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.

Absolutely! I just meant if they were to put just one on each side like the trees! These talls were really representative of Florida's Best!

Barricades are up today preventing guests from tripping over the sections of plastic that are curling up at the corners.

I'm happily surprised, and happy if my comments about them never fixing this remain wrong comments.
