The show celebrates the way Disney music inspires people around the world, carrying them away on a stream of familiar songs reinterpreted by a culturally diverse group of 240 artists from around the globe, Disney described in a news release.

“Harmonious” features massive floating show barges, custom-built LED panels, choreographed moving fountains, lights, pyrotechnics, lasers and more.

Disney said the nighttime show is one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney theme park.

As guests exited the park Tuesday, they were amazed as Spaceship Earth lit up in brilliant color and light.

New lighting also shined from a Monorail train, as it traveled through EPCOT.
