Overview
- Observers reported Tuesday that wheeled rolling planters and hedge barriers now cut off roughly half of the World Celebration central planter and close several walkways near Spaceship Earth.
- There is no visible construction or equipment on site, but the movable barriers match Disney’s usual pre-construction staging and indicate preparation for substantive work.
- The in-ground system has shown persistent faults since the area opened, including dark sections, wrong colors, cracked or warped plastic covers, and mortar deterioration that produced trip hazards.
- Disney has used temporary fixes before, such as replacing clear covers with opaque panels in late 2024 and screwing loose strips back into place in 2025, without explaining whether those measures were permanent.
- The lights were designed by Imagineers to sync thousands of LEDs with the Points of Light show and nearby building lighting, which makes any repair or removal technically complex and could affect guest access and show timing; watchers should look for an official Disney notice or signs of active construction next.
