World Celebration Gardens - December 5 2023
Posted: Tuesday December 5, 2023 9:00am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Guests can once again walk through the center of EPCOT for the first time since late 2019 as the walls come down around the new World Celebration Gardens.



While EPCOT is not yet wall-free, with walls remaining around Communicore Hall and Plaza, guests are now able to enjoy the gardens, see the new Walt the Dreamer statue at Dreamers Point, and walk directly between World Nature and World Discovery.



The new EPCOT World Celebration Gardens include seating areas close to Connections Cafe, and Communicore Hall, and are equipped with 110v and USB charging points.



Guests can also meet Pluto and Daisy.



Alongside the opening of EPCOT's World Celebration Gardens, Disney has also unveiled the original score composed by Pinar Toprak.

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...

I dunno, seemed to work well for the Disneyland Haunted Mansion gift shop, lol. (no retort needed as this comment is in jest)
