Disney announced on Tuesday that the new World Celebration Gardens and Dreamers Point featuring the Walt the Dreamer statue will open at EPCOT on December 5, Walt’s birthday. Disney did not share an opening date for CommuniCore Hall & Plaza, which are also part of the new EPCOT neighborhood.

Disney shared the first photos of the Walt the Dreamer statue in place at Dreamers Point, directly behind Spaceship Earth.

According to Disney Parks Blog, Walt the Dreamer “represents Walt later in his life when he was dreaming up the overall Florida Project and the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. He sits with a sense of fulfillment, enjoying the beauty of his realized dream: a park that represents pure optimism and truly celebrates the magic of possibility.”

Each of the gardens found in the center of World Celebration “will connect back to the areas surrounding them, drawing on the architectural legacy of EPCOT, modern lighting elements and a variety of natural textures.”

Dreamers Point is named not only for Walt, the dreamer that inspired EPCOT, but also for those who are inspired by EPCOT every day.
