    Just a guess...

    I could not understand seeing this DJ last week. It destroys the ambiance of Epcot and drowns out the background music in nearby areas. Who thought this was a good idea? If you want to have it, put it inside the unused Communicore building - it's certainly busy enough to hold the handful of people watching (during the most crowded week of the year, at that).

    Not into the Country pavilion DJ's. If the DJ in Italy was Featuring European or Italian dance party hits I'd then be okay with that. However I agree Epcot having DJ's in general is lazy.

    They're waiting for a live action Princess and the Frog to come out and then they'll do 'Tiana's EPCOT Jubilee: A Celebration in the Plaza'

    I figured it out; World Celebration is named after what you do when this show finally leaves! (And don't do when they inevitably replace it with something just as obnoxious and lame.)

    Could not agree more. This is park management being completely clueless. They have this nice, chill area now for people to relax…and they have a disco party at the silly Communicore Hall. Ridiculous. For me, the disco party is lazy, cheap “entertainment”. And if you have to do it, at least do it like they are handling the Incredibles party at Jollywood Nights. It’s tucked back out of the way. Also, were I to walk by one of these dance “parties” and there were tons of people there, I would (begrudgingly) understand why they did them. I just walked by the one in Epcot this past Monday and there was one little girl dancing with a few adults standing around. Pointless. Also, unless it’s New Year’s Eve and I’m standing in the Italy pavilion, there shouldn’t be a DJ dance party in Epcot. Period.

    I think this is fine. I always see people enjoying the show and dancing and smiling... This little show brings more smiles to the park than most other things that require long waits. My only request is can we retire the Frozen Singalong show at HS now? It's the same thing. Something new.

    It's better than the DJ there late at night, hearing #HOTTOGO in Epcot was a little jarring.

    The saving grace of the Encanto show for those not caring for it is that it is time-limited. It's not never-ending. And there are breaks between sets. And it's not at night. And now, here's where I again spew hatred for the pop music dance party DJ. That must go. It's never-ending and loud. There's no respite from it if you want to hang in the hub, which, BTW, is very nice now.

    Good to see that the new CommicorePlaza will continue to have a wide variety of entertainment options available to keep it fresh

    Multiple times a day. You can hear it from the parking lot if you don't want to pay for admission.

    Dozens of tens?
