He wrote: “The D23 Expo starts tomorrow, with lots of things to check out at the Disney Parks and Experiences pavilion. Here’s a sneak peek of “Walt the Dreamer,” going into a new area of EPCOT called Dreamers Point and inspiring the dreamer in all of us”.
This special statue will be located just behind Spaceship Earth’s upcoming Dreamers Point location. Walt Disney will be seated on a step, just outside the upcoming Connections Café and Eatery and Creations Shop, essentially looking over the park.
This statue is going to be an amazing addition to EPCOT. One of Walt Disney’s last plans had been for the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, or EPCOT, as he called it. Walt died before the plans could be set in stone, but they were brought out again and in 1979 and ground was broken for what is now EPCOT.
Also, Josh D’Amaro also shared a sneak peak of the Walt the Dreamer statue on Instagram last night.
D’Amaro stated, “I got a sneak peek tonight of the Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Wonderful World of Dreams Pavilion at D23 Expo and I know fans will be blown away. Can’t wait to share more this weekend.”
