“As guests pass Spaceship Earth, in the future they will discover a breathtaking new view of World Showcase from Dreamers Point,” Disney described in a news release earlier this year. “World Celebration will also feature a new statue honoring the legacy of the original dreamer, Walt Disney, plus beautiful natural environments and global design elements filled with Disney magic.”
Disney leaders debuted the new statue Thursday night to members of the media. The statue will be one of several things D23 guests will get to see in the “Disney Parks and Experiences Wonderful World of Dreams” pavilion.
The statue is just a piece of the historic transformation happening now at EPCOT.
