CommuniCore Hall construction - February 21 2023

In this latest look at the construction site in the center of EPCOT, we can see new vertical structures expanding beyond the Communicore Hall building.


There are several white steel poles with horizontal beams at the top. Beneath, there are numerous concrete forms, including a completed circular structure.

At Communicore Hall, the exterior walls are being framed in, with work continuing throughout the area.



This building will eventually be home to elements of EPCOT's festivals, including performance areas, opening late 2023.

They didn't learn from their mistake by adding a dj at the end of the night by the MK train station in 2021..

The DJ music badly clashes with the generally-sophisticated holiday atmosphere everywhere else in the park. Save it for NYE.

Yeah Encanto show is fine, but the DJ thing gotta go. It just pollutes the atmosphere vibe of Epcot. Calling it World Celebration isn’t an excuse. Just doesn’t belong.

We've been by it too in the past two weeks and if nothing else, it shows how management and WDI have no clue as to what the EPCOT is. They keep throwing darts at the board looking for something to land, but my goodness, the place is so disjointed. Rave Mickey is something to behold outside Communicore Hall. Or as my mom said (about Communicore) after she first went in, "This garbage isn't worthy of being in SeaWorld, let alone Disney." Yup. Rave+Lame=MKCOT. Great job, Bob!

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.
