'Encanto' is coming to Walt Disney World this summer

March 21, 2024, 2:06 PM · Walt Disney World is preparing the finishing touches on EPCOT's multi-year transformation.

Disney announced today that the final pieces of the theme park's transformation - CommuniCore Hall and the CommuniCore Plaza stage - will open June 10. The new CommuniCore Hall will house the Mickey & Friends character greeting as well as provide a focal point for EPCOT festivals and other celebrations.

Over on the CommuniCore Plaza stage, EPCOT will debut ¡Celebración Encanto!, a new sing-along stage show featuring the characters from Disney Animation's "Encanto," including Mirabel and, yes, Bruno. The show will run multiple times daily through September 6.

Drone show is brilliant! Visiting DSTP (no cost to park, plenty of elbow room, etc.) will cause people to stay late.
