A new directional sign has popped up recently in EPCOT's World Celebration, which includes two soon-to-open new venues.

The new sign follows the updated EPCOT style, colored light blue, and can be found on the main walkway between Guest Relations and Connections Cafe.

In addition to directing guests to Connections Cafe, Creations Shop, World Nature, World Discovery, and World Showcase, the signage includes blacked-out entries for CommuniCore Hall and Mickey & Friends meet-and-greet.

Blacked-out entries for CommuniCore Hall, Journey of Water and Mickey and Friends

Journey of Water- Inspired by Moana, is also included on the sign and blacked out. Although the attraction is open, there is no direct route from the signage to Journey of Water; this will change when World Celebration is fully available to guests later this year.

CommuniCore Hall will provide space for additional festival offerings that won't depend on Florida weather, which is also subdividable into two distinct sections.

CommuniCore Hall will also be home to an indoor Mickey and Friends character meet and greet.

The surrounding CommuniCore Plaza will feature a garden with space to view entertainment from a covered performance stage and seating for nearby festival food and drink kiosks.

World Celebration will open to guests in late 2023, but it remains unclear if CommuniCore Hall will be ready at the same time.

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.
