It looks like the new Walt Disney statue has made its way to Dreamers Point in World Celebration at EPCOT.

A large crate can be seen complete with a "Limited Access" sign and it looks just about the right size to contain the Walt statue, which can be seen in the image below when it was displayed at D23 Expo.

The bronze life-size statue, by Imagineer Scott Goddard, will form a new entry point into the heart of EPCOT when it opens in late 2023.

    The new F&F ride is going in the original park.

    Wow, look at all that unused space! Has Universal considered putting a ride there? Fast and Furious perhaps?

    The views of the busted lights will look great from the new SSE lounge. At least the smart lighting people at EPIC UNIVERSE will be available soon to help poor WDW with fixing their “new” 2010s era lighting woes at EPCOT

    Not the problem.

    I'm sure Disney knows that their fans treat their parks like it's their second home so they should know that these people will monitor every nooks and crannies. They should be proactive in maintenance especially on rather newer stuff. Even a busted light on Spaceship Earth will get noticed and considered a felony to some fans.

    How hard is it to not power wash these things?

    TWDC should be utterly ashamed and embarrassed. This is a company and management that could care less.

    I believe that was sarcasm. They did not indeed put a dance party *in* the building in which the advertising shown it to be in the building (I think, I don't remember seeing such an ad). However, this Summer's dance party will indeed be inside Communicore.
