Hello, travelers. Welcome to Epcot in the evening and also Walk About the World, your apparently evening fireworks destination here at Walt Disney to Epcot, looking up at Spaceship Earth and the flags, and it's beautiful and it's cool. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's cool. And we're here on a very special mission tonight, ducked in late, because we're going to catch one of the very last recordings of Epcot Forever. It goes away, and in a couple of days, Harmonious will debut. We thought we'd come over and catch one of the last two showings. Come along with us, let's go! You can't just walk by one or two of the speakers that still play the old music. This one's in a little planter right across from Living With The Land. Ah. ah okay off we go pre-show music for epcot Forever.
