Disney World EPCOT Has Drastically Changed - Opening Day Of CommuniCore Hall & Updates To The Land

EPCOT June 2024

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram- AdamTheWooATW After all these years the current huge construction project at EPCOT is complete. It’s not bad but not great, it’s just there

[@longline80]

Same sentiment here, "Its just there"....I call it Epcot Springs now.

[@writerpatrick]

The renovation was a failure. They cancelled half their plans.

[@CobraKai63]

Not as good as 80’s Epcot Center, but better than 2000’s Epcot 🤷‍♂️

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

Love to show ya some cool Disney stuff around Portland If you Kreep up this way again

[@darien5712]

​@CobraKai63 in 2000 it still looked like Epcot and not a college campus.. why pay for a college campus park.

[@dowarnette]

CommuniCore hall reminded me of the lounge area of a community college.

[@riparianlife97701]

The whole park looks like a college campus.

[@fiveddisney817]

Totally agree, I look at stuff like this and wonder how Disney thought this was what Epcot needed...or even worth the funding/expense

[@brianwu2697]

Exactly! Or Terminal C of MCO!

[@royavery6949]

Late 80's early 90's EPCOT is now one of my top moments in time to visit if time traveling is possible. Just hurts my soul seeing what its become.

[@xzy89c]

Me too. Loved the old Epcot

[@bisleyblackhawk1288]

Same here for my late wife…we took our two daughters every year…the whole Disney thing is changing (and NOT for the better) if I might add 😥😥😥

[@theirishhammer9108]

I can't believe it took THAT LONG to create a building with chairs in it and a garden with trees and benches ... the entire change is underwhelming for how long it took. This should have been done in less than a year. Why did it take, 4 -5 years??? And don't give me "covid"! Universal is almost done building an ENTIRE new park that will be completed in less than 2 years!!!

[@gridley]

Well, at least the new Tiana ride is reportedly really good. Real-ly g-ood.

[@nemiiart]

Totally agree, this is garbage.

[@DislikeRadio]

In 1979, EPCOT Center was swampland. It opened as a full theme park 3 years later. In 3 years here, they've made a small festival center building.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Exactly

[@CobraKai63]

Easier to build in an empty space, than to build around existing structures and park guests.

[@e.l.norton]

​@@CobraKai63The Empire State Building was built in the middle of Manhattan almost 100 years ago in just one year. There is no excuse for this much time and money with nothing to show for it.

[@401Impala]

Covid didn't have any impact on it. At all. None. Zero. Supply chains have and always were running on schedule. /s

[@TubeScrewed]

It took me 3 years to build my shed. It's a nice shed.

[@laurenelisabethdooley6451]

The only good thing about the new area is that the walls are down! Nothing else… Just the walls are down. And it only took 5 years! Great job Disney!

[@timmc6009]

This looks like a result of IKEA and a shopping mall having a baby.

[@doug3959]

As an out of state visitor, a day such as this would be a total waste of money to drive hundreds of miles to get here. Locals and once every year visitors have different perspectives. Communicore seems a waste of good space.

[@cathycarroll2405]

The Encanto Show...Disney never misses a chance for people to STAND IN THE SUN!

[@jeffhaddox2239]

EPCOT has gone from fun and educational, too a place too drink eat and get a picture for social media 😕

[@bv5278]

Living with the Land is one of the all time best things at Epcot.

[@xzy89c]

Loved it

[@ilovegodzilla]

Looking at this makes me wonder why it took so long. Noting innovative or special.

[@MrBigdavehd97]

Adam ive been following you for 12 plus years now ,I always look forward to your vlogs ,a few timee im my life I need them more than ever ,I had a bad heath scare three weeks ago(heart attack)at 48 years old,being off work these vlogs keep me spirted,you have done this serval times in these years,I hope you relize that what you do is a staple in alot of lives,(fit by 50 brother)!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Hey Dave thanks for the nice comment and for watching all this time . Hope you have a good day

[@matthewfarmer2520]

I'm 48 as you I had heart surgery when I was 16 I was born with a hole in my heart size of a nickel, I learn to do some exercises, I was in highschool at the same time as my heart surgery had gym class half of the year. Hope you take care of yourself. I know heart attack is scary. Thanks for sharing.

