Photos, Video: Spaceship Earth as the Beacon of Magic

During Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary each of the icons at the four Walt Disney World theme parks transforms at night into a Beacon of Magic.

At EPCOT, new lights shine across the reflective panels of Spaceship Earth, connecting to one another like stars in a nighttime sky and creating a mesmerizing symbol of optimism. The iconic structure’s permanent new lighting will continue beyond “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” as a defining feature of the park.

This new look is the best thing that has come during the 50th-anniversary celebration. These lights give you a new reason to stay later or gather around 7:45 p.m. to watch the first performance. But throughout the night after Harmonious, to closing, just head over to Spaceship Earth and take your time to enjoy the lights change.

In the video, make sure to stick around after the Beacon of Magic show to see how the ball changes. We speeded up light show for effect.
