Hello from EPCOT!
We took a walk around the park to see if we could spot anything new, so here are the latest EPCOT updates!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT!
And, we’ve got plenty of construction, merchandise, and food updates to share with you! So, let’s dive right on in!
We’ve been waiting for EPCOT’s new nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, for quite some time!
We’ve been itching to hear more news about the show, and Disney has shared a little bit of information with us, like the fact that the barges for the show are going to form a water feature during the day. We’ve seen some photos of these new platforms backstage, and yesterday the first set piece made its way onto World Showcase Lagoon. Today, we stopped by EPCOT to FINALLY see it for ourselves!
There’s SO MUCH going on over at EPCOT right now!
With the transformation of the park currently underway, we’re seeing construction walls everywhere! The park will soon be divided into four new neighborhoods, and we’ll get several new attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Along with these additions, we’re getting a new fireworks show, and today some of the new showpieces were moved into place in EPCOT!
Nighttime spectaculars are still more or less on pause in Disney World right now, with a few minor exceptions like projections and light pyro on Cinderella Castle, Tower of Terror, and the Tree of Life.
Fireworks are a BIG piece of a classic Disney vacation, so we’re waiting patiently for them to return. Luckily, Disney has continued work on EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime show, Harmonious, and now we’ve got an UPDATE from above!
2020 has brought a LOT of twists and turns, and we’re still very much in the midst of grappling with them. This year and next were supposed to be exciting ones in terms of opening attractions.
There are still projects to be excited about, of course, but Disney has left us wondering when and if some of them will ever be completed. Luckily, there are a few BIG Disney attractions that we can still expect to open in 2021 — here are the upcoming projects scheduled for completion next year!
2020 has been A YEAR, hasn’t it? There’s no question that Disney World’s temporary closures have had a big impact on tons of upcoming projects across the parks and resorts.
With just a few weeks left to this calendar year, let’s take a look at the projects that should have opened this year, but were DELAYED due to the closures!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the news for you this week. Today we have the details on the latest in the Disney theme parks and MORE!
See all of our coverage on Disney park reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
Last year, we bid farewell to one of the MOST beloved nighttime shows at Walt Disney World — EPCOT’s
IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.
However, we learned that this long-running show would be replaced with a BRAND NEW nighttime spectacular: Harmonious.
We have to say it: We miss Disney fireworks more than anything right now. Although nighttime spectaculars are on pause right now, EPCOT has still been moving forward with the construction on Harmonious!
Although the show was originally supposed to open in spring of this year, progress was delayed when the parks first closed. Now, EPCOT has put barges in place as permits state that more materials are being gathered and fireworks will be tested throughout the end of 2021.
