Newly Opened World Celebration At EPCOT – Daytime Tour (Photos, Video)

On December 5 (which happens to be Walt Disney’s birthday), EPCOT opened the new World Celebration neighborhood.  The construction walls are down and the new area features plenty of gardens, green space, sculptures, and places to sit and relax.

Let’s take a look!
