Among those signing the steel beam were Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle, the 2023 Walt Disney World Ambassadors, and cast from throughout the park.

While we don't know where the beam will be used, it will likely be destined for the Communicore Hall building, the last major piece of construction underway in World Celebration.

We were chasing this toon. He had just robbed a bank. We followed him all the way to Epcot And he pushed the wall on my brother! I couldn’t go to Epcot after that until the walls were completely down. It was simply too painful.

What's up with him? A wall killed his brother. .

Please no. I hated the walls.

They've started putting the dance parties at CommuniCore Hall in ads like it's a draw. You know what? I think I preferred the walls. Can we go back to them?

FWIW, the temporary F&G additions to LwtL are atrocious. 👎

On the bright side, the fountain lights that go straight into the air are working again

A bunch of the fountain base lights are completely broken once again, some are just off and others are flickering. Also, did they just give up on fixing these two dead sections of the entrance plaza perimeter ribbon lighting? Also, the spotlights in the west legs of SSE have not turned on in over 6 months, the east restroom ribbon lights have been completely off and the west restroom ribbon lights have been a colorful mess for a few weeks now. Not to mention the incorrect colors on the tall pathway lights on the west side. All of these issues and I haven’t even passed fully under SSE yet (which is itself in awful shape lighting wise too). I don’t even have words at this point. I’ve been documenting this stuff for months for what it’s worth, and pretty much none of it has been fixed. The stuff that was fixed lasted at most 2 months before breaking again. 847715847716847717847719847718

I don’t know about some “raspy girl” but if they make a custom background track then it will 100 percent be its fun to be free.

When I was there a few weeks ago, it seemed to me the channels that were popped up were because they weren't glued/mortared in. And I'm guessing the reason they weren't sealed in was for continuing toubleshooting.
