Looks like a new temporary show could debut later this year and be in place until 2020 when the big new show debuts according to Martin on WDWMagic.

#907I didn't see anything about this on wdw magic....don't mess with my emotions. Got a link?
I use WDWMagic as a source of information for a lot of things. Several now confirmed projects came from those boards.I don't see another message board as being a go to source of information. No offence.

Martin (author of said rumor) is a highly trusted Epcot insider. He is very rarely wrong and only posts when he’s verified a few different places.
If they debut it later this year that's over a year with a "temporary" show. What is the reason they don't just leave Illuminations until it's replacement is ready - why do they add a temporary show? Serious question, I'm sure there is a reason?
Good question. My assumption would be that they would be working on the actual hardware for the shows like the barges, the globe, or other elements. If they were working on these they might not be able to run the normal show and have to run the replacement show until the new one is ready to go.
New and "temporary" shows are often for us -- the repeat visitors to draw us to the park that just doesn't have a lot to offer right now (especially since we go so often).
If there was a new show at Epcot, I would probably make time to see it on my trip in the Fall. If it was just Illuminations, despite it being a cool show, I've seen it already and would probably opt skipping the show to get the young kids to bed at a decent time and save the late night for a different night show.
not to mention the "say goodby to Illuminations" t-shirts and cupcakes and what not
Weird. I've seen the show at least a dozen times and I don't recall the globe ever malfunctioning.
It failed to open at least two times out of the four we saw it last August.
