    When is the light show on sept 20 at Epcot

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Yaidi!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! In just a few weeks, you’ll be strolling through EPCOT, tasting treats from around the world, flying high over breathtaking sights on Soarin’ Around the World, and checking out the reimagined Test Track. You’ll wander through futuristic innovations in World Discovery, then step into the MAGIC of different cultures as you explore the World Showcase. We can't WAIT to "See You Real Soon!"

    I have to start by saying that you will LOVE experiencing Luminous: The Symphony of Us! This show is pure Disney enchantment at its finest! Imagine fireworks bursting in perfect harmony with heart-stirring music, fountains dancing across the lagoon, and lights painting the sky in colors that make you stop in your tracks. It’s a celebration of connection, love, and the beauty of people from all over the world coming together in one place.

    As you plan your MAGICAL day, I wanted to let you know that Luminous is currently scheduled for 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 20, 2025. I just checked the Disney World online calendar to verify the correct start date. My recommendation would be to check back a couple of days before your arrival to check the start time, since schedules can change. 

    If you want to make your Luminous experience truly unforgettable, here’s some planDisney scoop! The show is designed to "WOW" from anywhere, but the best spots are around World Showcase Lagoon near Italy, Japan, or Canada. These areas give you wide, clear views with nothing blocking the show. Also, you might want to arrive about 45–60 minutes early to snag your spot, especially on busy nights when everyone is vying for that perfect angle. If you’d rather relax, you can even book a dining package at Rose & Crown or Spice Road Table, where you’ll get a tasty meal and a reserved view of the show! While it’s tempting to film every second, don’t forget to just take it in with your own eyesTrust me, this is one Disney memory you’ll want to hold onto forever!

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
