Epcot - Tree Lighting Ceremony?

[DestinationDisney]

I read that there is a Tree Lighting Ceremony daily (during the holidays) at 6pm. Does anyone know where this takes place? How long should I get there before? Exactly what do they do, besides light the tree? How long does the ceremony last?

Thank you!!

Just before you enter the Showcase from Future world walking thru the Arch that will light up also. The show last about 15-20 Min. It is worth the time to see. It can get crowed very much so. I would say get there about 15 min before.

This is a stupid question , especially being that I've been to WDW quite a few times....but where is future world?

I'm looking at this map and I can't seem to locate where you are talking about.

Thanks for the help!!

When you open the map you see the countries in World Showcase as you scroll down you see where Test Track and Spaceship Earth are, that is Future World.
If you come to Epcot by bus or monorail you enter through future world, in order to see the tree lighting you would need to walk towards the World Showcase.
If you enter from the International Walkway, which you would use if you were coming from Beach Club Boardwalk etc, you enter in the World Show case, so you would then walk towards Future world to see the tree lighting.
