Don't feel bad. The contractor that designed the barges also fooled WDI with the classic "water is a solid object" trick.Still amazed how I thought they could ever make those monstrosities look good.

News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
Please inform us which World Showcase pavilions the following are tied into:
Moana
Hercules
Brave
The Lion King
The Jungle Book
For the sake of brevity, we won't even go into the tenuous links, at best, for Aladdin and Princess and the Frog.

Fair, but aren't the pre-schoolers, school-aged kids, and teenagers looking for Scotland and not the UK when they are buying 'Brave' merchandise? Are they even aware of the geography involved?
Disney could easily remedy this by simply listing what movies are associated with each pavilion and food kiosk on the maps, digital and physical.

Technically, there’s also African Outpost, and Moana will be in the park soon enough. 
That said, the unrepresented countries would be awesome additions both visually and culinarily. Greece and India are oft requested.

And Australia and perhaps South Korea would be worthwhile additions.Technically, there’s also African Outpost, and Moana will be in the park soon enough.

I really wanted Russia with a Haunted Mansion-style Anastasia Once Upon a December attraction after they got control of the film, but that seems unlikely now given the political climate.

I really can't make this up. The one Disney Minecraft server is burning the barges:

@marni1971 If I quit my job and go record them dismantling Harmonious, can we make an even more epic video of the deconstruction vs. the show itself?

And just like that, the Epcot Forever barge arrangement is in. That's enough sidetracking this thread.

Africa is represented in world showcase. The others, no they're not but those countries exist and deserve to be recognized even if they don't have a pavilion, wouldn't you say? Inclusion is important.

As was pointed out above, Scotland is represented in the form of the UK pavilion. The UK isn’t synonymous with England (regardless of what Disney’s lawyers may think!).

Was it ever mentioned or do we know who actually constructed / designed the tacos for wdi?

I feel so indifferent towards this whole thing. To me, Harmonious is a show that served no purpose beyond just existing. Did I enjoy the soundtrack? Sure. Did it belong in EPCOT? No, I don't think so. Did that stop me from listening to the soundtrack in my car on my commute home from work? Definitely not. It had its moments.
I'm not happy or sad to see it leave. If anything, I'm celebrating the removal of the barges more than the departure of the show itself. It was doing the bare minimum to justify its existence in that park, but it's nowhere near as bad as some people were making it out to be. As others have stated, it needed some tweaking like an overarching score, and adjustments made to the "story" to help the flow. I think it's arrogant to assume that "nobody will miss it" because although I may not myself, I can at least acknowledge the fact that people did enjoy it. It was an objectively bad show but it's done and over with, there's no need to insult the intelligence / taste of those who may look back fondly on it.

I had also heard this about Harmonious, but wonder if any insiders can verify: The surrounding resorts that have fireworks views, like the new Swan reserve with its big viewing area, were less than impressed because the show had too many low bursts and long periods of time without fireworks. Apparently it was worse than meh when it came to booking those room categories and lounges. It looked more like pryo accents than an actual fireworks presentation. I heard this from a manager within the Crecent lake resorts.
Epcot shows have always relied on mainly low level pyro and had long periods with low pyro.
