We are going to the World the second week of February and was wondering if they still perform the good night kiss and the barge brun off at Epcot. Please let me know. Many thanks.

It's an internet forum, where people discuss all things Disney World. But that's not important right now!
I'm at a loss too. What are you refering too?

The good night kiss I have seen many times and usually occurs 30 minutes after the Magic Kingdom closes. Plant yourself in front of the castle and enjoy. I won't spoil it for you but it is worth the wait. Especially since you get to walk down a pretty empty main street afterwards.
I am hoping to see the barge burn off for the first time on my trip next week. It's the fire barge used in Illuminations. They burn off the propane long after the show. It's supposed to be very loud and very cool. I have heard you have to wait 1 - 1.5 hours after closing though. Hopefully I won't get swept from the park before it goes off.

Yes they do.
To those in the dark let me shed some light.
The kiss good night....A special message and lighting done on the castle about 1/2 hour after close.

Barge burn off....After all of the fireworks barges have come off the lake after illuminations the last bit of fuel is burned off the barge in one big blast.

LOL
The barge burn off is in EPCOT.
If the inferno barge does not use all its fuel during the performace, before they drag it back into its berth for the night, they do a burn off to get rid of whatever fuel is left.
They used to do this around 10:30 at night, so if it was EMH (or you just were slow getting out
) you could see it. I have heard, but don't know for sure, that they don't do this anymore. That now the final burn during the show is a full burn-out using whatever fuel is left in the barge.I guess that makes the show less consistent, from a tmining standpoint, but saves some time during tear down.
The good night kiss is at WDW at closing. They play the dedication speech and the castle gets all sorts of color washes.
As far as I can tell, it's pretty random as to when (and if) they do it.
Somtimes I have seen it, other times not.
Eh, I just looked

That's funny............................And don't call me Shirley.
Kiss goodnight is lovely, but if its EMH try and find a CM who knows the exact time (not that easy) since they may do a few. Also be aware the audio is only played in the hub; the rest of MSUSA and Town Square still plays the area loop.
The blowoff I`m not sure about; in 2007 it was still done, but last year they incorporated it in the final burst of fire at the end of Chaos (ie during the show)
