EPCOT World celebration directional signage
Posted: Tuesday November 21, 2023 11:34am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

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.


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.

I liked the canopies there, they actually provided a little shade. The canopies directed upwards like they are currently hung won't do much.

That looks like a very poor design/execution. It doesn't look like it would provide much shade. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now reimagine those to look like the green army men parachutes, and put them up in Toy Story Land…

Any news on the Epcot Dedication Plaque up front? Or is their any word if it will be put inside the plaza rather than outside the entryway??

This is true, admittedly I’m just having a bit of fun.

Bigger fish to fry then complain about a flex space...

Calling it right now, these “neighborhoods” won’t stick around. They’ll probably eventually just call the front half of the park something else and use the colors to symbolize ideas or topics like nature, space etc. Aside from the fact that they aren’t even cohesive, these names tie them up as to what they can do in a future expansion. Plus Figment and the Land being right next to each other but in different “lands” is just hilarious to me. Great job creatives!

Kids activities during festivals, more booths if they wanted.. What happened to the playground that was on the back of the former Mousegears/Connections section. Was that removed??

“Absolutely remarkable”

Truly incredible, this is probably one of the most innovative concepts I’ve ever seen at a theme park. It even has this futuristic game with a rectangle that has a circle cut out of it, that you can throw an object called a “beanbag” at. The future is now people.

i wonder what this space will be used for besides tables and little games. Im not even opposed to little games like connect 4 and cornhole but I imagine they will use this for other things as well
