EPCOT's CommuniCore Hall and Plaza is just days away from its June 10 opening. As the construction walls come down, guests are getting their first glimpse of the new area.

The plaza features lush landscaping and expansive walkways. It includes a stage for live performances, restrooms, a quick service eatery, the indoor CommuniCore Hall flex space, and the Mickey & Friends meet and greet.

Opening alongside CommiuniCore Plaza from June 10 to September 6 will be a new sing-along featuring the beloved songs and story of "Encanto." This new limited-time show, "¡Celebración Encanto!" runs several times throughout the day and will not only invite you and your family to sing along with some of your favorite songs, but you'll also spot Mirabel and Bruno on the newly opened CommuniCore Plaza stage.

Im happy to hear they are actually fixing the current center lights. Knowing modern Disney they could've easily let the lighting rot away.

Yes, they are also hard and sturdy, as opposed to floppy like the old ones. They’re also very reflective.

Do they look any higher quality than the old ones? I’m curious if they will be testing it tonight.

Here’s some photos I got a few days ago. These were taken the first day they were being installed, so there are much more installed now.

New Translucent LED diffusers seem be replacing the newly installed white covers in the broken ground lighting, maybe they are fixing it after all.

If only they had a master of flooring working on this project…

In better news, the perimeter fountain lights were recently repaired. The big beam into the sky should be working again soon as well

I am generally understanding, but this can't be that hard.

Half of the central light pillars are still stuck on a bright white on the sides, and one of them is still completely off on the sides…

None of the ribbon lighting around the entrance plaza is working correctly at this point, it’s not animating and several sections are completely broken/ incorrect colors/ delayed. Literally dozens of the points of light on SSE are constantly on when they shouldn’t be, and are blinking and flashing different colors like plane beacons. I will say that they finally fixed the fountain lights, (although the spotlight in the middle hasn’t turned on in over two years) but everything else is an utter disaster maintenance-wise at the moment. So many lighting effects broken in the main gardens too…
