Disney has released new concept art for the ongoing work at EPCOT. There's been some changes made to the original concept art that was released in 2019 (pre-COVID). The most notable change is the building on the right side of the first two images below. The original concept art showed a large unique multi-storey building, now replaced with a more squared off building with an outdoor area called "CommuniCore Plaza". This will also be the character meet and greet location in the park. The new concept art also gives us a better idea on how the Moana inspired Journey of Water will look and connect to the rest of the park.
World Celebration will offer a beautiful hub divided into several different gardens, with a central planter based on the five-ring EPCOT logo. Filled with ample seating and shade, you'll be invited to connect with one another and the nature around you in this lush new area. Each of these gardens will have their own identities, and they'll change along with the festivals throughout the year. At night, the gardens will take on a whole new life. They're designed to be enjoyed in the round, where lighting immerses you in the nighttime experience that will evolve through the seasons.
