Last year, we reported on a new Beacons of Light show inspired by The Muppets. Earlier this month, we reported on this year’s International Festival of the Arts Beacons of Light, which is inspired by Figment. However, this year’s light show includes the most heartwarming reference to The Muppets of all: Rainbow Connection.
Rainbow Connection was such a hit, it has returned this year and can be seen during Figment’s Beacons of Light show.

However, during the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, Spaceship Earth lights up with an entirely different Beacon of Magic. This light show is dazzling and is meant to spark creativity and imagination. But if it makes you tear up, you’re not alone because this Beacon of Magic is incredibly moving and inspiring.

No wonder so many people are moved to tears by this Beacon of Magic!
