Harmonious only just opened at EPCOT, but it looks like there’s a new show in town! At the D23 Expo today, a BRAND NEW Nighttime Show is coming to EPCOT!
Debuting in late 2023, the show promises to be Disney’s BEST nighttime show yet! Not much is known about the show at this time. Unlike in years past, where D23 was full of detail and artist renderings, this year’s Expo was mostly just the cliff notes. As soon as more details are announced, though, you can count on us to bring you all of the info!
Harmonious only debuted last September. It’s unknown at this time if the new show will replace Harmonious or will run alongside it. It’s hard to fathom the show being completely replaced so soon, especially considering the amount of effort this show took to come to life. It could be, though, that Disney has listened to fans. An overwhelming majority seem to really like the show but despise the equipment involved. It seriously disrupts the sight lines. As someone who loves taking pictures in the parks, I have to agree with that line of thinking. The Harmonious equipment really messes up EPCOT photos.
Josh D’Amaro did say that the new show will be part of the Disney100 celebration, so if we had to hazard a guess, we would speculate that tissues will be needed. Expect the show to take you on an emotional journey through Disney’s history and possibly include a nod to Walt Disney himself.
If you were a fan of the EPCOT of the 80s and early 90s, you’ll know that the Park is truly capable of bringing a show that will leave you in tears. EPCOT Forever was a love letter to the Park’s history, and this writer at least sobbed every time.
