I actually think it looks better where they have the lights installed compared to where they don't. Where there isn't a light installed it looks like there is a hole.

I've been negative lately (rightfully so) and now find it a surprise whenever I like what they're doing at Epcot. But I have to admit I'm liking the new vibe (except for the rainbow colored Legacy walls).

↩ replying to DisneyJeffThat's because they are holes and have been since the structure was built. Never quite realized how poor of an appearance it was until now.
My only concern is that the accountants have forced some value engineering here and we won't get coverage of the entire sphere. As shown in the concept art btw. Not sure a band around the middle will have nearly the same effect. Time will tell if that is the plan. 🔮

↩ replying to oogie boogie manI'm 100% with you on this on the changes to the entrance! I hate the barges on the lagoon and the big blue box, but then again, I'm a nobody.

↩ replying to jt04Oh yeah, forgot to add, even if they don't fill all the holes with led lights, I'm hoping they will at least add a similar filler. It really looks better without the gaps. IMO.

Just a note, I don't think the holes have looked like the prior to them starting this work. From zoomed in photos it looks like they've created the more noticeable holes to fit the lights through.

↩ replying to jt04Just added the photo I meant to add showing the drilled out hole, and how it looks before they do that.

↩ replying to Disney AnalystPossibly but I think those braces or supports have always been there in some of the gaps.

↩ replying to Disney AnalystYep...I just zoomed in on a close-up I took on our last trip. Prior to the installation of these lights, there were small, circular fillers with a line across them that helped to hide the larger gaps at these spots. It's hard to tell whether they actually made the gaps larger to install these new lights, though.

↩ replying to Disney AnalystI believe what you're seeing is supporting structure. The "holes" are just places where there is no structure (and never was).
