PHOTOS & VIDEOS: See Spaceship Earth’s NEW Look for the 40th Anniversary of EPCOT!

[Disney4me]

All day we’ve been shouting a huge Happy 40th Anniversary to EPCOT!

Happy 40th, EPCOT!

We’ve been taking you along with us as we checked out the commemorative guide map we got, saw all the merchandise available (and the LONG lines for it), and we made sure we had the perfect spot to see the big finale tonight. Tonight, EPCOT lit up in a new way during the Beacons of Magic show, and we were front and center for it!

Spaceship Earth got some new lighting effects for this very special Beacons of Magic show, and we were so excited to see what the Imagineers cooked up.

Only true EPCOT fans will know what’s on Spaceship Earth now — that’s right, it’s the EPCOT logo!

The show plays One Little Spark from Journey Into Imagination with Figment, plus we noticed music from Illuminations (the old nighttime spectacular at EPCOT), and there’s even a quote from Walt Disney!

So pretty

Disney did not say if this would happen for one night or for several nights but either way, there will be a Beacon of Magic each night. If it’s not the 40th anniversary version, we spotted an EPCOT Food & Wine Festival show when the festival kicked off this summer!
