Epcot Forever was a fireworks show that premiered October 1, 2019 at Epcot. Epcot Forever served as an interim replacement for IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth until its long-term replacement, HarmonioUS, premieres in 2021. It took the form of a celebration of Epcot's musical history. The show celebrated the park's 37-year history, featuring fireworks, music, lighting, lasers, and special effects kites set to new arrangements of music originating from some of the park's classic attractions, such as Journey Into Imagination, Spaceship Earth, Soarin', Tapestry of Nations and Universe of Energy. The show was also made to celebrate the Past, Present, and Future of Epcot.[2]

The final performance was originally scheduled to close set in September 2020.[3] However, it was permanently closed on March 15, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Show summary

Epcot Forever is structured around medley of Epcot music and the voices of children quoting different attractions, with some archival audio of Walt Disney in the EPCOT film also being incorporated into the opening and closing.
