Part of World Celebration Gardens in EPCOT is blocked off, which may be for work on the troubled light-up pavement.

EPCOT Light-Up Pavement Work

Rolling planters and stanchions block access to the north half of the center courtyard in the gardens. The pavement lights in this area create the EPCOT logo with the center planter.

There are no further signs of construction yet, but the issues with the lighting are well-known.

World Celebration Gardens opened in December 2023 and problems with the in-ground lighting began immediately. Whole sections went dark or didn’t synchronize properly with the lighting on Spaceship Earth. The plastic light covers warped and cracked, leading to areas being roped-off due to the tripping hazard. Disney tried to hold the covers down with random screws.

Despite multiple attempts to restore the lighting effect, problems have persisted.

Disney may try a new tactic to fix the lights — or give up on them entirely and remove them.

The lights paid homage to the light-up pavement that was removed from Future World for its World Celebration transformation. But the old lights, pictured above, were achieved with different technology and did not have the same issues.
