Get Ready For HarmonioUs @ Epcot

With IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth gone, “Epcot Forever” has been trying to fill the nighttime spectacular void in Epcot. Even though “Forever” is in the name, Epcot Forever is only a temporary show. Disney has been hard at work with the permanent Epcot nighttime spectacular, “Harmonious”. Check out the details and video below from DisneyParksBlog:

Epcot is in the midst of an historic, multi-year transformation that is bringing a wide variety of exciting new attractions and experiences to the park. Among these is “Harmonious,” set to debut later this year, which will be one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney Park. Our Walt Disney Imagineering and Disney Parks Live Entertainment teams recently passed a major milestone in the development of the show, with the delivery of several floating platforms that will provide a base for the technology used to create “Harmonious.”  

“Harmonious” will bring to World Showcase Lagoon an innovative toolkit of massive floating set pieces that house a variety of show effects, including custom-built LED panels, choreographed moving fountains, colorful lights, lasers, pyrotechnics and more.  

The show is a beautifully crafted nighttime dreamscape of Disney music and images, reimagined by diverse cultural musicians and artists from around the world. It’s a transformative experience, where we can discover how Disney music has the power to inspire and unite us all. You can catch an early glimpse of concepts for the show now by visiting Walt Disney Imagineering Presents the Epcot Experience, located in the Odyssey Events Pavilion. 

Over the coming months, with development and infrastructure work for “Harmonious” ramping up both behind the scenes and in the center of the lagoon, we’re pleased to present the limited-time spectacular “Epcot Forever.”  

“Epcot Forever” has been described as a “love letter” to the park. The show tells the story of Epcot, beginning with the first spark of inspiration and the opening day anthem, “We’ve Just Begun to Dream,” and continuing through chapters dedicated to the thematic pillars of innovation, exploration, imagination and celebration. It concludes with an all-new verse of the classic song, “One Little Spark,” leading into a spectacular grand finale promising “A Whole New World” of magical possibilities to come.  

“Epcot Forever” is now showing nightly in World Showcase, and we’ll have more to share on “Harmonious” in the months ahead.

New Year’s Eve Fireworks Show At Magic Kingdom

Before “Happily Ever After,” there was “Wishes”… but before “Wishes”, there was “Fantasy in the Sky.” This fireworks spectacular, originally developed for Disneyland Park in 1958, was the first Disney castle fireworks show, and it started out as rudimentary as Cast Members manually firing hand flares, but over time, it developed into the amazing nighttime spectacular we know today––and paved the way for newer, better shows.

The fireworks spectacular began nightly showings at the Magic Kingdom in 1976 shortly after Walt Disney World opened, and while it was retired in 2003 for the now-defunct fan-favorite “Wishes”, it still holds a special place in many of our hearts.

You can catch “Fantasy in the Sky” every New Year’s Eve at the Magic Kingdom, often with early showings on the 30th to accommodate for high crowds. Tonight seemed like the perfect night to experience the fireworks spectacular, and we have the full video of the show:

“Fantasy in the Sky” features songs from some of the most beloved Disney films, including “Peter Pan,” “Pinocchio” and “Aladdin,” as well as favorite songs from attractions like “it’s a small world” and The Haunted Mansion. Be on the lookout for a special New Year’s Eve finale.

You can catch “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks tonight at 11:50 PM for New Year’s Eve.

Video of Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show @ Magic Kingdom

Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks debuted this past Friday at the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of 2019. Unfortunately, the first party of the year was a rainy one, but since then, the weather has cooled and crisped up, making it perfect for recording and experience this new fireworks spectacular. Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks features medleys of classic holiday songs, including “Joy to the World”, “Deck the Halls”, “Up on the House Top”, and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.”

Here is a video footage of that first showing;
