EPCOT's CommuniCore Hall and Plaza is just days away from its June 10 opening. As the construction walls come down, guests are getting their first glimpse of the new area.



The plaza features lush landscaping and expansive walkways. It includes a stage for live performances, restrooms, a quick service eatery, the indoor CommuniCore Hall flex space, and the Mickey & Friends meet and greet.



A temporary wall of rolling planters blocks access to the CommuniCore Plaza.


Opening alongside CommiuniCore Plaza from June 10 to September 6 will be a new sing-along featuring the beloved songs and story of "Encanto." This new limited-time show, "¡Celebración Encanto!" runs several times throughout the day and will not only invite you and your family to sing along with some of your favorite songs, but you'll also spot Mirabel and Bruno on the newly opened CommuniCore Plaza stage.

The Magic of Possibilities...Meaning it's possible it will work or not....

Unfortunately it seems this is the new normal. Bare bones design with no effort or magic. The powers that be seem to have zero clue why people fell in love with the parks to begin with, and are slowly destroying all of the little things that make them magical. I hope it reverses before it's too late.

That's still not a reason to celebrate them half baking the fix. It's a million (billion?) dollar park people are paying over a hundred bucks to get into. They should have all their lights working. I could understand a comment that it's a nice start and good to know they're working on it but "Christmas miracle" and clapping emojis? Come on. They're professionals, not a band of kids in elementary school.

We just had a Thanksgiving weekend. I wouldn't have expected any work on fixing the lights to happen until tomorrow night.

Because for almost a year 0% of them were working. 🥴 We're already back to that away. 😒

All lights DOWN this evening.

I imagine that they require complete replacement. If that even ever gets done. I can easily imagine them getting permanently covered in opaque plastic, and that'll be the end of that.

Based on footage from last night and me being there tonight, the ground lights have been completely shut off again. I’m so tired of this.

Grade inflation. Yesterday's B-mode is today's A+-mode. It's the one thing Iger likes about Expedition Everest.

Why are they still in the awful B-mode?

90%?! They're getting praised for fixing MOST of them?! Why!?
