EPCOT’s World Showcase Lagoon Is Once Again Free of All Clutter
For what feels like the first time in forever, visitors to EPCOT’s World Showcase today were greeted by an elusive and beautiful sight — an empty World Showcase Lagoon!
When Disney unleashed the ill-fated Harmonious in EPCOT, the new nighttime spectacular brought along with it five floating barges that became permanently moored in World Showcase Lagoon.
Unlike the former Illuminations show, the Harmonious barges were permanent fixtures in the World Showcase Lagoon throughout the day, obstructing guests’ views and generally cluttering up the amazing views that World Showcase has to offer.
Fan reaction to the Harmonious barges was overwhelmingly negative. In fact, one of the biggest complaints about Harmonious was the clutter that it brought to World Showcase.
The Barges Are Gone
Luckily, the latest EPCOT nighttime spectacular, Luminous The Symphony of Us, has gone back to using smaller barges. These are piloted out from backstage before showtime.
Since the end of Harmonious and the advent of Luminous, the World Showcase Lagoon has grown increasingly clear.
Today, when visiting the lagoon, there was nothing but clear skies and amazingly detailed pavilions on the horizon.
The grandiose nature of the World Showcase and the endless “world” of possibilities that EPCOT offers really crystalizes when with views like this.
So, next time you visit the World Showcase Lagoon, pause for a moment and take in the scenery. It is views like this that make the Disney Parks so special.