[@catherineaw143]

Listen to your doc and you will get better ❤️‍🩹Good luck with everything 🌹

[@pamnicholson3887]

Just imagine what Epcot would look like if Disney didn't spend all their profits on ABC, ESPN, mediocre movies, etc

[@MichaelRei99]

This comment is on point!! The parks should be separate from the other BS!

[@writerpatrick]

The big problem was buying FOX, or at least paying too much for it. It put them in a bad financial position they still haven't recovered from. The Epcot renovation directly reflects the effect it had on the parks. They had to cut a lot and couldn't afford to work on the parks during shutdown.

[@mikemckee6583]

Imagine what it would be like if the Iger Company could swallow its misplaced pride, admit they’ve been exploiting Walt’s legacy to indoctrinate children into deviant lifestyles, and reversed course on their “woke” crusade. I’m a lifelong Disney fan, but the current management, along with a slew of demented employees, have probably doomed it for good. They were handed a platinum brand and destroyed it so thoroughly that no one trusts it any more. Just look at the lack of guests in JUNE! Most people get what’s happening and want nothing to do with this perversion of a once great company. The Iger Company is on life support and next year Epic Universe will come along and pull the plug. Oh, and as with anything this company does these days, this Epcot “reimagining” is a pile of hot garbage. I’ve seen better interior design in the local mall.

[@michaeljordan6008]

Just sell ESPN - that network is a disaster.

[@Boris-xx7dw]

Oh look a concrete bench , wooden slats on the ceiling ! Oh look Epcot emblem on the dispenser on and on and on with the obvious 😂😂😂 I was having trouble sleeping until now 😂

[@JP105INYO]

I miss the old Epcot and especially the fountain!

[@TheDailyWoo]

I still have no idea why they got rid of the fountain

[@theirishhammer9108]

@@TheDailyWoo agreed. To not have one is criminal ... still can't believe it took YEARS to build a garden. YEARS!!!! Meantime at Universal ...

[@caryrae73]

Can’t believe what they got rid of for planters and a cafeteria looking area. It was cool with the fountain how they added different water from the different nations and the show it would have.

[@gridley]

The water at least added kinetic energy to what now has the ring of an office business park in Irvine, Calif or Silicon Valley

[@brianwu2697]

Yeah Fountain of Nations was something unique especially.

[@marcelmazpule2287]

I love what Ron said, Universal has now all the connections with Kids having Mario, Minions, Harry Potter and How to Train a Dragon. Now if they can somehow get some Godzilla contract with an experience since they have Kong would be amazing and a cash cow due to the love of Godzilla in Japan that has 125mil people there. Plus the love here for Godzilla

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

So NICE to see that Area open !!! Always Fun to see the DISNEY PARKS ! Thank You, ADAM !! 😊

[@philo5096]

How could they not provide shade for those benches. So friggin stupid.

[@Michael-nz5kn]

Shade in Florida? What for?

[@delbazemore9580]

I went to Epcot for the first time in the summer of 1983 when it was still known as Epcot Center. It's really changed since that time without a doubt. It had only been open for about 6-7 months. I can only remember " The World Of Motion" "The Living Seas", The Land, Universe of Energy with the REALLY LARGE Animatronic Dinosaurs that you rode through. I think Exxon sponsored it , but don't remember for sure. This ride was replace by the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Roller Coaster that uses the inside space where the Dino's used to be. And naturally, the Giant Golf Ball" Space Station Earth. I would pass out in the heat now...and too many people to deal with. This is why I like to watch these vlogs...I can sit and watch them from the comfort of my house and not melt in the Florida heat.

