Variety reports that 'Harmonious Live!' will be one of around fifty titles removed from Disney+ as part of a new cost-cutting move.

Harmonious show

On last week's earnings call, Disney CFO Christine McCarthy announced the move to remove titles from its streaming platforms.

Hosted by Idina Menzel, Harmonious Live! originally aired June 21, 2022 on Disney+, honoring World Music Day.

Along with special guest Auli'i Cravalho ("Moana"), the live event from Disney Branded Television celebrated the power of music with a medley of classic Disney music reinterpreted by a culturally diverse group of 240 artists from all around the world, all performed by a live orchestra and ensemble of international vocalists.

EPCOT's Harmonious had its final performance at Walt Disney World on April 2, 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:
