Just came back from my very first trip to Disney world. Epcot was my very first day and very first park of Disney world. I walked in seeing the big dome. Hearing this. Burst into tears. Large potion of it was 100% this beautiful music's fault. After 20+ years of dreaming of coming to Disneyworld, I'm finally here and the magic begins right now. 2 magical weeks later, Epcot was my last day before I fly home. Listening to it again now back in the UK, I'm on a bus and can't lift my head up because everyone will see my face is just wet.
Was at Epcot Dec 2023 right after my grandfather died. I was next to mission space with my almost 2 year old at the time while waiting for my wife and then 6 year old. There was a moment that I will always remember where I sat while my son roamed safely where I could see him. The absolute joy and just pure happiness I could see in him in that moment and then he sprinted to me and hugged me so tightly. This music was in the background and I had this flood of emotions that I couldn't explain and nearly broke down crying...it was honestly one of my most beautiful memories as a father and something I'll forever cherish. I've been back to Epcot 3 times and each time I hear this music, I'm overwhelmed with emotion and wonder. I've always loved Epcot, but it hits different for me now.
This is genuinely great. The theme is memorable and feels ethereal and futuristic with a level of magic too. I love when it drifts into various country/culture sounds and then the theme comes back in those settings. Gonna be listening to this a lot
Thanks for posting this! I really, really like this new music. It's funny because I said a few times that I'd love to hear a whole music loop using the Beacon Show as inspiration with Pinar's excellent theme, and here it is!
They tore down a building then rebuilt half of it, ripped out a foundation and put in a seating area and some gardens and a walk through attraction. That is far from a rebirth and it only took 4 years. Let’s not forget they are on their 3rd or 4th new fireworks show too in that time. Not good.
@@jackylsmith8138 Oh Please...I'm sorry Disney isn't the same as it was 30yrs ago. FFS stop living in the past and move on. Disney isn't always going to the same Disney of your childhood so get over it. People complain because Disney never changes and then people complain when Disney changes.
I have no problem with change itself. Yes, attractions can and should evolve and be enhanced. But Disney fundamentally changed the premise of EPCOT Center and has drifted away from the high-quality imagineering tied to that vision of inform, inspire and entertain and instead chose to focus on characters, festivals and booze. @@ducktails1695
Just got back from a trip and this was by far my favorite music loop I heard. I actually got emotional listening to it in the park while looking at my family.
This is a great background loop. It's hard to not let my love of the old Epcot music loops negatively impact my feelings, but I quite enjoy the cinematic style of this, and I really appreciate that it is original music for the park. I'm relatively unfamiliar with the composer, but this makes me want to listen to some of her other work.
They should put a shortened maybe 1 min bit of the future world(innoventions theme in this loop). It’s so iconic and big part of Epcot history. It wouldn’t hurt.
it certainly no innovations, but tbh imagine hearing the SAME background music over and over and over again decade after decade, even for someone like me whos hesitant to change, that would get very old lol
Perfect. I was kinda terrified about what this area's music was going to be, but I couldn't ask for anything better. A-fucking-plus. Thank you. I actually sat under the trees in World Celebration with big smile on my face thinking, " Look what they did with my park. I'm so proud."
I live in Nebraska west of Omaha. It’s a treat to be able to see Epcot and listen to the music and reminisce. We were there in April and I love the place so thank you for sharing. I appreciate it.
Makes my eyes water every time I come back to this music. I just recently got the opportunity to take my kids here a few weeks ago. The music is what truly brings this place to life and hits me every time I hear it. So glad its here on UA-cam to listen anytime I need to come back to some of the happiest memories of my life. THANK YOU!
I live in Nebraska west of Omaha. It’s a treat to be able to see Epcot and listen to the music and reminisce. We were there in April and I love the place so thank you for sharing. I appreciate it. I’ve made it a tradition that every single time we end our last day at Epcot and we always do spaceship earth before we leave for the airport. I take my imagining with me back home.
Sounds like they made a lot of original music for it this time, similar to the Innoventions loop which is pretty nice. I could hear the original motif of the new Epcot theme in it a good few times. First impressions are pretty positive- it fits the new theme of Epcot, although a bit too "cinematic" at points for my tastes. Oh well, it could've been far worse. I think it's a fine replacement, but it doesn't top the iconic Innoventions loop (although, that's quite a high bar to surpass)
The last time I was at Epcot was before this new music debuted, but I thought that playlist was fine. I said to myself "It's nice, but it's not the Innoventions music."
I was so prepared to be disappointed in this after how I felt about Harmonious when it debuted but everything they have released since feels very on brand and my Epcot loving DCP home loving self loves Epcot to my core