[@stephenthomas2293]

At 4:55 because of you Adam, exactly a week ago today, last Tuesday, my son and I were at Epcot Center and did the same reflection picture. You started that tradition for us. Over the years I’ll take a picture with my son until he gets older and maybe have a montage of him at different ages, he’s 9 right now. So every year until he’s 50 we’ll take a picture 🙂

[@TheDailyWoo]

Very cool !

[@mickeysmyspiritanimal223]

@stephenthomas2293, why stop at 50? 🤔 🤷🏽‍♀️ Take those pictures with your beloved son as long as you can! What an awesome memory indeed! Happy upcoming Father’s Day to you! 🥰🏰🥳🎉

[@stephenthomas2293]

@@mickeysmyspiritanimal223 thank you, as long as it takes for sure 👍🏻 and thank you for the Father’s Day shout out, I love being a dad

[@magicsnakeball7958]

Hey Adam, really appreciate your editing with the JAMMitors in this video. Gave me the feeling of being there, watching them for a bit, and then walking around the park and hearing the rhythms in the background. Good touch!

[@brians7727]

Nothing makes me skip ahead faster than a Jamitors appearance 😂

[@TheDailyWoo]

Aww I love them

[@xzy89c]

​@TheDailyWoo they must be better in person. Does not translate to KZbin well

[@brians7727]

@@xzy89c I 100% agree - I bet they're much more entertaining in.person. Its just a bit much in the earbuds lol

[@CristheGirl]

I'll always miss what it used to be & there's def some missteps like the lack of shade.... BUT, I tell you what, you'll find me in that building most of the summer too, never going to complain about more seating/AC options. Also, that monorail candy dispenser/pencil holder is so dope. Thanks Adam!

[@NadaSurferTube]

omg...I could totally listen to some music in that CommuniCore Hall by New York minimalist composer Philip Glass. " As I turn and look into the sun, the rays burn my eyes! How like a turtle the sun looks!" hehehe

[@margarethanson8330]

Why did it take so long to build a warehouse? I don't think Walt would like the new view; he would have loved the fountain.

[@VickieHubbard-po2ed]

Hi Adam you and your youtube friends cheer me up. My parents are gone and it gets lonely. Im disabled and they both took great care of me and when my dad died in 2003 i took care of my mom and enjoyed her company. be safe Vickie😊

Great video Adam. Keep up the great work.

I love the fact that it's hot, coming over from England next week, we have had a terrible start to summer

[@enchantingthrills]

I’ve been so curious to see how this would turn out. Thanks for the great vlog!

[@horrordude8673]

Communicore hall looks more like a bland Apple Store . 5 yrs or so even with a pandemic and that’s all they did? Kind of underwhelming . Hopefully during festivals it adds more life to it.

[@voiceoverguyharris]

Hey Adam. Out of all the vlogs I watched before our trip 2 weeks ago from the UK (first in 24 years), I've never seen anyone show the miniature trains in Germany. Keep up the good work :-)

[@theathjr]

Adam I can’t help but recall the episode from Seinfeld regarding the bag🤣. “European Carry-All”

[@Kodachrome40]

Communicore used to be the place in the front of the park where you made your dining reservations. If you passed it sometimes you couldn’t get anything to eat.

[@richardreadinger1724]

I honestly get a kick out of your trips to WDW, and around Celebrations, thanks for having us!!😊😊😊 0:06

[@denisedarnell1641]

Love both items you purchased Now that I am feeling a little better health-wise, I am resuming my Snow White hunt. I need her more in my life and my 3 yr old twin granddaughters love her too and marvel when we do find something with her on it . I wish I had more $$ to buy stuffie of her or something they could hug cause I dont have anything like that. ❤❤❤

[@Jazzy_Waffles]

I can't wait to go back to EPCOT. Was there last August, and the walls were so bad. Made the park so much more annoying to walk around. Living in Arizona, it’s expensive to make my way to WDW. Hopefully soon!

