Exciting NYE Preparations Sweep World Showcase at EPCOT
We’re just days away from New Year’s Eve 2023, and you’ll struggle to find anywhere more prepared for the “big night” than right here at Walt Disney World!
On today’s trip to EPCOT, our MickeyBlog reporters noticed that further preparations have been made in anticipation for the celebration, so we thought we’d bring you along for a look. Let’s check them out…
Lights, Camera, Fireworks!
Earlier this week, MickeyBlog reported that the first signs of preparations had started to arrive at the park, in readiness for the infamous annual festivities EPCOT holds to mark each new year.
On today’s visit, we found that even more signs had cropped up around the World Showcase, as if to re-confirm that the exciting day sure is drawing nearer!
As you can see from the photos shared by our reporters, we’re looking at new lighting structures that have been installed, visible primarily in the Italy pavilion.
This particularly large feature covers a stage, which has been temporarily greenified by a series of planters. Full of florals and topiaries, these have presumably been strategically placed to mask the eyesore that the rigs bring.
We see planters such as these a lot around the parks during construction, but we aren’t complaining!
Alongside this structure in the Italy pavilion, we also spotted features such as speakers, sound equipment, and more lighting on different rigs appear across the UK and China pavilions too.
No matter where you go in EPCOT on New Year’s Eve, we’re sure it’ll be a lively party with all this high-level equipment!
New Year at EPCOT
Each December, EPCOT remains a firm favorite among guests looking to see in the new year in style. Not only does the park host spectacular firework displays, but guests can also enjoy celebrating the arrival of the new year all across the world in each individual World Showcase pavilion.
It’s always a crowd-filled, high-energy, and lively night, so it’s no wonder they’re starting installation preparations early!
As December 31st draws ever nearer, your MickeyBloggers will be keeping a close eye on the preparations around each park. We’ll be sure to give you all the updates we come across, as well as share lots of other fun tips, tricks, and insights right here on the blog.
Be sure to stay tuned, as 2024 will be here before you know it!
