Disney has announced today that Communicore Hall and Plaza will open June 10, 2024 at EPCOT in Walt Disney World.

Opening alongside CommiuniCore Plaza from June 10-Sept. 6 will be a new sing-along featuring the beloved songs and story of "Encanto.". This new limited-time show, "¡Celebración Encanto!" runs several times throughout the day and will not only invite you and your family to sing along with some of your favorite songs, but you'll also spot Mirabel and Bruno on the newly opened CommuniCore Plaza stage.

CommuniCore Hall will be home to the iconic EPCOT festivals and other celebrations Disney says it will also be a perfect cool indoor space year-round for you and your family to recharge.

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.

Good grief! Even the simplest attempts at theme can’t be maintained!

It appeared to be working ina ResortTV stream last week, actually, it may have been reflections from the light pillars.

They could have waited until June 9th for her Epcot M&G to end and then one day later she's now at DHS, lol

Ground lighting in the central planter area is still completely shut off, with no signs of returning any time soon…

Lights are used in the day, yes - but provide a much better show at night. Much like America Gardens Theater, this spot will really be utilized as the sun lowers in the sky and the rest of the Epcot lighting (however much of that lighting is still functional) comes on.
