Remember when Jordan Fisher performed Happily Ever After at the start of the 2022 D23 Expo parks panel? *swoon*
Just after the performance, Josh D’Amaro announced that sometime in 2023, both the fan-favorite anthem “Happily Ever After” would be returning to Magic Kingdom, as well as a new nighttime spectacular in the works to replace Harmonious at EPCOT. Today, Disney announced when the current shows’ final performances will be, along with their replacement details and return dates.
Both of the current spectaculars, Disney Enchantment and Harmonious, debuted on October 1st, 2021, in honor of the resort’s 50th anniversary celebration; which comes to an end on March 30th.
At Magic Kingdom, Disney Enchantment will show for one last time on April 2nd, before making way for the return of Happily Ever After (not just the anthem!), returning on April 3rd.
At EPCOT, the last performance of Harmonious will also take place on April 2nd. While Disney is still making preparations for the new replacement show set to debut sometime this year, EPCOT Forever will be returning to the lagoon as an interim show. (EPCOT Forever was the temporary show between Illuminations: Reflections of Earth and Harmonious.)
Better yet, the large fireworks barges obstructing World Showcase Lagoon will be removed in phases after Harmonious’ final performance.
More details are to come for EPCOT’s next big nighttime spectacular – stay tuned!
