After what feels like a CENTURY, shows and entertainment are making a HUGE comeback in Disney World — and we couldn’t be more thrilled!
From Nighttime Spectaculars to parades and performances, the magic is FULLY back in the Most Magical Place on Earth, and now we’re here to round it ALL up for you!
After the parks re-opened without many of our favorite live performers, some EPCOT fans felt like something was definitely missing when wandering around EPCOT’s World Showcase. Don’t get us wrong, there’s were still exciting things in the Disney World parks, but it’s just so much more enchanting under the glow of fireworks!
Now that shows have come back, it’s the perfect time to round up a FULL list of Disney World showtimes in EPCOT!
EPCOT Pianist
Not all shows have to be larger-than-life fireworks displays to get our attention. In fact, some of our fave traditions are small and simple — and absolutely lovely! Like EPCOT’s resident pianist, who plays live throughout the day in the UK Pavilion.
We love a good piano player! Although she’s usually in the gardens behind the pavilion, we’ve also seen her performing at World Showplace during some festivals, and performances are typically around 12:30PM, 1:30PM, 2:30PM, 3:30PM, 4:30PM, and 5:30PM.

Harmonious!
We waited a LONG time for EPCOT’s new Nighttime Spectacular, and finally Harmonious made its debut for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration.
The theme for the epic pyrotechnics display, one of the largest ever created in Disney World, is all about Disney music and stories, and how they have the power to bring people together.
Utilizing floating screens, moving fountains, lasers, and fireworks, the show depicts images and effects inspired by the likes of Moana, The Lion King, Aladdin, and Mulan, illuminating the sky over World Showcase Lagoon every night at 9PM.

JAMMitors
The JAMMitors are another one of our favorites at EPCOT. Like, we’re basically their groupies.
Using “found” instruments, like trash cans and brooms, for lively percussive performances, the musical “janitors” light up the streets of EPCOT throughout the day. Taking place at World Celebration, performances are held around 9AM, 10AM, 11AM, 12PM, 2PM, and 3PM.

Matsuriza
Many of the pavilions in World Showcase have their own culturally inspired entertainment and performers, and in Japan, that role belongs to Matsuriza.
An extraordinary display of artistry and skill, the show uses the Taiko, an ancient form of Japanese drumming, with numerous drummers thundering away in glorious style. Held in the front of the Japan Pavilion, you can experience it for yourself at 11AM, 12PM, 1PM, 2PM, 3PM, 4PM, and 4:45PM.

Music of Mexico
Keep the music vibes going strong with a stroll to the Mexico Pavilion for Music of Mexico! Traditional Mexican folk music takes the stage as the well-clad Mariachi Cobre performers sing, dance, and play folk songs from the Jalisco, Mexico region. You can also catch Marimba de las Américas playing marimba arrangements of Latin American music on select days!
Performance times seem to move around for the live music performances at the Mexico Pavilion, so be sure to check your My Disney Experience app for up-to-date information. We have been seeing show times most often at 11:15AM, 12PM, 12:45PM, 1:30PM, 3PM, 3:45PM, and 4:30PM.

Sergio
If juggling is more your style, then make a beeline to the Italy Pavilion to say hi to Sergio!
The spirited — and adorably hilarious — juggler and mime showcases his skills in the piazza with performances throughout the day: 11:50AM, 12:35PM, 1:20PM, 2:15PM, 3:10PM, 3:55PM, and 4:40PM.

Voices of Liberty
Yet another iconic musical troupe at EPCOT is the Voices of Liberty, an enchanting group of dapper musicians performing a 15-minute showcase of classic Disney songs at The American Adventure Pavilion.
You can catch the Voices of Liberty at 12PM, 1PM, 2PM, 3PM, 4PM, and 5PM.
From larger-than-life fireworks shows to something as pure as a garden pianist, shows are CLEARLY back and better than ever in EPCOT!
