Hopefully a temporary thing while they work some logistics out?
Were there issues yesterday with light level?

Do you know what makes that picture look so good? It’s the absence of all those blinking lights on Spaceship Earth.

A shame, hopefully they can install some other lighting to keep the walkways safe, and allow the pillars to partake in the show.

I doubt they would build them with color-changing capabilities only to disable them after one day. It's probably either an issue they're working on or they're re-programming some of the very dark sequences to add light as needed.

The beacons are a wonderful addition and it’s nice they mix it up with and without them.

The new World Celebration background music is absolutely incredible!!! Absolutely embodies the spirit of Epcot!! 
Indeed the center lights are changing.
Also, the up lights on the southern magnolias are gently shimmering.

They released that art with the intention of getting people’s hopes up for something they never planned to do and then cut back on multiple times anyway. Even if the end result is good, their own antics are rightfully going to catch up to them.

The art actually isn't that different from what was planned in more detail pre-COVID. The Festival Center, Journey of Water, and the Connections building (unsure if it would have still been the dining space or if it would have traded with Creations) are all still there. The big differences are an alternate asymmetrically quartered garden design, a leveled Creations replaced with semi-toroidal domes, and some indecipherable nonsense photobashery where the Fountain of Nations was.

Ha! That’s what I get for looking at a thumbnail pic!

I can't tell if you're joking but I can name 5 parks that look like this just in New York City alone. Chicago, Philly, Boston, all have parks with similar street furniture and modern landscaping as well. Sections of the The High Line, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Hudson River Park, Bryant Park, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, I could go on. And those parks do it better than whatever this is.

It is fairly disorienting at night due to the lack of actual light (versus show lighting). I'd imagine at some point, one too many trip and falls will happen and they'll make some changes.
Don't get me wrong, I love the show lighting, but it isn't enough to safely walk around.

There are plenty of places in all the parks with less light. E.g., new fantasyland between Pooh and 7DMT.

How cold is it supposed to get tonight down there? Since it's clearly in proximity of the water line, I wonder if they have some automated way of blowing out the sprinklers.
