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.

You must be new here… If they aren’t complaining, its a rarity.

Two new rides and a cessation of a Food Festival during the Summer. If that's evolution, they're doing it wrong.

It’s less of a complete park today than it was in 1998… Our standards need re-evaluated.

nah its still a great theme park, but with more food options...thats not a bad thing imo. Epcot always felt like the adult park where they focused on eating drinking and ambience more than rides and thrills. But they added a few great rides over the last years so its gotten a bit better in that regard as well

The continuing evolution of Epcot from a theme park to the world’s largest food court.

One would assume it’s a mishmash of things that sell really well (ie highest prices/margins) from the 345 days a year of festivals I’m not in love with it…but it’s also not the worst idea ever If they’re smart…big If…they rotate it seasonally to not cross with the festival booths…it’s a good idea. If it’s set stuff and they just push volume…not so much.

I’m hoping that they have the empanada that the Encanto booth has during Festival of the Arts. That is one of my favorite festival foods!
