Is Harmonious at EPCOT worth it?

As a whole, the visuals of Harmonious are pretty. The fountains, lasers, lights, and other effects are eye-catching and engaging. If you have a direct view of the Stargate, you'll likely leave impressed. The use of screens leaves something to be desired.

However, I do have a couple of favorite nighttime spectacular viewing locations that I'd be happy to share with you! The patio outside the Italy pavilion is my go-to place to watch Harmonious.

Ultimately, the answer to the question, “should you skip Epcot?” is ABSOLUTELY NOT as of 2023. Navigating the sea of construction walls isn't really as bad as it might seem–and while it'll be a lovely environment once finished, there aren't any rides you'll miss in that Giant Epcot Dirt Pit.
