Disney says that World Celebration will unite the front of the park, tying together the other two new EPCOT neighborhoods, World Discovery and World Nature.

The completion of the last of the park’s three neighborhoods is the latest major milestone in EPCOT’s multi-year transformation.

They could have waited until June 9th for her Epcot M&G to end and then one day later she's now at DHS, lol

Ground lighting in the central planter area is still completely shut off, with no signs of returning any time soon…

I don't know why, but as soon as I hear "Joy" this immediately comes to mind:

What a headline.

Lights are used in the day, yes - but provided a much better show at night. Much like America Gardens Theater, this spot will really be utilized as the sun lowers in the sky and the rest of the Epcot lighting (however much of that lighting is still functional) comes on.

One thing is for sure, guests will be hot most of the year, and always standing while watching these shows. I'll take an air conditioned space and a place to sit anytime!

Stage lighting is used during the day. The lights imply nothing about showtime plans.

I would assume many shows will be at night, hence the lights.

I I know they tore down the original innoventions buildings by accident, but I wish they simply gutted the buildings and put a stage inside the building so the performances could be enjoyed in an air conditioned space, and maybe even with seating!! I know, I know, I am such a dreamer. This standing in the hot sun to watch stuff is not good. Yes, I remember watching the fountain of nations in the hot sun, but the water spray from fountains was like natural air conditioning and it was bearable to stand there and watch the fountain show.
