EPCOT has had a BIG week!

On December 5th, an all-new land opened in EPCOT, allowing visitors access to the World Celebration Gardens. Not only that, but a new Walt Disney statue debuted, Luminous: Symphony of Us lit up the skies for the first time, AND we got to check out the return of the glowing sidewalks! Only one thing was missing… the new festival area! CommuniCore Hall and Plaza were meant to debut in late 2023, but we found out in early December that the new festival areas would not be available until 2024. While we were disappointed, we were holding on to hope that it would be complete in EARLY 2024 — based on the visual state of the construction. Let’s check it out!

CommuniCore Hall is visible over the walls that line the World Celebration Garden area. Finally, the building is starting to look like the concept art! 

Previously, we were only able to see the building’s frame, which, of course, was a bit distracting from the beautiful area that is the new gardens. There was some of the white paneling, but it was very sporadic. Now, though, the building is almost completely covered with siding that resembles the design of Spaceship Earth! 

While it isn’t yet finished, we think it already looks so much better with what literal siding has been put on the building. We can also already tell how much better it will “flow” with the area and EPCOT’s theming as a whole.

While we still don’t know an exact date regarding the area’s opening, we’ll let you know as soon as we do. In the meantime, make sure to follow along so that you’re always in the loop with other Disney news and updates.
