Disney has announced that in celebration of Walt Disney’s birthday on December 5, guests visiting EPCOT will be able to visit Dreamers Point in the World Celebration neighborhood.
The "Walt the Dreamer" statue represents Walt later in his life when he was dreaming up the overall Florida Project and the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. He sits with a sense of fulfillment, enjoying the beauty of his realized dream: a park that represents pure optimism and truly celebrates the magic of possibility.
This new statue of Walt is part of World Celebration Gardens where Disney says "guests will be able to relax, unwind, and connect – to EPCOT, to nature and to each other." Each of the gardens found in the center of World Celebration, including Dreamers Point, will connect back to the areas surrounding them, drawing on the architectural legacy of EPCOT, modern lighting elements and a variety of natural textures.
December 5 will also see the debut of the new EPCOT nighttime spectacular 'Luminous.'
