Epcot Forever
But wait … there’s more! If you followed along with our live broadcast last night you’ll know that we said goodbye to ‘IllumiNations” which closed after 20 years of dazzling guests. But disney has a new show that is sure to wow- tonight marks the debut of “Epcot Forever.” This new show is a scintillating collection of soaring fireworks, lasers, and colorful glowing kites that dance through the sky above the water.
The story of Epcot is set to a grand orchestral soundtrack, with noted conductor and composer Don Harper producing new arrangements of classic Epcot tunes threaded throughout the show. It features stirring renditions of music from the park’s history that are sure to stoke some fond memories, such as “One Little Spark” and the theme from the “Tapestry of Nations” parade.
Get a first look at this awesome new fireworks show at Disney Parks Blog tonight at 8:50 p.m. EDT. “Epcot Forever” is set to perform into 2020, leading to the park’s next nighttime spectacular, “HarmonioUS.”
