Why You Should Stay in EPCOT After Dark Right Now

Spaceship Earth is iconic and has become the symbol of EPCOT.

Spaceship Earth

No, Spaceship Earth is not a giant golf ball. It is, in fact, a ride, but it also becomes a beacon and beautiful light show at night. Each night, you’ll see the giant sphere light up with beautiful colors that mimic the colors around World Celebration Gardens. But during the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, Spaceship Earth gets even more special at night!

Each year, for the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, a special show is put on at Spaceship Earth. The show is set to the song “When We’re Together” from Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, which we always get emotional about during the holidays. It’s a beautiful holiday tradition for EPCOT.

It’s so stunning! You can see the lights create images such as snowflakes as they light up to music.

You can catch the show several times during the night during the Festival of the Holidays.

This adorable show is just one of the many entertainment options you can enjoy at the Festival of the Holidays — there are storytellers at the World Showcase pavilions, you can enjoy a re-telling of the Christmas story at the Candlelight Processional, and more.

It’s basically a grand version of the show you can catch over on the Gingerbread Spaceship Earth in CommuniCore Hall!
