    As always, if you're going to bet the rent money on this information, you might want to double check with another source first.

    I recall Doobie's original post saying that the extra ROE show would be on for the Extra Magic Hours in Epcot in APRIL. I checked the portal for May, and sure enough, even though Epcot IS open until midnight on the extra days I put in Post #22, there is NO extra ROE show on those nights in May.

    So far.

    I love Illuminations just as much as you do.

    But I also loved all the versions (and other shows) that preceeded it.

    This show has played since 1999. It was designed for the Millennium Celebration.

    It is now 2007.

    It's more than time for a new show that can wow us in a new way.

    With over 10 million guest last year. the beer, and flowers seem to be working. I agree that seven years is a bit long for ROE.

    The Cast Portal shows Epcot Fri 4/20 as open until midnight, and TWO Illuminations shows. The regular 9pm, and another at 11:30pm. This is true for Fri 4/27 too.

    But the XMHr evenings in May do not show a second Illuminations show at this time. That appears to be an April thing.

    Any inclination that they will do this in May as well. I really hope so as we are going the last week in May and staying at the Yacht Club.
