As we previously reported, a multi-year transformation of EPCOT is underway that will reimagine the park while keeping true to the original vision and Disney has confirmed that the park is getting it’s own Walt Disney statue.
The new Walt statue will be part of the new World Celebration neighborhood at EPCOT called Dreamer’s Point.
Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley shared this update about EPCOT on his Instagram as you can see below:
“Walt said, ‘EPCOT will always be in a state of becoming…’ and it’s that spirit of potential and possibility that inspires all we are bringing to life in the transformation of EPCOT, said Riddley.
There is indeed a massive transformation taking place at Epcot for the park’s 50th anniversary however, which includes a newly redesigned park entrance, a new Guardians of the Galaxy Roller Coaster, a Space-Themed Restaurant, the new Play Pavilion and much more.
