food IS a theme park
Disney World is going through some big changes right now!
There are some big changes coming to Disney World!
Health and safety measures are starting to disappear and restaurants, entertainment options, and resorts are starting to reopen more frequently. Disney recently announced that fireworks would be returning to the parks soon, and that announcement has some huge implications for the future of what’s happening in the parks!
When you visit Disney World, you may hear a LOT of phrases that you don’t understand!
What is a refurbishment? You’re about to find out!
Disney fans use jargon that is completely unique to the parks, filled with acronyms and fancy words that don’t mean anything to the outsider or the first-time guest. As you become more acquainted with the parks, you’ll start to learn more about “Disney speak,” but today we’re giving you a crash course!
There are a lot of ongoing projects in Disney World right now, but one that we’re incredibly excited about is the new fireworks show coming to EPCOT, Harmonious!

This new nighttime spectacular doesn’t yet have a premiere date, but we’ve been watching the construction progress carefully. All of the barges for the show are now out on World Showcase Lagoon and we’ve seen some of the show elements testing. Today, one of our readers caught a glimpse of even more pieces working!
EPCOT’s transformation is well underway!
Spaceship Earth
With an opening date announced for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and construction trekkin’ along at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, we’re really starting to see the park take shape! A super exciting aspect of that transformation? The brand-new fireworks show, Harmonious, which is on the way! Although Disney hasn’t yet announced exactly when this show will debut, we’ve been following the construction closely. And now, we’ve got another update!
EPCOT is in the midst of a MAJOR transformation!

New attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind are in progress. Plus much of the park is getting a new look. We’re especially excited to see Harmonious, the new nighttime spectacular — but we can’t say we’re happy about how those massive barges look in the water… .
There is a lot to love when it comes to Disney World!
Spaceship Earth and the New Lights
It is the Most Magical Place on Earth after all, and is full of fun rides, characters, and food (obviously). But, there are some things in Disney World that are…well…not so magical. These things may be different for some people, but there is one thing that practically everyone agrees to hate so far: the Harmonious barges in EPCOT.
We got some major Disney World announcements recently.
EPCOT
We learned the official opening dates for two new things coming to EPCOT later this year — Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie de Paris! They’ll both be opening on October 1st in celebration of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. But, we couldn’t help but notice that another upcoming attraction wasn’t mentioned — EPCOT’s new fireworks show, Harmonious.
EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime spectacular Harmonious has made BIG progress lately!
Harmonious Barges
We’ve seen the first barge, second barge, and third centerpiece barge take their places on World Showcase Lagoon, and even though we’re waiting on two more, we can’t help but get excited for the progress on this show. We’ve seen the barges testing before, but tonight we saw a NEW test being done!
EPCOT is very much Disney World’s work-in-progress park right now.
Harmonious Centerpiece
From the HUGE construction in Future World to the major upcoming attractions, we’re seeing a LOT of work in the park. Recently, we’ve found ourselves super focused on the construction for EPCOT’s new nighttime spectacular and we saw more work today.
Harmonious, EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime show, has been making huge progress lately!
Harmonious Barges
We knew we were getting closer to seeing the show when the first and second barges came out onto World Showcase Lagoon, but now the six-story tall centerpiece barge is on full display. And tonight we noticed something pretty awesome about the barges out on the water!
