Epcot Forever or Jingle Bam fireworks?

Which firework show is better? Thanks!

Very much personal preference, but generally I prefer the projection-less Epcot Forever vs the projection-heavy JBJB. But could lean either way depending on other park plans.

^ That’s my thought too!

I’ve booked the Frozen dessert party for my next trip.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I loved Epcot Forever! While I do enjoy JBJB as well, I would choose Epcot. I almost wish it was sticking around a little longer, though I'm sure HarmoniUS will be great as well.

Thanks all!

Neither one really did much for me.
If you haven't seen either, i would lean toward EPCOT Forever as it will only be around for a year. And the kites are amazing!
JBJB most likely will be around for quite a while, so you have many other chances to see it.

DHS seemed nice on youtube

I think my answer partly depends on when you might be returning to Disney World. JBJB is only offered during the holidays, so if this is your only December trip I would do that. This is especially true if you’ll be back to Disney World within the next year.

Then you also have to consider that Epcot forever will be ending in May. So this could be the only trip to see that as well.

Sorry, I'm out of the loop: Epcot Forever is only temporary? Where can I find info about HarmoniUS?

Yes, it was billed as a temporary show from the time it was announced, as a placeholder until the new show is ready. Here's one description from the Disney site of what HarmonioUS is supposed to be about.

In 2020, following the limited-time run of “Epcot Forever,” the new “HarmonioUS” will debut as the largest nighttime spectacular ever created for a Disney park. It will celebrate how the music of Disney inspires people the world over, carrying you away harmoniously on a stream of familiar Disney tunes reinterpreted by a diverse group of artists from around the globe. “HarmonioUS” will feature massive floating set pieces, custom-built LED panels, choreographed moving fountains, lights, pyrotechnics, lasers and more.

I saw JBJB on Saturday and I say go for the Epcot show

JBJB was pretty mediocre IMO. One and done for us.

We saw Jingle Bell Jingle BAM on Saturday also and it is really more about the story and the projections than the fireworks. We didn't see EPCOT Forever in person but saw it twice (Saturday and Sunday) from our balcony at the Boardwalk and the Fireworks were far more impressive if that is what you like. We could also see the light up kites and those were really cool too. I bet even more so in person. I would opt for EPCOT Forever but I really like fireworks.

They named a temporary show "Forever"?
