experience and the art of storytelling. An ethereal "story light" would guide guests as they travel through the attraction. The attraction's new exit would be Dreamers Point, an elevated area which would present a panoramic view of the park (which was cancelled to make way for a new Festival space, CommuniCore Hall and Plaza) and would feature a lush garden with a "wishing tree" (which has been cancelled to make way for a new Meet and greets characters as Mickey and Friends), an interactive fountain (which has been cancelled to make way for new EPCOT Gardens), and Walt the Dreamers as a statue of Walt Disney.
