I'm I supposed to be in a rage about something that *probably* will *seem* to be a slight protrusion on a sphere with many protrusions and large black holes where the shingles don't seemlessly meet as it is right now?

It seems I can probably jump up and put my fists through those gaping holes.

To each their own I guess. I myself am not in a rage, that's a bit extreme. But so far, I'm not a fan at all of how these look. "Seamless" my foot.

Just think. They could have installed projectors, and instead of dazzling us with blinking snap-on lights, they could shine 165-foot close-ups of Elsa and Anna our way... simultaneously negating the need to trash World Showcase Lagoon with taco-shaped sports arena LED signage to do the same on a much smaller scale. No, I'm not being entirely serious. Or am I? 😆

Well, let's assume for a second that (hidden) projectors are capable of projecting images and designs that have nothing to do with Disney IP...

Oh, I agree. I'm also of the opinion that Disney goes out of their way to be tacky with most things. You don't need to throw 4,193 different images onto the castle all at once. Less is more.

What's wrong with Spaceship Earth as it is? How many millions of night-time photos has it appeared in because people have spent 39 years thinking it was/is already a beautiful sight to behold?

Orange floodlights are. The. Worst.

LOL. Yeah, we could do without so much of the orange.

My point is that I see enough beauty with simple floodlights:

I don't see the benefit in attempting to bedazzle something that is already a jewel.

Tone down the tacky, Disney. And the orange.

As of lately, I sure do tend to agree with the first part of this! As for the second, EXACTLY!

I can't help but tell you how strongly I agree with the second paragraph. I respect the originality and actual beauty of the outer shell of SSE and hate to see it cheapened for some less then classy light show with permanent props. (i.e. Taco Lagoon)

That said, the first paragraph has a couple variables in it. First is that projections on any object are corrected by an off switch on the projectors. No harm done! Second as far a projection shows go of any type, WDW is an entertainment venue and tacky, gaudy or any other descriptive adjective meaning over the top is as much a part of the inner personality of a fantasy theme park as breathing is to the guests. Without that you would be paying a whole lot of money to be bored.
