Poseidon service barges arrive in EPCOT's World Showcase Lagoon

Harmonious barge dismantling - April 7 2023
Posted: Friday April 7, 2023 10:12am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

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


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.

This is the view from in front of Yacht Club. They do not pipe in music. https://photos.smugmug.com/2023-12-28-Disney-BCV/i-5v5pFv8/0/FXJ6c3pCw8NLfn98NVXKfF77GVv5KDj7pVZ2QW8n6/L/DSC_9023-Edit-L.jpg

I'm willing to bet it was in the show originally and then was cut for some reason and that there's a full non-acoustic version of it out there. I don't know if it was the original finally song but it definitely seems like it was in the show at some point and then was cut so they decided to put it in the post show.

It must have been the original finale song, right? There must be a non-acoustic version on a hard drive somewhere. I wish we could hear it

I know…damn near 20 years they went on…and on…and on…like, we get it! Why don’t you go on, now, and leave! Ironically, it was followed by Epcot Forever. Epcot’s nighttime spectacular crew seems obsessed with permanence.

I don't know. Circle of Life was pretty good back in the day. Both both were much better than that generic and uninspiring "We Go On" crap. Because IP.

I applaud you for being honest enough with yourself and with this group to self-correct in an open forum. There's not enough of that on this site and I appreciate it so much when I see it.

Do you need a reservation for Beaches and Cream? Also, I'm gonna move this to a trip planning thread. Want me to @ you?

It’s hit or miss but sometimes. Boardwalk does not iirc bc of their live performers.

Do they play the music over there?

Get Dinner at Beaches and Cream and watch the show from the Yacht and Beach lighthouse dock. Awesome spot with the fireworks reflecting on the lake.

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.
