PHOTOS & VIDEOS: Wait ’Til You See EPCOT’s New Jaw-Dropping Nighttime Lighting!
A LOT of things are changing at EPCOT.
Not too long ago, the new EPCOT fountain was revealed. After that, the Leave a Legacy tiles came back in a new form. And today some retro EPCOT flags were installed near Spaceship Earth. But, the fun ain’t over yet! Now, the EPCOT entrance now has a new nighttime lighting look you’ll totally want to check out!
Earlier today, we shared a post from Imagineer Zach Riddley about some of the changes coming to EPCOT’s entrance. In it, Riddley said that a NEW “a color-coordinated light ribbon around the entire rim of the [EPCOT entrance] plaza is debuting tonight.” This new light ribbon ties into the nighttime fountain lighting we’ve already gotten the chance to see.
So, after a long day of eating LOTS of delicious treats at the International Flower & Garden Festival, we made our way over to EPCOT’s entrance to see what this new nighttime look is all about! Even though it wasn’t too dark yet, we could already see the new lights in action.
The lights are on the structures surrounding the EPCOT entrance plaza.
They light up in a variety of colors and you can take a seat or stand in the plaza to see them change.

The new light display is pretty enough at dusk…but it’s even more beautiful at night!
Overall, it’s a simple detail that adds a nice pop of color and another unique aspect to EPCOT’s look.
Riddley has also shared that EPCOT also has a new main entrance soundtrack which we got to hear today.
So, the next time you’re walking through the entrance, be sure to pay EXTRA close attention to the music you hear!

And soon Spaceship Earth will get in on the action with its own dramatic, new nighttime look! As part of the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World, Spaceship Earth will get a makeover with new lights shining across its reflective panels. The lights will connect to form a starry-night sky!
And while this new look will debut with the 50th Anniversary, it’ll actually be staying beyond the 18-month celebration.

We can’t wait to see EPCOT’s fully transformed nighttime look once the Spaceship Earth lights debut. We’ll be on the lookout for more updates about that and other changes going on around Disney World. Stay tuned for all the latest Disney news!
