Walt Disney World Cast Members recently participated in a beam signing event to lend their signature to EPCOT's upcoming World Celebration district.

Among those signing the steel beam were Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle, the 2023 Walt Disney World Ambassadors, and cast from throughout the park.

While we don't know where the beam will be used, it will likely be destined for the Communicore Hall building, the last major piece of construction underway in World Celebration.

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. 🤢

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.

Those have been off for quite a while now.

This is sad, the 4 lights at Walt Disney's statue are off tonight. :( I don't see any water/condensation inside, are they broke too?
