“Harmonious,” one of the largest nighttime spectaculars ever created for a Disney park. While the technology, including pyrotechnics, choreographed moving fountains, lighting, massive LED panels, and media are impressive, it’s the music that pulls the story together. The show features new interpretations of classic Disney songs in more than a dozen languages, performed by a diverse group of 240 artists from around the world, including Luis Fonsi, Joy, Danny Gokey, and the Ndlovu Youth Choir.
