Origins of Epcot Shine Through at CommuniCore Hall and Plaza Construction. What a dreary day at Epcot this morning, with gray skies overhead. Although, we did see some beautiful colors pop through all the dismal weather. CommuniCore Hall and Plaza construction continues with the addition of colorful Spaceship Earth-like panels.
We checked in to see if the new event space could be open in time for the Festival of the Arts. The answer is Nope, it will not be ready. Undoubtedly, we are excited for when it does open. Furthermore, you can keep up with all the newest information at the new Everything Epcot site from Disney Parks.

You can see in the image above that it is inspired by the original EPCOT aesthetic. This is apparent throughout the park’s transformation, including the timeless triangular geometry most prominently featured in Spaceship Earth. Even the CommuniCore name reaches back to the origins of EPCOT while also emphasizing the park’s central idea of community.
At Walt Disney World Resort, CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza will be completed in 2024 as part of the multiyear transformation of EPCOT.
These new spaces extend the EPCOT festivals beyond World Showcase and provide a new home for additional exhibits and entertainment, offering the perfect space to gather with family and friends.
CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza, a multi-use facility and outdoor event space, respectively, bring the park’s international festivals to the center of EPCOT. Meanwhile, the Plaza will have the flexibility to host intimate musical performances that extend out into the nearby gardens.
CommuniCore Hall will be a flexible exhibition and gallery space, offering a wide variety of experiences that highlight art, live music, food – complete with a demonstration kitchen – and more. In addition, adjacent to CommuniCore Hall will be a new Mickey & Friends location where you can meet some of your favorite Disney pals.
Below is the new entrance for the Mickey and Friends meet and greet location. There is still a bit to go on the outside.
