A new lighting sequence is now playing on Spaceship Earth as part of the 2022 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival.



The new 3 minute sequence is set to an orchestral version of "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas - watch the video below to see the entire show. (4K YouTube)

According to the designers, "vibrant greens, earth tones and pastels celebrate the rejuvenation of spring."

The lighting sequences on Spaceship Earth begin at sunset, which is currently around 6:30pm. The new Colors of the Wind sequence plays about 3 times per hour, approximately every 20 minutes.

Disney has used the 2000 points of lights to create unique lighting designs for the 50th anniversary Beacons of Magic, the holiday season, and most recently the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.

I think having a progression show through the night could be amazing. By example, an appropriate edit of Tomorrow's Child (orchestral), Papillon, We Go On, and the new theme. Then they could do a rotating one (IP or not) for each festival. It could actually add a really nice touch of history/progression on the icon. And, they could use songs that work for new guests as beautiful sounds - and add nostalgia for those who have been coming for awhile.
Has anyone else noticed that one LED light that’s out? Is it on purpose or has one already died?

Probably just another Disney cut-back. Nothing to see here! However, if you're willing to give them a Twenty they will turn it on for you.

I was more referring to recreating those designs and patterns with the Points of Light wither into a small show or as transitions in some type of Epcot through the years Points of Light show.

They keep giving a bulb to Tinkerbell to fix it, but, hoarder that she is, she just stashes it away.
so when they changin' the sign out front?

To what? (honest question)
It's refreshing to see something without princesses or other IPs crammed down our throats. I think this is tasteful and classy. Unlike the monstrosity on the lake.

You're supposed to pronounce that, Eeee, Peee, Ceee, Ohhhh, Teee now. It's no longer an acronym.

Honest, not meaning to be condescending, but how the hell does that affect your enjoyment of EpCoT. Why does something so trivial matter to anyone. Does one go to look at the signs or to enjoy the parks?
↩ replying to Goofyernmost
Doesn't matter to you and that's ok. Matters to others, and that's ok, too.
↩ replying to Goofyernmost
I think it's something to discuss; as in: What is the significance of this change? Idle curiosity when you're not in the parks.

Oh, and to add more pedantic to this discussion; it's EPCoT Center. It will ALWAYS be EPCoT Center. Just like it will ALWAYS be MGM Studios!

No, the proper word for that is denial! 🙃 If I don't recognize it, it will go away! 🧐

👍🏽I've come to the conclusion that I am the most un-Disney Disney fan. I couldn't tell you the font of any Disney sign two minutes after I looked at it. I was blown away by the vitriol surrounding the new crepetaria and I actually like seeing Ip
I think some folks are purist so any change is going to have implications but as @Nunu said everyone has their own opinion on what is important and its all good.
