

[@Cinkadeus]

This is the first recording I've heard Walt's "Welcome"... THE FEELS!!!

[@jonathanwilliams9359]

I loved this show. It’s nice getting to watch it again.

[@bondjames628]

I absolutely love the inclusion of Walt’s “welcome” at the intro of the show. I will say I wasn’t a big fan of Harmonius. It was just an ok show, but I felt it was more an intellectual property push only, and didn’t embody the feel or representation of EPCOT and World Showcase. Conversely, I’m a huge fan of the late Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. And I must say, while not perfect, Luminous brings back that feeling of togetherness, hope, and the overall vibes that Illuminations gave us in the past.

[@charherd-shallenberger1955]

Amazing! There are several of the multi-camera shots that are brilliant! What a great show! I was crying as soon as Walt said 'Welcome'!

[@undercovertourist]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kevb7451]

The strongest parts of this show was its original instrumental pieces. I wish Disney could stop relying on IP at Epcot. Also, imagine if these barges moved during the show or if they were moving barges during the show. That would add some more kinetic energy. Overall, I thought the show was good much better than harmonious, but not better than illumiNations.

[@이마크-r8e]

Agreed! If only the barges were moving, giving it more life than just being there. Maybe even implement jetskis just like Believe! Sea of Dreams in TDS and more mini fountain barges around the lagoon to make it more grand.

[@johnmarkfrederick8245]

I saw this back in February during a company event. It was absolutely amazing to see in person. Have to admit, being able to hear the music over the fireworks makes it hit a bit harder than when I was there.

[@mattmancuso4902]

The transition from the I See the LIght to the Beating of Our Hearts.. with the SSE lit up with the globe effect.. Just brilliant.. Reflections of Earth easter egg

[@samhendrian8658]

I love how this show dares to address the reality of loneliness and depression, albeit subtly. As a former "Rivers of Light" cast member at Animal Kingdom, I feel like it is a perfect spiritual followup to that now-defunct show.

Metz Gateway

[@JustinatorxX]

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but at 11:24 the only colors on display were Yellow and Blue. Is this in reference to the War in Ukraine?

[@starship824]

I'm pretty sure you're reading into this way too much in that specific moment. It's probably because in the song they say "through the summer and the fall" so it's probably meant to represent summer in the lyrics of the song.

Most Disney movies deal with death in some way- why is it a surprise it’s factored into a fireworks show

[@pallafox]

@@jazzyjen5083 there hasn't been a literal in dept dive into the subject on a spectacular night time show. That's usually reserved with their films. Don't act as if its a topic that Disney easily pushes especially in the parks, most of their programs are about celebration so this in fact caught most people off guard especially the coincidental tie of into the unknown and i see the light.

[@turcj]

I totally disagree. I love the show just as it is.

[@jaiofficialmusic]

I agree with bard. What was so great about Illuminations is that the music itself gave us the meaning and let's us think on our own what that meant to ourselves. Meanwhile Luminous still had to do the thinking for us, so it wasn't as impactful. Still, I love this show more than Harmonious, so awesome job Disney. It's starting to feel like EPCOT again
