Walt Disney Imagineering Files Permit for Massive Centerpiece “Harmonious” Barge at EPCOT

Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a new permit for “Harmonious”, the upcoming nighttime spectacular at EPCOT. The permit is for the “installation of anchors to provide additional mooring for center barge.”

The “center barge” listed is of course the giant circular barge we recently spotted under construction backstage. The contractor listed on the permit is Cloud 9 Services, an underground utilities company in Orlando. The expiration date runs through December 21, 2021, meaning work must be completed by then if an extension is not filed.

Though there’s no word about when “Harmonious” might debut, EPCOT did conduct fireworks tests after park close in September. It was originally set to debut in Spring 2020 and construction began in January, but it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
