Disney4me Posted December 5, 2023 Report Posted December 5, 2023 Itâs TIME! One of our favorite things about EPCOT is finally BACK! EPCOT Does anyone else miss those fun lights that were embedded in the ground back when Future World was a thing in EPCOT? Well, we have good news for you! The glowing sidewalks are officially BACK in EPCOT! Glowing sidewalks The new version is a little bit different than the lights you remember from several years ago. Previously, they were little sparks like this⊠Lights | 2019 âŠbut now theyâre more like glowing lines on the ground! Glowing sidewalks We first heard that these glowing sidewalks would be appearing in World Celebration over a year ago, and we couldnât wait to check them out. Now that the World Celebration Gardens are finally open and itâs gotten dark enough outside, we can see them! EPCOTâs NEW Glowing Sidwalks When it was first announced that the glowing sidewalks would return, an EPCOT Imagineer shared that the lighting fixtures would incorporate updated technology and âcontrollability to deliver some fun new lighting capabilities.â Cool new lights Part of those new âcapabilitiesâ is that the lights coordinate with the lights on Spaceship Earth! The glowing walkways change colors and are synchronized with Spaceship Earth! pic.twitter.com/ZEFGeMKhFL â Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) December 5, 2023 We talked to some Imagineers today who told us that the glowing sidewalks were inspired by that fiber optic concrete we remember and contain over 300 LED lights embedded in the pavement. Weâre gearing up for the new World Celebration Gardens area of EPCOT to truly LIGHT UP after the sun goes down! Cast members that worked on this project shared with us how the lights are synchronized to Spaceship Earth! pic.twitter.com/1MsQLvnzuX â Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) December 5, 2023 They synchronize with the Spaceship Earth show and can be easily adapted to each new show every time it changes. We frequently see new shows on Spaceship Earth for the various EPCOT festivals, so itâs fun that the lights here will change too. Synchronizing with Spaceship Earth lighting The lights are located in the Dreamers Point section of the World Celebration Gardens (by the big planter). They make up the EPCOT logo thatâs on the ground around the central planter. Here we go! pic.twitter.com/XGaTIfCX1X â Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) December 5, 2023 There are also some other lights in this area, including underneath some of the benches⊠Lights under the benches âŠand hanging from poles.
