This week, “Epcot Forever” – our new, limited-time spectacle of fireworks, music, lighting, lasers and choreographed special effects kites – debuted at the park and we shared a #DisneyParksLIVE stream of the first show right here on the Diz Planet!
As many of you know, “Epcot Forever” takes guests on a journey through the past, present and future of Epcot, featuring a stirring collection of songs that paint a colorful picture of the park, with a look towards the future and all the magical possibilities still to come.
Check out our earlier “Epcot Forever” story for more information.
