Fall 2023 will see the completion of the new World Celebration neighborhood. As the hub of the park, it will feature different gardens that change with the seasons. It will also be home to the new Communicore Plaza and the new Communicore Hall, the latter offering a place to meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. World Celebration will also anchor the park’s renowned festivals.

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°+…

If nothing isn’t stalled then they’re not using the stage which means we’re right back to dead space…

It’s designed to be a flexible lighting system to use lighting on a track and to easily add and remove lighting based on the performance. This does not imply that they will all be installed at all times.

Didn’t try, because they don’t care. The only unknown is when fans will realize this simple fact.

It looks terrible. They didn’t try to hide the cords.

While I get the need and the realities of lighting rigging, that really doesn't look very good. While I do like Celebration Gardens generally, Communicore Hall is feeling really budget cut the more I see. I hope there is something better on the interior.

Does that mean no Water filtration plant behind the scenes tour?

Looks like they’re finally adding plantings behind the Journey of Water pump facility to conceal it from the monorail. Hopefully that means they’ll reconfigure the meet and greet queue soon, but we shall see.

I'm just curious. I think it would be nice if there was some separation but I haven't been there since the new hub was opened so I don't have a good sense of where everything is in relation to everything else. It also depends on what the entertainment actually is. The Encanto sing-along they're opening with, e.g., has the potential to be pretty annoying for people elsewhere in the hub if it's really loud (that's the kind of thing that works better in a theater or something similar IMO), but other things might not be.
