Disney also shared the following about the area around this new Walt Disney statue:
This new statue of Walt is one of many areas to visit as a part of World Celebration Gardens where guests will be able to relax, unwind, and connect – to EPCOT, to nature and to each other. Each of the gardens found in the center of World Celebration, including Dreamers Point, will connect back to the areas surrounding them, drawing on the architectural legacy of EPCOT, modern lighting elements and a variety of natural textures.
This area known as Dreams Point is not just about Walt Disney, the dreamer who continues to inspire millions today, but also about those who visit EPCOT and celebrate the endless possibility and potential in the world.
