With cover images shot exclusively for the magazine, the issue promises to provide details on the fireworks spectacular, HarmoniUS, which debuts at EPCOT on October 1st.
Twenty pages of the periodically will share new details about not only the spectacular new entertainment but also exciting attractions coming to the resort in celebration of the big anniversary.
