EPCOT, the iconic Disney World theme park, has been undergoing a massive transformation, and the final piece of the puzzle is set to fall into place on June 10 with the grand opening of CommuniCore Plaza. This newly designed space will serve as the heart of the park, connecting guests to a variety of exciting experiences and attractions.
CommuniCore Plaza will be home to CommuniCore Hall, a perfect indoor space for guests to recharge and enjoy iconic EPCOT festivals and celebrations year-round. The hall will be surrounded by serene views and exciting new experiences, making it a must-visit destination for all park-goers.
One of the most anticipated additions to CommuniCore Plaza is the new character greeting location, Mickey & Friends. This beautifully designed space features a mural showcasing EPCOT’s past and present, with a geometric exterior inspired by Spaceship Earth. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the coolest mouse around, Mickey Mouse, and his pals in this charming new setting.
To celebrate the grand opening of CommuniCore Plaza, EPCOT will also debut a limited-time summer sing-along, “¡Celebración Encanto!”, featuring the beloved songs and story of Disney’s hit film “Encanto.” Running from June 10 to September 6, this show will take place on the CommuniCore Plaza stage, inviting guests to sing along with their favorite tunes and spot Mirabel and Bruno.
The completion of CommuniCore Plaza marks the culmination of EPCOT’s extensive transformation, which has brought forth a series of exciting changes and additions to the park. With the plaza’s grand opening, guests will be able to fully immerse themselves in the reimagined EPCOT experience, making summer 2023 the perfect time to visit and explore all that the park has to offer.
