Disney World Making Lighting Change

 

Disney recently filed a permit to replace existing light fixtures with LED upgrades at Magic Kingdom.

Walt Disney World Resort is home to many iconic attractions like Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom; Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Toy Story Mania, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios; Kilimanjaro Safaris, Kali River Rapids, Expedition Everest (when it’s open), and Avatar Flight of Passage in Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom; and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After, Soarin’ Around The World, Test Track, and Spaceship Earth in EPCOT.

The contractor for the project is Carter Electric. This means if you head to the Haunted Mansion in the future, you’ll likely notice the attraction is lighter than normal.

While some may argue that adding LED lights to fixtures may change the ambiance of the ride, Disney has done an excellent job in the past about maintaining theming and making changes subtle.