Just visited for first time since COVID closure. Was sitting just inside Epcot entrance and heard this music. My wife could not get me to move until I had listened to at least 20 minutes worth. Best part of the new Epcot.
I just went to Epcot last week after not having been since 2021. I was thoroughly enchanted by this music any time I was in the area. I couldn’t get enough
2021 at least early on was a low point for Epcot- I went in June and there was no background music at all at that point due to the construction and it was breaking my heart. I’m so relieved they are getting back to the heart of epcot
I'll echo many of the other comments. I miss the Innoventions loop and still listen to it frequently, but this original composition definitely captures the optimistic vibe of EPCOT. I also love that it's original to EPCOT...bravo! Looking forward to hanging out in the World Celebration area with a coffee and soaking up the atmosphere and music.
I actually have been very pleasantly surprised by what we have seen so far of new Epcot. I did my DCP in Epcot and specifically future world so I am extremely protective of it. Everything that has come out so far feels very in spirit of Epcot and what it’s meant to be.
Thank you for posting this music. I tried to Shazam the music, with no luck. I really enjoy this music, makes the experience so much more pleasant and uplifting to me.
I love Pinar Toprak's work here, and the fact that it will always remind me of Harmonious (where the theme debuted) makes me smile and makes me sad at the same time. That show, especially the music, was absolutely tremendous. Between the delays, the cost to run and maintain it, and the fact that it was ugly as sin during the day - it never really had a fair chance, but I will always have fond memories of it.
I did my DCP in Epcot back in 2014 and I was in Future World so I heard the Innoventions loop all the time and it is very special to me because of that. That being said I do enjoy this loop as well!!!!
I absolutely LOVE this music!!!! There's a melody in this loop that was sung in the very first song of Harmonious and I hear it all throughout this music loop. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing this!!!
having made several trips to EPCOT in the past week i gotta say i *really* like this new loop. nothing will ever match innoventions for me but that’s okay bc this is a pretty damn good follow up
I was in love with the Luminous score until the Disney/Pixar medley hit. Not that there was anything wrong with the arrangements themselves, but they are unnecessary.
@@Joes_Z-Music agreed. Parts are wonderful, but You’ve Got a Friend in Me is off putting inside of Epcot. That was not a great decision. After listing to the Slumberland soundtrack today, Pinar would have slayed the loss section of this show with piano alone. Toprak’s sound is very Thomas Newman meets Hans Zimmer, and I absolutely adore her textural choices. They needed to set her free.
I just got back from a trip, and one of the most poignant parts for me this time was the new Epcot music. I do miss the old music, because it held such a special place in my heart. But I do have to say, I absolutely adore this new music. The new themes perfectly encapsulate the spirit of Epcot, just like the old music did. The constant tension and release is a great compositional tool.
Still miss the Innovations loop. I loved that one. Still listen to the loop frequently. This is better than the Spotify music they had though. Maybe it’ll grow on me. Has a beacon of magic and Harmonious vibe. I also heard music from the various Worlds and attractions and countries in Epcot.
Interesting how many comments refer to the "Innoventions Music" as the original music. I'd be curious to see a poll for how many agree with that vs how many still think of the '82 loop as the original background loop. You know most of the Innoventions music was off-the-shelf 90's new age synth, right? Good music, yes, but maybe the first example of Disney replacing something truly original with the musical equivalent of stock footage.
Is it really an hour? That's kind of impressive. I like it but it doesn't seem connected to old EPCOT music at all. A little too cinematic and not enough synth. Not bad by any means though. Thanks for posting, WDWNT!
I don't think it's actually an hour long loop. It was hard to tell if I had reached the loop point so I recorded an hour to be safe. Also wanted to make sure I had some extra just in case I needed to go back and edit some crowd noise. It's definitely not the old EPCOT music but I enjoyed it. Nice to have an original music loop again in the park.
I like it, but it sometimes feels very generic, like music trailer music. There’s moments that are great but it honestly reminds me of city skylines music. I feel like it is a step in the right direction tho compared to the actual generic music at the front of the park.
Pinar Toprak deserves an award for this soundtrack. If anyone knows where I can submit her for one let me know. This music is moving and inspiring and entertaining, everything an EPCOT anthem should be.
This plays outside the entrance and throughout World Celebration, World Discovery, and World Nature, correct? If not, is there old music in any of those places? I am currently working on a complete park music playlist sorted by "land" for all the parks. P.S. Commissary Lane is killing me!
Not as bad as it could have been 😊 get Soarin’ vibes a few times. But it will never be an earworm like the old loop. I’m sure Disney is waiting for my grade… B- Now we wait for Tom’s “honest review” (rant). 😂 Thanks WDWNT crew!!

