In the latest video posted to YouTube on August 9, by Park Update you can see how it currently looks. You can see that there is still a lot of work to be done on CommuniCore Hall and Plaza but there appears to be a lot of construction workers and vehicles on site which is definitely a good sign. This new EPCOT transformation is slated to open in the Fall but as we are now in mid-August, many are questioning whether this will come to fruition? Lights have been added to the poles and more fencing has appeared. Journey of Water: Inspired by Moana looks complete, we know that Cast Members have been play testing the area and await the announcement of an official opening date. We will continue to update you on this over the coming weeks.
In the previous update which is embedded below and was posted on August 3, we saw that a lot more trees have been planted and there appears to be more construction vehicles on site and workers everywhere.
In a photo update posted to Twitter by Bioreconstruct, we can see how this area which is slated to open later this year is shaping up.
Here is how World Celebration currently looks as of July 7. As you can see work continues to progress well.

At bottom center are forms for a garden that seems to pair with the garden often used for topiaries. (Garden perhaps best known as being a Food and Wine Festival cranberry bog.) pic.twitter.com/9NXq9D9DnE— bioreconstruct (@bioreconstruct) July 7, 2023
There have been developments with the gardens and palm trees are expected to be added at the side of the CommuniCore Plaza stage. There appears to be a question mark regarding the orange basins which can be seen in the photo below. We expect this to become clearer over the coming weeks.
