Last week we reported that Guests spotted full fireworks testing being done at EPCOT. Now, overnight, it looks as though the theme park tested fireworks once again!
At approximately 1 a.m., several Guests reported that they heard loud booms from inside their Resort hotel rooms. When they went outside to the BoardWalk, they saw fireworks light up the night sky! These fireworks were coming from EPCOT and so they were more than likely testing for the upcoming nighttime spectacular, HarmonioUS.

As previously mentioned, this is not the first time Guests have spotted EPCOT testing fireworks. In fact, Guests have been spotting small fireworks being set off late at night for a few months now, but now, the testing seems to be happening on a more steady basis. Does this mean Disney World is gearing up to bring fireworks back and to debut HarmonioUS soon?
Well, at this time, Disney has not announced a return date for fireworks, including Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom or Fantasmic! at Hollywood Studios, or a debut date for EPCOT’s upcoming fireworks spectacular, HarmonioUS, but Inside the Magic will continue to update you as we get information.
