Yeah, "seamless" is not how I would describe that test light. Reminds me of a stuck on tap light. Not sure why they couldn't use some kind of LED rope lighting or neon strips that could have been tucked between the panels.

Sorry, a bit vague in my initial post - was trying to say it's probably easier to program the projection effects for the decor pieces with them being physically present. Didn't mean to imply the decorations had built in lighting.

It's probably less about the existing show projections and more for programming the EARidescence effects, which will undoubtedly be used to highlight the anniversary decor. Easier to program them with the decor up rather than having to make a best guess on their locations. Or maybe the... mixed...

I know these are just tests but good grief is all that terrible looking. Just an obnoxious amount of water being shot into the air creating a huge cloud of mist. I never had much faith in the fountains to improve things during the day, but I did at least think they'd look cool during the show...

There is a certain "coldness" to the room in the pics. A warmer color temperature for the lighting would make a big difference I think, and maybe it is warmer looking in real life and it's just the camera settings making it look more daylight vs. warm white. I like it overall. I do think it's...

Easy! Add Aladdin and Jasmine for the kiddies, keep the belly dancer for the adults (or at least the fathers, I guess). ;) But really, a sort of royal palace show could be fun. Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie (maybe include Abu and Rajah) are the characters/hosts with periodic belly dancing and...

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.

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...

So, that looks pretty amazing. A proper upgrade over the previous rim lights (which I think were just fluorescent tubes). Well done, entrance team. Well done.

Building on the post from @Prototype82, the logos are also color coded if that helps at all. Reds for World Discovery, blues for World Celebration, green/teal for World Nature, and World Showcase is full on yellow. There's definitely been thought put into their design, and certainly having...

I don't mind the new loop based on what I've heard thus far. Generic, but conveys the right mood for the park, and no blatant IP remixes is a big win considering how the park is changing to purportedly become "more Disney." I'm sure it'll grow on me over time. The grumbling about the lack of...

Nail on the head. And to specifically tie it back to EPCOT, it's why Chapek's "more relevant, more timeless, more Disney" nonsense about the park's redo is just absurd. Disney literally conceived and built EPCOT - what could be "more Disney" than that?

Do we know for sure it's the new permanent entrance BGM today? I seem to remember previous years had festival specific music in the entrance plaza, and F&G does start today. EDIT: Nevermind, I see Ridley specifically mentioned the new music in his Instagram post.

Since the marina and bridge are a no go at this point, I'd build some auxiliary docks next to the existing lagoon islands and park the tacos there during the day. Bulk up the island vegetation and paint the taco barges go away green and they should be relatively hidden from most angles. Then...

Maybe someone else can confirm, but I suspect it's because they just reused the existing dock that was built for the Earth Globe and inferno barge for RoE. The 3-piece Stargate monstrosity is so much bigger than those previous barges that it's shifted the entire show footprint westward when...

Nice to see there's still someone who noticed and cared enough to get more trees planted. Morocco pavilion has certainly been getting some love recently, which is a pleasant surprise.

Does this mean they are finally getting rid of the tacky gold arches and stage platforms? Hopefully those eyesores won’t be coming back.

Not to be a debbie-downer, but I think it just looks like a construction wall. It's just too tall. Plus, folks are going to have a hard time identifying their pictures if their tile was placed in the top third of the wall, let alone read any text if they went that route. And it seems they're...

Exactly, and yet another example of how standards have fallen on this project. For example, the Earth Barge for RoE featured a chain link(?) fence with black slats that was both safety barrier and screen that hid the various components under the globe. The end result was a comparatively clean...

I really think they should put some kind of artwork on it rather than the current (horribly painted) nothing-to-see-here black. A SSE triangle motif, a retro-ish blue and silver color block pattern, flags of World Showcase... it could only improve the look at this point. And since they're...
