In the heart of Walt Disney World Resort, EPCOT has set a new milestone in its history. Since December 5, 2023, the evening show “Luminous the Symphony of Us” has been delighting visitors along the World Showcase Lagoon. This show is more than just another spectacle; it's an ode to community and the shared experiences of humanity, wrapped in an impressive display of light, water, and music.

A Symphony of Commonality

“Luminous the Symphony of Us” stands out for its meticulous coordination of music and visual effects. The show is divided into various “movements” that address the diversity of human experiences. Visitors can look forward to newly arranged, multilingual versions of Disney classics like “You’ll Be in My Heart” and “Proud Corazón”. Beloved songs such as “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” and “Friend Like Me” are also presented in a new context. The show becomes emotional with interpretations of “When She Loved Me”, “Remember Me”, and “Into the Unknown”, leading up to the finale with “I See the Light” from “Tangled”.

Original Compositions for a Unique Experience

Two original songs specifically composed for the show, “Heartbeat Symphony” and “Beating of our Hearts”, complete the musical journey. These songs capture the core theme of the show: the connection of hearts and dreams of people around the world.

EPCOT’s Ongoing Transformation

The introduction of “Luminous the Symphony of Us” is part of a larger development at EPCOT. The newly opened World Celebration Gardens offer a retreat of tranquility and nature. At the heart of this area is Dreamers Point, featuring the inspiring statue “Walt the Dreamer”, depicting Walt Disney in his later years as he dreamed up the vision for the park and the entire Florida project. This representation is meant to embody his tireless optimism and belief in the magic of possibilities.

An Oasis of Nature and Design

The World Celebration Gardens are not just a place to relax, but also a visual masterpiece. The arrangement of the gardens, following the five rings of the iconic EPCOT logo, offers a unique experience. Each garden space will be thematically adapted to the various EPCOT festivals throughout the year.

Looking Towards the Future

The completion of CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza in 2024 will mark the next phase in EPCOT’s evolution. These new attractions are a testament to Disney’s commitment to continuously providing its visitors with innovative and impressive experiences.

Part of the Disney100 Celebration

EPCOT plays a central role in the global Disney100 celebration. Special lighting of the Spaceship Earth, innovative culinary offerings, new character encounters, and the opening of the “Journey of Water”, inspired by Moana, are just some of the highlights that visitors can enjoy until December 31, 2023.

Conclusion: A New Chapter of Magic

“Luminous the Symphony of Us” is more than just a show; it's an expression of Disney's ability to tell stories that connect and inspire people. This show, along with the numerous new features and attractions at EPCOT, reaffirms the park's status as a place where dreams come true and the magic of humanity is celebrated.