[@maryannrenzulli2426]

Finally those WALLS are down!! Love that you can sit in AC, at the Comm. Hall Center, Looks real nice 🤩cannot wait to go! But, Oh all the "Flower & Garden" flowers are Gone!! 😟I wonder what they did with all of them...🏵🌺🌻hopefully put them somewhere else...they were so Beautiful...Nice Day. Thank You!! again..Glad to see you back in Florida🌴🌴☕☕

[@user-farrelld]

Hi Woo! was priceless.

[@SamEarleyFL]

Been going since the late 80s and this new area in Epcot is just bland and boring. I miss the InoVentions East and West, and the large Fountain. Epcot was always part fun and educational, now not so much.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Bland and boring is a good way to describe it

[@SamEarleyFL]

​@@TheDailyWoo Maybe it will better at night visit with all new lighting?

[@JP-hd5vu]

It’s getting to the point where I’m starting to wonder if Disney executives hate its devotees.

[@FunAtDisney]

It is bland for sure, but so was the original Communicore buildings. I went to Epcot on day one, Oct 1 1982 and much of those buildings were left partially empty for years. The same premise back then is true for Communicore today: A flex same that will be ever-changing. I am not saying I like it, because I would rather see an attraction put in there rather than a meet-and-greet, but it does keep the original intent of that area. But I do wish they still had those fountains as you do!

[@FunAtDisney]

@@SamEarleyFLThere have been a lot of posts of the lighting at night and that is when it really looks great!

[@xigahxigahh]

'I don't know if I'll ever use it but I think I'm gonna buy it.' My new life quote.

[@umrmech84]

"World Celebration Gardens is ear-piercingly loud and obnoxious." LOL. After your Matterhorn ride, I'm amazed that you can hear anything!!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Matterhorn wasn’t built as a relaxing area to sit and talk to friends or family in

[@shabbysnubtide3339]

Disney management turns up the dimmer switch on the land ride. “See, we are spending money on the parks”

[@robyndavis3043]

Not impressed 😢

[@BrewCityGillz]

7:51 - There’s the Disney point and then there is the Woo sunglasses pointing. 😁🕶️

[@youmarc11]

Loved original Epcot.

[@mustangcindy1303]

I miss everything that they were going to do with EPCOT that got scrapped. Especially the Mary Poppins area. The area inside with the a/c will be a nice place to relax on hot days like we are having now but I am sure it will definitely get noisy though with people coming in to relax and chit chat.~~ I love your shirt. It’s cute.

It just looks like another Odyssey building

[@mushieslushie]

They still have that millennium village tent, too. They seem to love building these event spaces that sit empty most of the time.

[@PoppaSquat-et3qp]

I feel ur pain woo. As a huge fan and avid visitor of the OG Epcot Center I am astonished of how it all makes the Hindenburg like a fun, safe ride. When I go to WDW today and could only visit 3 parks Epcot would be a no go for me. It’s a shame as I do love the food offerings here. It may be different if I drank booze which like yourself I do not imbibe.

[@ClarkyAv]

Look at the new areas then look at the Land pavilion. The new areas are so dull compared to how they used to design things.

I'm still hoping that Germany gets that rhine river cruise boat ride someday since the ride building has always existed and never used. And of course the mary poppins ride too.

[@MichaelRei99]

That would be epic!

[@Lifeandtimeswithcyndi]

The only thing I miss from the old area is the fountain. I went back and looked at old videos of East and West and I don’t think my family stepped foot in there more than once or twice in all the years we went. And that was when my children were young. I know a lot of people are disappointed but I’m still excited to see it in person without the walls.

[@kkraut]

Total Disney flop. They are really struggling and should be worried about their competency at this point knowing that Universal has their actual talent

[@darsstar6440]

I just love Epcot, but there is parts of it. That does look like a college campus but that’s OK with me. The one thing I shy away from are the guys with the trash cans as soon as I see them I have the opposite direction they just don’t do it for me, thanks for the great video again Adam
