Special Spaceship Earth Lighting Coming to EPCOT as Part of Disney100 Celebration
Yesterday, Walt Disney World announced that the night sky above EPCOT will light up with a dazzling spectacle of colors and lights as Spaceship Earth honors Disney100 with a special display later in 2023.
Here’s your first look at what’s sure to be a memorable moment during the celebration:
Walt Disney Imagineering has been dreaming up new ways to celebrate this important milestone by turning to their own cherished memories and favorite Disney stories as they create this one-of-a-kind display.
“The Show Lighting Team at Walt Disney Imagineering has been amazed at our guests’ reaction to the nightly shows on Spaceship Earth,” said Jason Read, show lighting designer principal for Walt Disney Imagineering. “We’ve helped celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World, EPCOT’s 40th and the park’s signature festivals. Now, we’re excited to have Spaceship Earth ring in the biggest celebration yet, the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company.”
“We’re also inspired by many things from the history of the company, its characters, theme parks and shows – even the Disney100 opening logo that plays before our feature films during this anniversary,” Read continued. “You may see homages to everything from the ‘Wonderful World of Disney’ television show opening to Mickey balloons that we sell on Main Street, U.S.A.”
