Another excellent review, written as only Arthur can! We're going to Disneyworld in April and until reading this article, I wasn't even aware of this new show. Thanks Arthur, for bringing this to my attention!

As a non-recovering history buff, I may never get over the loss of my all time favorite Disney night show - IllumiNations! I have not seen the new show yet and your review of vast improvement over the last two "replacements" is encouraging. Thanks for the info.

I haven't seen the show yet, but after the gorgeous original score of "Reflections of Earth" (which I still listen to on a regular basis...great piece of music), I was disappointed to hear that most of this show is repurposed Disney film songs. I like that there is also some new music in it though. I find it interesting that you refer to "I See the Light" as a lesser-known song. This is the fifth show/parade that it's been used in. (Yes, I've been tracking the movie songs used in shows and parades. Is that obsessive?)

Thanks for the review. I'm looking more forward to seeing it now.
