Spaceship Earth to Light Up Night with Disney100 Show Moment

Throughout the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort, Spaceship Earth has been lighting up the night at EPCOT with some absolutely beautiful show moments. There have been quite the variety of moments that have been created through beautiful lights, color, and music on this EPCOT icon. This included a Walt Disney World Resort 50th moment, another one dedicated to EPCOT’s 40th anniversary, and still others that celebrated different festivals at EPCOT. Soon, a new show moment will bring the exterior of Spaceship Earth to life as The Walt Disney Company celebrates its 100th anniversary.

This Disney100 show moment will be arriving later this year at EPCOT. Ahead of its arrival, Disney has shared a couple of photos to give a glimpse of what guests will see when they experience these Disney100 moments at EPCOT.

“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.”

This nighttime show moment at EPCOT will be arriving later this year along with Mickey and Minnie in their platinum Disney100-inspired outfits. They will be meeting with guests at EPCOT, which is the centerpiece of the Disney100 celebration at Walt Disney World Resort. There will also be Disney100 photo ops found throughout Walt Disney World Resort, surprise character moments at the hotels, merchandise, foods, and more!
