The sign carries the same EPCOT Bold typeface as Creations Shop and Connections Cafe. It confirms that the entrance will be on the side of the building facing the Imagination pavilion.

CommuniCore Hall and Plaza will open June 10, 2024, and 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.

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.

All of it. Entire dome is mostly empty now.

The festivals were originally to draw - particularly locals - in off peak times But they’ve become wholly dependent on them…as they lament retrofitting the park for what?…going on 30 years now?

I do wonder how much of the center area was removed of the WoL pavilion after they started working on the Play pavilion considering for several years they were used for other festivals.

The Play Pavilion itself is cancelled, which is for the best -- additional capacity is usually a good thing, but not when it's going to be incredibly underutilized capacity in a prime location. Then it just becomes a waste of money and space, and there was very little reason to believe the Play Pavilion would have been helpful at all after a few years of operation. It would have been wildly outdated quickly. There's no indication that they have any plans to do anything else with the former Wonders of Life right now, though, which is bad.

Having a place that sells the best festival food all year round kinda makes having the festivals in the first place redundant. The festivals exist, usually in the slower months, to draw more people in. But if you can now get the exclusive treats all year round then there's no point even having the festival. Also as mentioned already, Odyssey would have been the best place for this. Any news on Play pavilion? Irks me that this huge piece of real estate, a long with Magic Kingdom's Stitch ride building are just sitting abandoned. WDW is the most visited theme park resort in the World, if I was Disney I'd want to use that as the opportunity to showcase the best of everything yet Disney has long since become complacent and letting the place rot and having abandoned buildings that could easily be utilised is inexcusable.
