Jim and Len on Disney Dish dropped a hint on the name to the new Illuminations show, Windows to the World. They say marketing material with that name on it has been making the rounds.

Do we know when current Illuminations is expected to close? I’d like to get around to seeing it one last time. I don’t really go to WDW as much as I used to.
True, I doubt Epcot would go more than a few days/weeks without a nighttime show.Considering illuminations 25 closed days before RoE debuted I imagine late 2019/2020.
The 50th isn't some giant milestone Disney can just go to sleep after. Universal is going to be opening an entirely new third park, which you would figure Disney would be responding to.
I haven't heard much concrete about DHS or DAK besides the likelihood of SW:GE expansion, but Brazil is currently lined up to open in 2023 (contracts are being finalized currently) and a new version of IllumiNations (IllumiNations: Windows on the World) is set to debut around 2022. I'm sure other things will pop up too like the Stitch replacement, Star Tours replacement, and possible expansions. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Frontierland expansion after the 50th and the future of Dinoland is up in the air as well.
I really doubt Disney is just going to go back to doing nothing after the 50th. Maybe not as much, but they will still have a motive to keep adding, especially if Universal is opening a new park as I mentioned.
Remember, IllumiNations has a subtitle currently (Reflections of Earth) and this new version would, what, the fourth version of the show? The subtitle is to give it a separate identity.What is stopping them from just calling it IllumiNations?
This name kind of rubs me a bit...Reminds me of the restaurant name in the old World Trade Centers....Kind of a strange thing to bring up, I know...But I'm not sure I like the name

I was trying to figure it out...I'm normally not a stickler on things like that, but it's a bit unsettlingOh, um, yeah that's why the name rings a bell. That should be changed then...
Very symbolic of what's happening with Epcot as a wholeJim Hill also seems to "confirm" (to the extent that such things are possible with a Jim Hill scoop) that the new show is going to be "character driven."
Wonderful. :yuck:

IllumiNations: ROE is a weird case for me...I want something new, but I don't want the show to leave
I think, from seeing it so many times, I would be able to trigger the show myself down to the second haha@Marni1971 is your man for Illuminations, he knows that show inside out and Id be gobsmacked if he didn't know what is coming.
Whether or not hes ready to spill the beans is a different story.
