the side facing world showcase shuts off for illuminations. Alone with the rest of the major lighting around the lagon

It is also storming right now, so visibility might not be great.

but if you want to know there have been times when the power goes out at the parks. Its really rare but does happen.

I was told an interesting story from an ex CM at EPCOT Center about two times when the whole DACS system crashed (so much for the multiple backups!). He said it was very amusing watching an entire park based on technology grind to a halt.

If I'm not mistaken, in summer of 2002, there was an electrical fire at Epcot. There was no electricity at Epcot all day. They brought one of the strolling musicians from Epcot over to MK and they played outside of across from Dumbo! It was an interesting day for sure!

Does anybody else remember that?
