11/12/09 - Disney says it has retired the Lights of Winter display at Epcot, citing obsolete technology to run the lights. (1)

LAKE BUENA VISTA -- A holiday icon at Walt Disney World will not light up the skies at Epcot this year.

Disney announced the illuminated arches of its annual Lights of Winter display has officially been retired.

The gateways that lighted up the entrance to Epcot’s World Showcase area have entertained guests for years, dancing to various Christmas carols, but Disney said the technology needed to operate the lights is obsolete.

The move has left many Disney fans disappointed, but it’s not lights out everywhere in Walt Disney World.

The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights will remain on the Streets of America at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
