As part of Epcot’s historic, multi-year transformation, “Harmonious” — one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney Park — is set to debut later this year and several barges for the show have just arrived.
Walt Disney Imagineering and Disney Parks Live Entertainment teams recently passed a major milestone in the development of the show, with the delivery of several floating platforms that will provide a base for the technology used to create “Harmonious.”
Take a look at the arrival of the massive barges in the video below:
“Harmonious” will bring to World Showcase Lagoon an innovative toolkit of massive floating set pieces that house a variety of show effects, including custom-built LED panels, choreographed moving fountains, colorful lights, lasers, pyrotechnics and more.
The show is a beautifully crafted nighttime dreamscape of Disney music and images, reimagined by diverse cultural musicians and artists from around the world. It’s a transformative experience, where we can discover how Disney music has the power to inspire and unite us all. You can catch an early glimpse of concepts for the show now by visiting Walt Disney Imagineering Presents the Epcot Experience, located in the Odyssey Events Pavilion.
Over the coming months, with development and infrastructure work for “Harmonious” ramping up both behind the scenes and in the center of the lagoon, we’re pleased to present the limited-time spectacular “Epcot Forever.”
“Epcot Forever” has been described as a “love letter” to the park. The show tells the story of Epcot, beginning with the first spark of inspiration and the opening day anthem, “We’ve Just Begun to Dream,” and continuing through chapters dedicated to the thematic pillars of innovation, exploration, imagination and celebration. It concludes with an all-new verse of the classic song, “One Little Spark,” leading into a spectacular grand finale promising “A Whole New World” of magical possibilities to come.

Build-A-Bear Workshop revealed today that it will be releasing a Baby Yoda plush in the coming months and excited we are!
The company revealed a prototype of a new plush figure based on The Child character from Disney’s “The Mandalorian” at the ICR Conference in Orlando.
“I’m excited to share we will be one of the first companies to provide the digital and internet phenomenon who is trending higher than all the presidential candidates combined,” Build-A-Bear CEO Sharon Price John said during the conference.
Toys featuring the instantly popular character from “The Mandalorian” have been in high demand since the show debuted on Disney Plus in November. A Baby Yoda toy from Funko quickly became a top-selling action figure on Amazon in early December – even though customers who preordered the toy will not receive it until May.
Epcot International Festival of the Arts at Disney World will be returning Jan. 17 and today we are getting a first look at some of the amazing merch coming out of the festival including these new Minnie Ears inspired by Figment.
A spark of imagination was used in designing these ears for sure as they are the first set of ears to be made with reversible sequins. The sequins are purple when swiped down and rainbow when swiped up.
Where there would normally be a bow there is some signage on the headband showing figment and his very own paint and color company as you can see in the pictures below:
Typically, ears like these retail for $29.99 and they will be available at Epcot in Disney World when the Festival of the Arts begins on Jan. 17.
