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.

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 Encanto/Indiana Jones area has a chance to be something special...Hopefully this is not the same show writing team that brought us the new Zootopia show.....

Whether they are quality attractions is up in the air. Will they fit where they are being placed or better than what they are replacing? In my book, absolutely not.

This is today’s Disney. This is why I am worried about the stuff being built in MK, DHS and AK. I hope I am worried for nothing and it all comes out ok.

It's a shame our hopes have gotten small.

if it were up to me id tear down the middle planter and all of comnicore hall and put a EpicUni style of fountain replacing that whole area with clear views of figment and pretty pathway have these things called LEDS that work. However at this rate I'll take what I can get. Ie I hope for a small fountain so I don't get to disappointed

Their "Admission" of said mistake was literally thrown together as quickly and half assedly as possible and it has now lasted longer than the original beloved attraction.

they did admit that Journey Into YOUR Imagination was a mistake eventually..... I am sure they are very aware of the overall lack of excitement about what they did to the central core.... but now it is "hey look over here! we are building something new!" instead of fixing a botched project....kind of like our current day politics....

We are never getting a fountain back. That would be Disney admitting their mistake, that's never gonna happen.

Small fountain??

Nickm20228 days ago

my want for them to just rip out the lights make it a plain walk way, and put a small fountain in the middle is extreme

Was there last week. All the strips were even with the walkway; nothing sticking up; nothing roped off. Still not working.

Guests are being told to just walk around it.

The new covers were materially different from the original installation. It obviously didn't help in any meaningful way, but it wasn't the exact same thing.
