For those who haven’t visited Epcot for a while, enjoying it this summer will be a total surprise. And the theme park that, since its inauguration in 1982, was considered the most “adult” due to its attractions dedicated to science and innovation, has become a varied option full of novelties, secrets to discover and fun. for all tastes and ages.
Being amazed by the flavors of a typical dish from a remote place like Morocco, or finding a Viking museum with authentic pieces are fascinating examples of the many experiences that have always defined the character of this park, but its updates have been giving it a new dimension. which came to fruition with the new attractions Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Journey of Water, inspired by Moana; and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, which for me is the most impressive in Orlando, so far.
Today, this great transformation closes its cycle with the inauguration of several spaces that celebrate creativity and consolidate Epcot as an entertainment alternative that combines gastronomy, technology, science, and culture.
Within the framework of the “This is Magic” event, which brought together different activities and announcements, the CommuniCore Hall and the CommuniCore Plaza and CommuniCore Hall, where you can enjoy the most outstanding snacks from the festivals that take place in the park all year roundas well as encounters with Mickey Mouse and his friends, and musical works to sing, dance and laugh.
The first of these works embraces Latin culture in many ways because it is “Celebración Encanto!”, where you will not only enjoy the music and color evoked by the beautiful film inspired by Colombian magical realism, but the cast The entire show is Hispanic and its artistic director is Juan Cantú, Disney World’s first Hispanic show director.
Sarah Domenech, public relations manager for Walt Disney World Resort, highlights that In these new spaces, samples from the different areas of the park will be gathered such as World Celebration, World of Nature, World Showcase, as well as special entertainment every day.
Furthermore, Domenech emphasizes the great emotion that it means for her, and for the cast members, Latinos that the first show to be presented in this place celebrates our culture. “There are many Latinos who work at Disney and we have many Latinos who visit Walt Disney World, so little by little we see ourselves more and more represented. This is the first time we have a completely Latin show, where we not only hear Encanto’s songs, but we have wonderful dialogue in Spanish in a show that is presented several times a day, every day.
