There’s a line called “too much” that they have the tendency to cross too often. I’m already a little nervous what the “color changing sparkle twinkle disco ball” is going to add to the area. It’s “just enough” as it is.

Anyone kinda happy we got some Mary Poppins in there in the form of Saving Mr Banks?
I doubt that means anything for Cherry Tree Lane in the UK though.
EDIT: I have to admit the loop is definitely growing on me, have to listen to it in full.

Disney posted on their TikTok of them playing/showcasing off the new ribbon lights.

Maybe the first time pr fluff actually put a smile on my face!
Words escape me.
Is this the crowd they pander to? No wonder the park’s going to the dogs south of SSE.

It's just Tiktok. Most companies that use Tiktok for marketing hurt to look at.

It's a funny little gag. It's a couple of grown men acting goofy.
Better than the lifeless manaquin representing the company.

As long as they keep that seizure inducing programming to off hours and relegated to dumb social media videos, I have no problem.
Dare I say, I've been pleasantly surprised thus far at the overall restraint they've shown with their new lighting toys, favoring slow fades and lengthy transitions versus strobe effects and rapid hue changes. I also appreciate the color palette is largely based on SSE, so an overwhelming use of oranges, pinks, and purples that complement rather than clash with the park's icon.

Debatable.
They are saving that for the upcharge dance party events.
“For only $149.99/person, you can attend a 2 hour dance party held at Epcot’s entrance!! Music and lights keyed to the beat, plus a special event-specific cupcake, you won’t want to miss it!!!”

Don’t be surprised to see the dance party lighting used on NYE lol.

The current trees are so awkward. Never quite understood why theres one on one side and two on the other. I'm hoping this is one of the loose ends Zach Ridley alluded to tying up.

I hope the tieing up involves adding trees rather than taking them away.

Ive been listening to the new loop for a while now and I actually do like it. Parts of it did really move me like only Epcot ever could. The feeling of a hopeful and bright future. Something the whole world needs right about now.
Makes me wish this was the way they’d go for Harmonious. Disney films songs are so out of tune for this park
It's sad that the 'new music' is the exact opposite of anything resembling an 'ear worm'.

There used to be more. Seems at one point there were 4 trees in that planter. But I think a combo of natural decay and hurricane season damage has left us with a lonely survivor over there now.

Wait. *Those* are the palm trees people want?
They're just... anemic. Scraggly tufts at the top and spindly twigs for trunks. Completely the wrong scale for SSE.
IMO.

Right. They're palm trees.
There are dozens and dozens of species of palm. You don't have to go with one that is so paltry.

I think those fronds would look too busy and messy beside the minimalist elegance of SSE.
