Disney has shared new details on the latest additions to EPCOT's World Celebration - CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza - set to open to guests on June 10, 2024.

Entertainment Acts at CommuniCore Plaza

CommuniCore Plaza introduces two new performance venues. The Plaza Stage will debut with "¡Celebración Encanto!" a limited-time show starting June 10. This family-friendly sing-along features favorite songs from Walt Disney Animation Studios' "Encanto," bringing the story of the Family Madrigal to life during the day. A Latin groove band will take over in the evening, filling World Celebration with live music.
On the other end of the Plaza, another performance space is ready for open-air entertainment, with more details to be announced soon.



Festival Favorites Kiosk

Located next to the CommuniCore Plaza Stage, the Festival Favorites kiosk offers an ever-changing assortment of popular items from EPCOT's four annual festivals. This summer, the kiosk will feature treats inspired by the Disney Animation Studios film "Encanto." Guests can enjoy a Cheese-stuffed Arepa with cilantro-lime crema and cotija cheese, and the Coconut Tres Leches, a vanilla cake soaked with oat, almond, and coconut milk, topped with toasted coconut.



Mickey & Friends Character Greeting Location

This new space is perfect for capturing memorable moments with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy. The exterior features a geometric design reminiscent of Spaceship Earth and murals celebrating the past and present of the park.


CommuniCore Hall

CommuniCore Hall, designed as a versatile event space, will host a variety of seasonal activities, including art displays, live music, and culinary events. The hall features a state-of-the-art show kitchen where guests can watch EPCOT's culinary team prepare dishes for special occasions.

It was always showcased in the concept art as for Festival of The Arts...

It’s temporary but it looks well-done. What comes next is the bigger question.

Finally, this space has something worthwhile to see! Up to this point, this inside space has been an embarrassment of sorts.

Isn't it ironic that now "We've Just Begun to Dream" 🎶 not about the future of possibilities in 1982 but instead to Dream about how Epcot once was!

A beautiful tribute. RIP the “real” EPCOT.

An Arts festival would have been an ideal time to cover the walls in tapestries...
