Crews are testing lights on the awning around CommuniCore Plaza in EPCOT. We saw the new lights illuminated on both Thursday and Friday.

CommuniCore Plaza Lights

The long awning juts out from CommuniCore Hall in an L shape around the Plaza. The new lights are long thin strips. There are several them placed periodically on the underside of the awning.

They were all illuminated in a light purple color on both days. But, like other lighting in World Celebration, they may ultimately change color to sync with Spaceship Earth light shows.

The metal ceiling of the awning was installed earlier this month, as were other lights. There is still hardware on the awning that may be for more lighting.

On Thursday, a Mickey & Friends mural appeared on CommuniCore Hall for the new permanent meet and greet space. An opening date for CommuniCore Hall and Plaza has not been announced.
