Crews in EPCOT's World Showcase lagoon are continuing to add more infrastructure to support the all-new fireworks show coming to the park later this year.

Additional pilings have been added, radiating out from the central dock. The pilings will allow a large number of barges to be docked in the lagoon to provide launch points for fireworks and lighting.

Disney has remained tight-lipped on any specific details of the new show, but we expect it to debut before the end of the year, replacing the current EPCOT Forever.

Those are totally not the real ones. The one link posted the page back is the real one. It features full credits in the description and is listed under Pinars "Topic" channel. The Topic channels are for music publishers that upload the actual music (or whatever official media) for the artist, so it's an official source. It also matches the mp3s I bought directly from Amazon JP. As far as 5 songs missing from the playlist, no idea. Media uploads are weird with distribution so I'm not going to even waste my time questioning it.

Fan-made. "Sounds of Disney Parks" is not an official company channel/producer. "The Most Magical Music on Earth" is not a company channel/producer either. No production notes for either.

And whose channel is that? Disney's? I asked specific questions about it, and you're just saying "it's real." That's not an answer to my question. And why would an official Disney album be missing a track?

There are 6 pieces of dialog and SFX missing, and about 1 minute missing overall.

Which one is suss? This is the real deal here, just need to VPN to Japan to view it currently. And it seems to be missing some of the songs.

This just absolutely made my day. Was listening to the soundtrack on YouTube earlier what a coincidence 😂

Ummm, where's the production info? Is this really a Disney release? On YouTube Music there's two versions of the soundtrack. One clearly created by a fan. The other with album info that's pretty suss.

Let the record state that I was correct.

It sounds great! Wish Disney did this for all their shows and parades again.

How about the new world celebration music?

Like I said, I know it was a lot of work but it was fun to figure out on a lazy day. Edit: I wondered but never looked around, but it's confirmed some of Mariachi Cobre is officially a part of Luminous!
