The "Walt the Dreamer" statue has been installed at EPCOT. Disney Parks shared a video showcasing the installation, however it does appear to have been altered from the original concept art. While plans can (and do) change, it appears Disney has changed their decision on the backdrop of Walt's statue. In the concept art he appeared to be sat on steps with greenery and Spaceship Earth behind him, but now it appears he's sat on a bench in front of a concrete backdrop. Walt's statue will open to guests December 5th, 2023.
