Disney has released a new piece of concept art for the upcoming 'Luminous The Symphony of Us' nighttime spectacular at EPCOT in Walt Disney World.

Notably, this latest rendering includes a first look at the show's centerpiece, which looks like a brightly lit column. The surrounding area is also very brightly lit, obscuring any further details.

I really don’t get having the narration at the beginning and end but leaving out the middle. Also due to doing this is makes tracks “Luminous Family” and “Luminous Romance” unnecessary as they are only 30 seconds or so long, and would normally have narration. I think the only reason they are their own separate tracks is so when “Family” and “Romance” start it goes straight to the song without an instrumental first.

Much appreciated lol. I’d do it myself but lack means to do it currently. Would be great to have the original audio file of the recording or whatever it is, for best quality. I know I already said this but for me I can deal with the lack of narration, it’s the intro that’s bugging the heck out of me lol. The drum segment is not commercially available like the rest of pre show songs are correct? Even if it was the chant wouldn’t be a part of the song I don’t think? 🤔

Likely just the tracks that are currently unavailable for streaming. This isn't at all uncommon with albums with multiple artists, actually. Getting the streaming rights lined up with multiple artists/writers/etc. can be a real pain. Since all tracks are available for purchase, it's almost certainly an issue with cleaning up the streaming rights. Go look at the original Aladdin soundtrack and you'll notice that (on Apple Music in the US at least), the Robin Williams tracks are unavailable, and on the extreme end the American Graffiti soundtrack has 8 of the 20 tracks unavailable for streaming from that album, even though you can stream the unavailable songs individually from the artist profiles. EDIT: And in the shifting world of streaming, Apple Music either resynced with my library or they updated the availability recently (as in the last few days since I played the album on Saturday), because for the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack version the Robin Williams tracks now show as available, BUT on the Special Edition soundtrack version the Robin Williams tracks are still unavailable. Go figure that one out.

@wdwmagic I was looking at this thread and found this post... were you talking about the DS drone show or something else for 2024?

Leaked was recorded audio, so it didn't differentiate. Preshow is anything before 9pm 😂

What was the leaked version though? Or was that a recording? The drums I could understand thats more part of the pre show, but the chants I thought was part of the show?

TTA949 hours ago

Yes the actual show version lol 😂. I know not gonna happen.

I'm guessing the missing tracks, I don't think there's anything else to add.

More new tracks? Or just the missing tracks?

Post from a production stage manager at EPCOT: "Luminous has preliminarily dropped on Spotify and Apple Music. From what I hear more tracks are coming!".

He did originally greenlight this show...

I'll volunteer, once I find those missing songs...

This is not a source recording, but it's one of the best 'home recorded' versions out there. One can rip the soundtrack and use Audacity to chop it up into individual sound tracks for what one is missing...
