Sculpting the Walt Disney statue for Dreamers Point coming soon to EPCOT

Nov 23, 2021 in "EPCOT"

Posted: Tuesday November 23, 2021 10:38am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney shared some new pictures of EPCOT's Dreamers Point at this past weekend's Destination D23 event at Walt Disney World.

The Walt Disney statue is being hand-sculpted by Imagineer Scott Goddard in a miniature form.


The model will ultimately be scanned and cast into a bronze life-size statue that will form a new entry point into the heart of EPCOT in a place called Dreamers Point.

No word yet on when Dreamers Point will be built, but Disney has said that the EPCOT redevelopment is planned to be completed during 2023.

Remember, folks… The magic of possibility is it’s cheap!

The standards just keep getting lower and the sheep keep paying more - it’s sad to witness.

Now that is "Future of Possibilities!"

You would think going from future world to just world this world would help a ton, actually no.!

Nah that's not what's happening at all. These fixes are being done just by regular maintenance people.

Maybe. Part of me wonders if "lighting fixes" == "turning the damn things on."

What if they hired some new lighting experts and wanted them to fix the new hub lighting BUT they're still in the process of figuring it out (or waiting for parts, etc.), so while they can't yet do that, they're updating all of these old effects in the other attractions? SSE and LWTL are getting lighting fixes right now.

The “countries” and “the front half”. It’s worked for our family for 40 years.

I would take out that Discovery and put Future in front of it...😉

That and there is no obvious distinction between the lands. It's just a hot mess. Go back to one name for the front half and one name for World Showcase.

It would meant if this was the caption for the entire park as a whole. Or when I see it I see World Showcase. But we all love that name.

World Discovery and World Showcase Done!
