It shouldn’t mean that.Wondering if the electric upgrades will mean a new show is still a long time away?

We didn't ask specifically the timeline, but we did discuss that the next time we came would be next fall so this would be the last time we would see Illuminations.We took an Illuminations Cruise a couple of weeks ago with another DIS family. I asked our captain (who's been working at the YC marina for a decade and a CM for like 25 years) about this and he said it's true and they've already been testing the new show. @MrInfinity , do you remember what he said the timeline was? Was it the end of this year?
People love to discredit boat captains and bus drivers, but wdwinfo is making posts on it...No offense but a boat captain isn't going to know much about a possible new show.
That article which is info from the Orlando Sentinel has nothing to do with a boat captain. Reedy Creek has approved nearly $2 million in electrical upgrades to the lagoon. It’s been rumored for well over a year now that a new illuminations show is coming. As of right now no new pyro has been tested at Epcot.We didn't ask specifically the timeline, but we did discuss that the next time we came would be next fall so this would be the last time we would see Illuminations.

So our driver definitely knew a lot about a possible new show.
I remember the Tapestry of Nations parade and while I loved the theme, it seemed like every. single. time. we were in the WS the parade was going on. Trying to get around those crowds with the narrow spaces to get to dinner was a nightmare, although my family will have the song burned into their brain forever. El La Oh Oh Oh El La......
Can't imagine a parade in the WS now with the crowds. Interesting article, thank you for posting the link!

There is no refurb scheduled at this time.I wondered if Illuminations was going to be under referb next month when we are there...after the electrical upgrade announcement and also no Frozen Ever After Dessert party listed in September. Every time I have contacted Disney about the party, they say "wait for openings" but nobody seems to know "if" it will be held.
After nearly 20 years of delighting Epcot guests through music, fireworks, fire torches and more, we wanted to let you know that “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” will be ending in the second half of next year. The Disney Parks Live Entertainment team is already busy creating new thrills to debut immediately following the conclusion of “IllumiNations,” continuing the tradition of nightly entertainment on the World Showcase Lagoon.Officially confirmed by Disney!

It’s been pretty widely known that an illuminations replacement was coming for a long time now.Sad.
But hey what happened to the amazingly accurate inside source that in new it was coming in September 2018?
Don’t make me cry..."We’re gathered here tonight, around the fire — as people of all lands have gathered for thousands and thousands of years before us — to share the light, and to share a story. An amazing story as old as time itself, but still being written. And though each of us has our own individual stories to tell, a true adventure emerges when we bring them all together as one. We hope you enjoy our story tonight: Reflections of Earth."
(Blows out the lights.)
Sad.
