With less than a month to go until the June 10 opening of EPCOT's CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, crews are wrapping up the final details.

Although the area is still behind walls, we can get a good look at the area from the monorail beam passing through World Celebration.

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.

I like the daytime Encanto show. It's Disney. And fun. And good music. But, I hereby condemn the Christian rock band that can't hit their notes and the late night Latino Pop DJ who's not even playing Christmas songs and whose music clashes with the SSE 'shows.' But far be it from me to criticize anything modern Disney does.

My parents and I hate this dumb party center thing. It really sinks in at night when you have the Epcot holiday loop playing by the planter but then you got the thump of bass coming from one side of the park. It actually sucks and worsens the area. And seeing CC Hall for the first was hilarious. They really could've refurbed half of the old CC West building and have a more exciting overhaul then this dumb thing there. And no, the egg table building still would've been much worse.

It's even worse in person.

Good god, that is awful. Not to mention, possibly causing epileptic seizures (something I am always aware of, since my sister has epilepsy). Reminds me of that ridiculous DJ they had at the MK. 🤢

Then they should be well-equipped to clean up my vomit.

Epcot is kinda like millennial daycare if you really think about it.

I found a picture from February with them on. Can't post it at the moment though.

Pretty sure these were turned off intentionally within like, two weeks of the plaza opening? A month at most maybe? The lighting made the statue look ominous and I don't think WDI liked that.
