Luminous the Symphony of Us made its debut in World Showcase Lagoon at EPCOT on December 5, 2023. The new show features a dazzling display of music, pyrotechnics, lasers and lighting, along with an original composition and evocative selections from the Disney songbook – all woven together to remind us that we are more alike than different.
The new fireworks spectacular brings guests together around World Showcase Lagoon and shine a light on the shared experiences that connect people across the globe. With a dazzling display of fireworks, fountains, lights and music, the new show will be the perfect finale to a memorable day at EPCOT. Much like a beautiful piece of music, Luminous the Symphony of Us is made up of a series of movements representing common themes of the human experience.

Book a boat to take you out on World Showcase Lagoon for a private fireworks viewing!
This nightly "parade" was first performed on October 25, 1971 during the dedication of the Polynesian Luau. While old-fashioned by today's standards, it's still fun to head to the resort beachfronts to watch it go by. The water pageant can be seen from the boat-loading area at the Magic Kingdom, as well as all each resort around Bay Lake. It normally starts at 9:00 each night, but double-check the My Disney Experience app to be sure. There are two segments, one is a King Neptune theme, the other a salute to America.
New pixie dusted scenes are being added to this fan favorite nighttime water pageant, including a float representing Cinderella Castle. Guests will also hear an Electrical Water Pageant-like version of the 50th Anniversary’s theme song, The Magic is Calling. Guests who love current iteration of the Electrical Water Pageant will be happy to know that the full original show will still take place, with the additions “bookending” the pageant.
