Created especially for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, Harmonious succeeds the beloved EPCOT spectacle IllumiNations (after a short run by the filler show, EPCOT Forever), and uses new projections and waterworks to deliver a story that takes viewers around the world while incorporating Disney movies.
This special live stream will only be available to Disney+ subscribers in the United States and Canada, and a replay of the event will be left on the streaming service to watch anytime.
