At the D23 Expo, they announced that for Disney World Company’s 100th anniversary and Epcot’s 40th anniversary, there will be an all-new nighttime show coming to Epcot later in 2023.

The last day to enjoy Harmonious at EPCOT will be on April 2, 2023. After this date, the previous show EPCOT Forever will return. In preparation for a big nighttime show change, we will see the return of a former EPCOT nighttime show…again.  

Disney confirmed that the first show of EPCOT Forever will be on April 3, 2023, at 9:00 pm.

As the D23 Parks panel opened, Jordan Fisher sang a fantastic rendition of “Happily Ever After,” the beloved fireworks spectacular’s theme song. Then, Josh D’Amaro announced Happily Ever After is returning to Walt Disney World in 2023!

Following that announcement, Disney clarified we were not going to be seeing the return of Happily Ever After like we thought. The announcement stated the song “Happily Ever After” will return to Walt Disney World as part of an updated nighttime spectacular. It is set to debut in 2023.
