Hi there, Katrina!
Welcome back to planDisney and a big thank you for stopping by with your question. I can't believe it - it looks like you are arriving at
Walt Disney World Resort TODAY! The countdown is over, and the magic is calling! You chose a very special time to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth because you'll catch the grand finale of the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration. While you're at
EPCOT, be sure to keep an eye on Spaceship Earth in the evening. You might see it transform into a glowing
Beacon of Magic!
Harmonious is an exciting celebration of cultural diversity choreographed to your favorite classic Disney music, and it's one of my favorite nighttime spectaculars in all of Walt Disney World Resort! I'm glad you'll have the chance to experience this amazing show soon because Harmonious will be replaced by another nighttime spectacular,
EPCOT Forever, on April 3, 2023. Katrina, if you've visited World Showcase at EPCOT before, then you know that you have a great view of World Showcase Lagoon from just about anywhere. However, I do have a couple of favorite nighttime spectacular viewing locations that I'd be happy to share with you!
The patio outside the Italy pavilion is my go-to place to watch Harmonious. Not only can you grab some gelato near this location, but you'll also have a very centered view of the show. Another one of my favorite things to do at EPCOT is to grab a Citron Slush from
Les Vins des Chefs de France and enjoy the fireworks from a table on the patio space between the France and U.K. pavilions. From here, you'll have a fantastic view as well as a seat! Another great location offering seating and refreshments is
La Cantina de San Angel. This Quick Service dining location in the Mexico pavilion offers a covered seating area and delicious Mexican fare. If you're not hungry for a full meal, you can always try the Churro Sundae or a margarita!
Katrina, did you know that the
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is happening now? While you're at EPCOT, be sure to stop at the
Food Studios around World Showcase. I personally love the Almond Frangipane Cake offered at Pop Eats near the entrance to World Showcase. Be sure to pick up a Festival Passport when you arrive at EPCOT so that you can choose your "must-haves" before you begin tasting your way around the world!
Thanks again for bringing your question to planDisney, Katrina. It's been my deepest pride and greatest pleasure to assist you with finding the perfect vantage point for Harmonious. I wish you a most magical and memorable time at Walt Disney World Resort and encourage you to stop back anytime with additional questions you may have - we're all ears!
See ya real soon,
Lauren
