World Celebration Gardens and ‘Walt the Dreamer’ Statue to Debut December 5th, 2023 at EPCOT
Hi everyone!
World Celebration Gardens and the ‘Walt the Dreamer’ statue at Dreamers Point will debut December 5th, 2023 at EPCOT. There has been no news on CommuniCore Hall and Plaza yet, which wasn’t unexpected.
December 5th is also the day that the new “Luminous” nighttime spectacular debuts – and it’s also Walt Disney’s birthday.
Read below for more information on World Celebration Gardens and ‘Walt the Dreamer’ from the Disney Parks Blog!
In celebration of Walt Disney’s birthday on Dec. 5, guests visiting EPCOT will be able to visit Dreamers Point in the newly-opened World Celebration neighborhood and see our company’s original dreamer in a completely new light. Everyone is invited to imagine alongside Walt himself and look out over World Celebration Gardens together.
This new statue, entitled “Walt the Dreamer,” represents Walt later in his life when he was dreaming up the overall Florida Project and the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. He sits with a sense of fulfillment, enjoying the beauty of his realized dream: a park that represents pure optimism and truly celebrates the magic of possibility.
This new statue of Walt is one of many areas to visit as a part of World Celebration Gardens where guests will be able to relax, unwind, and connect – to EPCOT, to nature and to each other. Each of the gardens found in the center of World Celebration, including Dreamers Point, will connect back to the areas surrounding them, drawing on the architectural legacy of EPCOT, modern lighting elements and a variety of natural textures.
Dreamers Point is named not only for the dreamer that has and continues to inspire us, but also for all of us who visit EPCOT every day to celebrate the endless potential and possibility of our world.
