The first Harmonious barge has been removed from World Showcase Lagoon in EPCOT following the end of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration.

First Harmonious Barge Removed

We saw today that the first Harmonious barge has been disassembled and removed from the World Showcase Lagoon in EPCOT at Walt Disney World. Let’s take a closer look.

The barge closest to Germany and Italy is gone. Lights have been removed off the tops of the barges as well. Three of the four corner barges remain.

Two barges still float to the right of the center feature when facing The American Adventure.

Only one barge remains on the left side.

A Cast Member can be seen in a boat within World Showcase Lagoon today.

The barges have had a tumultuous existence. Last October, one of the performance structures caught fire on World Showcase Lagoon.

This certainly wasn’t an isolated incident. Previously, following a performance of Harmonious, part of the America Gardens Theater in The American Adventure caught fire. Scorch marks were briefly visible, but quickly cleaned up by the next day. The theater was able to operate normally for scheduled Eat to the Beat concert performances during the 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

Are you glad to see the barges being dismantled? We’d love to see your opinions about it in the comments.
