At D23 Expo 2022, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro shared a look into the future for Disney theme parks and beyond. One of those topics was updating fans on the construction and progress of the neighborhood, World Celebration.
The next major milestone in EPCOT’s multi-year transformation will include the completion of the World Celebration neighborhood in late 2023.
As part of the EPCOT transformation happening now at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., the park’s World Celebration neighborhood will offer a beautiful hub divided into several different gardens, with a central planter based on the five-ring EPCOT logo.
World Celebration will also include Communicore Hall and Communicore Plaza, which will be the new home for festivals. It will also be home to Dreamers Point, a new area where you can view the new Walt Disney statue called “Walt the Dreamer.”
The “Walt the Dreamer” statue was revealed at the D23 Expo on Sept. 8, 2022, in Anaheim. This new statue of Walt Disney will debut in a new location called Dreamers Point in the new World Celebration neighborhood at EPCOT at Walt Disney World Resort.
