More construction walls around CommuniCore Hall and Plaza have been added, which will keep guests clear of the still active constriction site. An opening date for CommuniCore Hall, which includes the Mickey & Friends meet and greet, is not yet available.

One thing is for sure, guests will be hot most of the year, and always standing while watching these shows. I'll take an air conditioned space and a place to sit anytime!

Stage lighting is used during the day. The lights imply nothing about showtime plans.

I would assume many shows will be at night, hence the lights.

I I know they tore down the original innoventions buildings by accident, but I wish they simply gutted the buildings and put a stage inside the building so the performances could be enjoyed in an air conditioned space, and maybe even with seating!! I know, I know, I am such a dreamer. This standing in the hot sun to watch stuff is not good. Yes, I remember watching the fountain of nations in the hot sun, but the water spray from fountains was like natural air conditioning and it was bearable to stand there and watch the fountain show.

Besides this lighting, how much construction is actually still going on in terms of the “Transformation”? I was there two weeks ago, and saw some walls by the Moana bathroom/utilidor stairs and the Imagination path flex space along with the CommuniCore area, but I don’t remember any walls other than that. When this opens, is that all the walls left?

Yes. They could have easily done a drop, using the triangle pattern for the grid vs. the standard squares/rectangles. It could be filled with some type of tile - with necessary ones removed based on each show's lighting/sound/rigging requirements. The sleek underside almost looks worse with this approach IMHO.

nope just how it appears from this image maybe only from the side from a box square building. The acne pimples 😐 yeah were a real period.

I think the big problem with this is sleek, shinny surface it is in front of which just makes all wiring stick out like a soar thumb. Compare it to American Gardens theater where it all sort of get swallowed by the dark space over the stage.

Those Diamond triangles work so well on Spaceship Earth but here just from this angle it looks like they are sticking on the building like an abomination of pimples, the diamonds look like mouths like they all would go "my my my" calling out like the seagulls in finding nemo.. scary and itching looking. 😂😬 In the Florida raging heat.

Where, outside Tommorowland, does Disney have mostly white/light colored buildings to avoid seeing bird droppings?

Having dark tiles and birds dropping something on it isn't the best look.

Not a fan of the rigging being out like that. I really wish this were an enclosed theater or even fully indoor. The Encanto show won’t be much fun when the real feel is 100°+…
