New landscaping in World Celebration near Spaceship Earth
Posted: Wednesday May 11, 2022 10:00am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

More construction walls have been removed at EPCOT as another small section of World Celebration is completed.

The line of walls removed was alongside Spaceship Earth, across from Guest Relations.

The new area shows refreshed landscaping and concrete.


This latest area to be completed continues the progress from the main entrance into the next major focus of the EPCOT redevelopment - completing World Celebration.

Yes, they are also hard and sturdy, as opposed to floppy like the old ones. They’re also very reflective.

Do they look any higher quality than the old ones? I’m curious if they will be testing it tonight.

Here’s some photos I got a few days ago. These were taken the first day they were being installed, so there are much more installed now.

New Translucent LED diffusers seem be replacing the newly installed white covers in the broken ground lighting, maybe they are fixing it after all.

If only they had a master of flooring working on this project…

In better news, the perimeter fountain lights were recently repaired. The big beam into the sky should be working again soon as well

I am generally understanding, but this can't be that hard.

Half of the central light pillars are still stuck on a bright white on the sides, and one of them is still completely off on the sides…

None of the ribbon lighting around the entrance plaza is working correctly at this point, it’s not animating and several sections are completely broken/ incorrect colors/ delayed. Literally dozens of the points of light on SSE are constantly on when they shouldn’t be, and are blinking and flashing different colors like plane beacons. I will say that they finally fixed the fountain lights, (although the spotlight in the middle hasn’t turned on in over two years) but everything else is an utter disaster maintenance-wise at the moment. So many lighting effects broken in the main gardens too…

The amount of cracks and chips in the brand new pavement is crazy.
