Dates Announced for Epcot Nighttime Spectaculars

After a 20-year run, Disney is saying farewell to “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” at Epcot® on Sept. 30, 2019. I have always loved this show and it will be missed, but I cannot wait to see what Disney has in store for us! If you love IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, there is still time gather around World Showcase Lagoon this summer to say your good-byes.

While we are saying goodbye to a beloved show, never fear becuase Disney has something else in store for us as they get ready to launch two new nighttime spectaculars.

“Debuting Oct. 1, 2019, “Epcot Forever” will be an all-new, limited-time spectacle of fireworks, music, lighting, lasers and choreographed, special effects kites. The show will take us on a journey through the past, present, and future of Epcot. It will feature a stirring collection of songs that paint a colorful picture of the park, this nighttime extravaganza will offer both a trip down memory lane and a look towards the future and all the magical possibilities still to come.”

Disney Parks Live Entertainment is busy getting “Epcot Forever” ready for its opening day. Show Director Alan Bruun recently shared some details about the concept behind the show and the team’s collaboration with noted conductor and composer Don Harper, who is producing new arrangements of classic Epcot tunes to weave into the soundtrack of “Epcot Forever.”
