Encanto Sing-Along, CommuniCore Hall, returning characters, and more coming to Disney World this summer
Walt Disney World Resort guests can celebrate summer with favorite characters and the final piece of Epcot’s expansive multi-year reimagination project.
Beginning June 10, 2024, guests will finally experience an unobstructed-by-construction-walls Epcot when CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza officially open on June 10, 2024.
While CommuniCore Hall will provide an indoor (and air-conditioned) location for select experiences during Epcot festivals and celebrations and a new Mickey Mouse character greeting location, CommuniCore Plaza and Inspiration Gardens will add even more beautifully landscaped outdoor green spaces to the park.
Last December, World Celebration Gardens in Epcot debuted with the Walt the Dreamer statue.
Let’s Talk About Bruno
From June 10 through Sept. 6, 2024, “¡Celebración Encanto!” – a new sing-along featuring the songs and story of “Encanto” – will be performed several times daily on the CommuniCore Plaza stage.
Mirabel and Bruno will also appear on the newly opened CommuniCore Plaza stage.
“Inside Out 2” Sneak Peek
Also starting on June 10, 2024, Joy is headed to Pixar Plaza, where she’ll join other Pixar pals just in time for the June 14, 2024, premiere of Disney Pixar’s Inside Out 2.
Guests visiting Joy in Pixar Plaza can also make core memories in a new photo spot.
Animal Kingdom Celebrates 30 Years of “The Lion King”
Walt Disney World will celebrate the 30th anniversary of “The Lion King” from June 10 through Sept. 6, 2024, with a new merchandise collection, special menu items, and a Pumbaa popcorn bucket.
In addition, Timon and Rafiki will meet Lion King fans at Rafiki’s Planet Watch – and of course, it ‘s the perfect time to catch a performance of Festival of the Lion King.
Watch for more updates about all the summer fun coming to Walt Disney World.
