But guests of Epcot aren’t out of luck when it comes to nighttime entertainment, as Epcot Forever will fill the void temporarily when it debuts on October 1, 2019!
Epcot Forever Begins October 1, 2019!
Epcot Forever is described as a “breathtaking display” with music “at the heart of the show”. Epcot Forever will also incorporate “kites AND…”, creating a fusion of technologies to illuminate the skies over World Showcase.
Music of Epcot will be at the heart of Epcot Forever!
Epcot’s permanent replacement is still in development (see more here!). We spotted some construction presumably for the new show last December, and we’re still watching for more details to emerge.

In the meantime, we’ll enjoy the final months of the show until the “torches dim on IllumiNations”.
