Poseidon service barges are now docked in World Showcase Lagoon at EPCOT as crews continue the process of dismantling Harmonious.

Harmonious barge dismantling - April 7 2023

The large floating service platforms are currently docked near the China pavilion. It isn't immediately clear what they will be used for, as we have typically seen them used to support heavy machinery during pile driving and other heavy construction.

Crews have been using the normal maintenance barges to remove hardware from the Harmonious barges, and these can be seen currently parked at The American Adventure. All of the Harmonious barges are still in the lagoon, and will be moved back stage over the coming weeks.

Harmonious had its final performance on April 2, 2023 and has been replaced with EPCOT Forever as an interim show. A brand-new EPCOT firework show will debut later in 2023.

Well I'm 3 for 3 for seeing this show and it making me teary-eyed. I guess I'm a fan. I feel bad for badmouthing it when it debuted and I hadn't seen it yet, but Harmonious really left a bad taste in my mouth.

We can all agree that the best finale music in Epcot history was “A Whole New World,” obviously.

Well, to be specific the original ones made for the show although One Little Spark is great.

One Little Spark is better.

Can we all agree that "One Heartbeat" is the better post show song?

You don't get to see the fountains much, but fireworks and lights are visible. Music is piped in too.

I don't think they pipe in the music around the Epcot resorts (although they should) but you can also look up the soundtrack on YouTube and try to sync it up. this video I edited together is perfectly in sync with the actual show you just have to start it about a minute before the show actually starts because it has the last preshow song that transitions into the show.

Does that have a decent view?

I think it does. Good thinking! I was limiting my thinking to the Crescent Lake area.

Doesn't the restaurant on top of riviera pipe it in?

Brian1 day ago

I don't think so. IIRC there's no speakers on the bridge. But the music is sufficiently loud from the park that you should be able to hear it. EPCOT fireworks aren't meant to be viewed from outside the park, unlike Magic Kingdom's.

Ohh, ok. I was hoping for a restaurant I could eat at since we get in pretty late anyways. Do they at least pipe in the music on the bridge?

You can't really see the fireworks from inside the buildings. Your best bet if you don't want to enter the park is the bridge between the Boardwalk and Beach Club leading out towards the International Gateway, pictured here:
