A few days ahead of its debut, WDW Magazine caught this Harmonious testing footage from the BoardWalk just outside of EPCOT.

On Sept. 29, the new Harmonious nighttime spectacular at EPCOT will get a soft debut as members of the media (WDW Magazine included!) take it in for the first time. But those who aren’t on the press list can still watch along via the livestream (with another for Disney Enchantment on Sept. 30).

Then on Oct. 1, in honor of the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, EPCOT and Magic Kingdom will officially debut the Harmonious and Disney Enchantment nighttime spectaculars, respectively.

But if you stay up late enough (we’re talking 1 AM), you can often catch Disney testing changes or updates to its nighttime spectaculars before they premiere.