I must be minority here, but I found the music way too repetitive, the same chrods repeat multiple times, over and over again..., a bit boring/annoying after some minutes
Bruce Broughton's was orchestral. This is just mostly pads. Not memorable or inspiring. This doesn't stick with me like Golden Dreams or Spaceship Earth. It's just generic movie ending music.

For us who grew up with Epcot, this fits in very well with World Celebration. 🎉
The rebirth of Epcot.❤
They tore down a building then rebuilt half of it, ripped out a foundation and put in a seating area and some gardens and a walk through attraction. That is far from a rebirth and it only took 4 years. Let’s not forget they are on their 3rd or 4th new fireworks show too in that time. Not good.

This new theme gave me an emotional response and it feels right at home in Epcot
If you heard this music without any context would you think EPCOT? I think so…they accomplished the assignment.
That's a great test, and I agree... I think they passed!
no
@@SandraLovesSun Neither would I. Sounds like SeaWorld's typical music.
It’s excellent music. Sounds like Disney and Epcot.
probably not. Nothing says Epcot more than the Innoventions loop
Walking through the park this week and I can assure you this music fits the vibe to perfection. They nailed it.
It's no Innovations but you know, I can vibe with this.
I’m starting to vibe with it only took 7 hours of listening 😂
They should put a shortened maybe 1 min bit of the future world(innoventions theme in this loop). It’s so iconic and big part of Epcot history. It wouldn’t hurt.

New video dropping soon?...👏
Absolutely!! 🌐✨

This is stunning. The official release can't come soon enough!
I think the music is the saving grace of this new area! Gives it much needed life.
I live in Nebraska west of Omaha. It’s a treat to be able to see Epcot and listen to the music and reminisce. We were there in April and I love the place so thank you for sharing. I appreciate it.
Whoever made this clearly has a way bigger passion for Epcot than the people who designed this area
This music might be my new vibe. This is such a great track for Epcot

Listening to this while watching a meteor shower 🌠 The ultimate soundtrack for the ultimate nighttime spectacular
No Innoventions, but I am really liking this so far. Reminds me of the Tapestry of Nations music.
It's beautiful but I would have liked a couple random old Epcot musical quotes or nods throughout the loop.
Yes, I agree.
There's a definite hint of Tapestry Of Nations in there for sure. But I see your point.
Wow. Usually these are boring, but this one is way cool.

Now if we could get source audio for the actual Epcot anthem
I haven't been back to Epcot Center since 2014 but the new music area loop is incredibly awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love the new Epcot entrance music. It fits perfectly.
Can’t wait for the official release of this…
It’s very similar to Beacon of Magic theme. It fits well with the new area.
The Epcot Beacon music was a variation of this theme, written by Pinar Toprak.
Still miss the Innovations loop. I loved that one. Still listen to the loop frequently. This is better than the Spotify music they had though. Maybe it’ll grow on me. Has a beacon of magic and Harmonious vibe. I also heard music from the various Worlds and attractions and countries in Epcot.

It's incredibly generic, and a far cry from the old music.
