UPDATED July 29, 2026
The nighttime spectacular in Walt Disney World’s EPCOT is Luminous The Symphony of Us. This production — featuring fireworks, fountains, lasers, lighting effects, and unforgettable Disney songs — debuted on December 5th, 2023.
The show was originally created as part of The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary celebration: Disney 100 Years of Wonder.
Luminous — The Production
Disney shares that viewers can “Delight in a dramatic show designed to bring us all together. Marvel at a dazzling pageant of fireworks, fountains, music and lights set to an original composition. New music, along with evocative selections from the Disney songbook, come together to remind us that we are more alike than we are different.”
Show elements are presented in the center of World Showcase Lagoon.
Fountains, lasers, and other lighting effects, and fireworks bring the show to life!
These colorful and vibrant elements are accompanied, of course, by a score of classic Disney songs.
These Are the BEST and WORST Spots to Watch Luminous in EPCOT
Luminous — The Music
Heartbeat Symphony
Luminous features a series of movements, and throughout, viewers hear two original songs, as well as new arrangements of classic Disney songs. The show begins with voices from around the World Showcase welcoming you to the gathering, followed by the original song, “Heartbeat Symphony.” You can listen to the song in the video below!
Additional Songs in Luminous
Additional songs featured in the production include:
- “You’ll Be in My Heart”
- “Proud Corazón”
- “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”
- “Friend Like Me”
- “So Close” (from Enchanted)
- “When She Loved Me”
- “Remember Me”
- “Into the Unknown”
- “I See the Light”
Beating of Our Hearts
The show concludes with another original number for the finale — “Beating of Our Hearts.” Disney worked with Pinar Toprak to make the score, which features the vocal talents of artists Sheléa and Katharine McPhee.
The music — a true highlight of the show — includes versions sung in multiple languages.
Luminous Showtimes
Luminous is typically shown at 9PM nightly. During EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays, which traditionally starts the day after Thanksgiving and runs through December 30th, it is typically presented at 9:30PM nightly.
Be sure to check the My Disney Experience app or posted schedule boards in the park to confirm the showtime during your visit.
