Epcot fireworks Harmonious from Japan Pavilion | Image credit: Walt Disney World I promise, no matter where you might be around the World Showcase Lagoon, you will be able to see the show. It will result in a long walk to exit the park, but it does give you a more peaceful stroll to end the night. Japan Pavilion is another popular location, but somewhat less crowded, and will have a little more room. It will be the most crowded and compact but overall seems to be the most recommended spot. If that is something you want to do or have someone in your party to do the Port of Entry stores and its courtyard is a popular choice. I have never been one to sit and hold a spot for an hour (or more) before showtime. If you select a spot outside of those tape marks a cast member will ask you to move for safety reasons. The tape is there to show the areas where you can and can not sit for the show. Be mindful of the tape markings on the ground. This is right at the entrance to the World Showcase. Where is the best location to see Harmonious?Īs showtime gets closer each night, most people will start to gather in between the Port of Entry Stores. There are so many varying effects during the show, it can be overwhelming – in a good way. Once you see Harminous at night, you can judge for yourself. There is much debate among Disney fans as to if these barges are worth the strange view on the lagoon during the day. Because the structures are so large, they stay visible on floating barges in the lagoon throughout the day. I was there last month with someone who hasn’t been to EPCOT in 10 years, that was the first thing he asked about. Epcot Harmonious Fireworks with colored fountains | Image provided by Walt Disney World Harmonious – The New Epcot Fireworks ShowĪs you visit the World Showcase during the day, it is hard to miss the odd-shaped black structures in World Showcase Lagoon. It only lasted a year before being replaced by Harmonious, the show that is currently running each night. In 2019 Illuminations was replaced with an extremely short run of Epcot Forever. It ran for 20 years as a part of The Walt Disney World Millenium Celebration and became a family favorite. The previous fireworks show, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, ran from 1999 to 2019 and cost approximately $25,000 each night to show. Something that underwent a huge change after 20 years was the end-of-the-night fireworks and light show around the World Showcase. It seems like Epcot will be under construction for the foreseeable future. If you ask any recent park-goer, that is still the case. Since Epcot’s inception in 1982, the vision of Walt’s idea for the park was to create a ‘community of tomorrow' that would never be completed. A dazzling display of music, pyrotechnics, lasers and lighting, the show will feature an original composition and evocative selections from the Disney songbook – all woven together to remind us that we are more alike than different. Guests will be treated to the debut of an all-new EPCOT nighttime spectacular later this year. In the meantime “EPCOT Forever” returns while the Entertainment team preps the Lagoon, including a phased removal of fireworks platforms following the final “Harmonious” performance on April 2, 2023.
