EPCOT Forever fireworks show has returned

May 11, 2023

Epcot Forever has returned to World Showcase Lagoon section at EPCOT, a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida.

This temporary show is a treat for Disney fans. Epcot Forever fireworks show returned on April 4th, 2023, and is running in the interim while Harmonious barges and equipment is being slowly transformed out of the Lagoon.

A dazzling display of music, pyrotechnics, lasers and lighting, the show features an original composition and evocative selections from the Disney songbook – all woven together to remind us that we are more alike than different.

Since Epcot’s inception in 1982, the vision of Walt Disney’s idea for the park was to create a ‘community of tomorrow' that would never be completed. (The acronym EPCOT stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, by the way). If you ask any recent park-goer, that is still the case. It seems like Epcot will be under construction for the foreseeable future. Something that underwent a huge change after 20 years was the end-of-the-night fireworks and light show.

The previous fireworks show, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, ran from 1999 to 2019 and cost approximately $25,000 each night to show. It ran for 20 years as a part of The Walt Disney World Millenium Celebration and became a family favorite. In 2019 Illuminations was replaced with an extremely short run of Epcot Forever. It only lasted a year before being replaced by Harmonious, with the reverse interchange taken place this spring.

Epcot Forever is definitely less of a production than both IllumiNations and Harmonious, but as always fireworks shows at Disney tug at your heartstrings and are really a perfect ending to any park day.

We at SuperFireworks Company gladly share the link to the video of this fireworks show's triumphant return on April 3, 2023!
