Dreamers Point and World celebration construction - October 16 2023

It looks like the new Walt Disney statue has made its way to Dreamers Point in World Celebration at EPCOT.


A large crate can be seen complete with a "Limited Access" sign and it looks just about the right size to contain the Walt statue, which can be seen in the image below when it was displayed at D23 Expo.


The bronze life-size statue, by Imagineer Scott Goddard, will form a new entry point into the heart of EPCOT when it opens in late 2023.

Here are some other of construction progress as World Celebration today.

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...
