EPCOT's The Seas with Nemo and Friends pavilion has new signage at the exit directing guests out into World Nature.

EPCOT introduced the three new neighborhoods in 2019 as part of the redevelopment of EPCOT. Disney said that, "Epcot will be unified with four neighborhoods that each speak to important aspects of the world and its people: World Showcase, World Celebration, World Nature and World Discovery."

The new neighborhood names have been slowly introduced on signs around the park as the redevelopment progresses.

The new sign can be seen just before the gift shop at the exit from the pavilion.


Journey of Water Inspired by Moana will be the new addition to World Nature opening in 2022, joining The Land pavilion and the Seas with Nemo and Friends.

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.

New lighting has been added to CommuniCore Plaza - photos from today. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53713901969_5de9978e09_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53712660877_3d83c19071_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53713901959_ee820b7572_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53712652902_1ccdf48d6e_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53713570751_fb127e2025_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53713997240_29d45cd79e_o.jpg

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.

Well, that definitely looks like local city park quality level work . . .

I thought we were criticizing Disney for the lack of live entertainment...

I wonder how loud it will be. I think they could potentially overdo it and kind of ruin the whole area with noise pollution; I'm sure not everyone in the garden area is going to want to have to listen to whatever is happening on the stage.

Large speakers/sound system being installed on the ceiling above the stage in CommuniCore Plaza.

Gotcha. I’m no expert in that field, so that’s good to know.

Pretty sure they can at least stain and treat it the same way the surrounding concrete is treated in order to better conceal it.
