** "Finale" provides one of the most surprising deep cuts in recent times for a Disney park show as it's entirely a cover of "Someday" from ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Even with the film's rise in status over the last several years, "Someday" hasn't had the same level of success likely due to being a credits song, but this show changes that by giving it all the gravitas it deserves. The projections then display a massive, blue heart before the true finale begins, with fireworks erupting from points around the entire world showcase as if to truly represent the meaning of Epcot and the song. These fireworks were deployed mere feet away from guests who got that much more immersed. For the very end, there was a massive bass drop where everything went silent before the final word of the song, "Soon!", and ''then'' we finally get the ending. ''Harmonious'' may have been short, but it left its' mark.

* ''Ride/WondrousJourneys'', Disneyland's nighttime spectacular during 2023's 100 Years of Wonder, earned praise as a return to form for Disney's nightly theme park shows. With remixed clips and concept art from the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon's first 62 movies, covers of some classic songs and deep cuts, and the rousing new theme "It's Wondrous," the show evokes a sense of joining characters both iconic and obscure through yearning, adventure, despair, and victory. One early highlight mashes up "[[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Go the Distance]]," "[[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle (reprise)]]," "[[WesternAnimation/{{Moana}} How Far I'll Go]]," and "[[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Out There]]" into one of the most epic [[IWantSong "I Want" Songs]] ever heard at the parks.

** The journey proper begins as multiple characters and vehicles soar up into the air. An instrumental of "[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 For the First Time in Forever]]" provides an adventurous accompaniment, then becomes almost ethereal when [[WesternAnimation/FrozenII Gale lifts up Anna and Elsa]]. Before the music fades out, the comets from [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Sorcerer Mickey's dream]] fly towards a CGI wishing star.

** "Opening Chants" contains the opening vocals from many films such as "Vuelie" from ''Frozen'', the chorus from "The Bells of Notre Dame" from ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', the extended version of "Nants Ingonyama" from the Broadway production of ''Theatre/TheLionKing'', and Ariel's primary theme from ''The Little Mermaid''.
** "Awakening" is a medley of "How Far I'll Go" and "Go the Distance", sung in a variety of different languages. "Go the Distance" soon is sung in Greek, and the singers' voices are practically ''trembling'' with how much power they're putting into it, accompanied by visuals of great Greek pillars. The two songs then blend into one, and you'd be forgiven for assuming this was already the finale of the show.
** "Middle East" brings in the 2019 remake version of "Arabian Nights", paying homage to one of the better received live-action remakes that found a following all of its' own. "India" follows up with an epic Bollywood-style cover of "I Wanna Be Like You".
** "China" mostly revolves around "Reflection" from Mulan, incorporating gorgeous water painting-style visuals and soon an epic climax featuring motion-capture footage of real actors performing martial artists, recreating Mulan and Shang's training during the end of "I'll Make a Man Out of You".
** "Africa" focuses entirely on ''The Lion King'', and after "Hakuna Matata", it launches into an absolutely ''epic'' cover of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". The visuals show the animals of the Pride Lands gathering to celebrate their future king, before transitioning into Mufasa's ghost appearing in the night sky before Simba.
** "Europe" starts out slow and beautiful, having a choral cover of the "Prologue" theme from ''Beauty and the Beast'' while a projection of Belle and the Beast is shown, and even they are beneath a projection of the enchanted rose. As the score picks up, it crescendos into an almighty, booming cover of the main theme of "Hellfire", showing Disney isn't afraid to acknowledge the darkest song in its' catalogue, knowing how popular and amazing it is. We then get "Out There" covered in both English and French, and it's worth noting in the live proshot in 2022, the singers have visible ManlyTears. "Europe" then culminates in a mostly orchestral cover of "Touch the Sky" from ''Brave'', with the proshot having an absolutely badass elderly bagpipe player going off, and Lindsey Stirling leading on strings.
** "Latin America" has Luis Fonsi lead a heartwarming cover of "Remember Me" from Coco, which then transitions into a delightful cover of "WesternAnimation/SaludosAmigos", before returning to ''Coco'' with "The World Es Mi Familia". Just like "Awakening", you'd be forgiven for thinking this was the finale.
** "U.S.A." devotes itself entirely to "Dig a Little Deeper" from ''The Princess and the Frog'', with an epic gospel choir carrying it all the way through. The singers more than hold their own, however, and for the ''third'' time, you'd think this was the finale.
** "Finale" provides one of the most surprising deep cuts in recent times for a Disney park show as it's entirely a cover of "Someday" from ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame".
