I stopped into Epcot for the evening on Monday and took some photos around the park, so let’s take a look at what’s new and exciting around Future World and World Showcase:
Welcome to Epcot
What we believe to be OSHA-demanded exit stairways being installed all around the Epcot monorail station
Spiral staircase coming in on this side
Epcot is getting ready for the Flower and Garden Festival, which of course begins on Wednesday
Soarin’ is still closed
I’m more inclined to think Circle of Life will return based on what the entrance looks like now, but expect some changes to the film at the very least
I guess we’ll use the stairs…
The lower floor men’s restroom being fixed up during these closures
The butterfly garden has a long way to go
The new musical playground is massive
A lot to do in a week
It was a slow roll-out, but all of the character topiraries have the updated look now
Tic Toc Croc got new eyes and eyebrows
LOOK OUT!
This was a meet and greet space in France, but Aurora has moved out
You still have a few days to see the Black History Month exhibits at the American Adventure
Walls up for festival offerings near Germany
Lots of tarps up in the China pavilion
Anna and Elsa in Norway
The tarps in Norway are now making it clearer that major facade changes are being made for Frozen Ever After
Here you can see the facade was actually stripped and a new one is being put on
Also, the hole in the rockwork is being sealed, so say goodbye to seeing the boats from outside
Work continues on the meet and greet experience next door
The Cars palyground returns in Future World
New Test Track antenna topper
Somehow missed this one released earlier in the month
All of the merchandise is MouseGear is being shuffled around again, but none of the existing signage is correct now
This is not home decor
Yes, this has toys, but also now all Princess items
Some Zootopia merchandise in stock, but something tells me it will not be enough come March 4th…
Epcot items moved half-way across the store
New Snow White and Jiminy Cricket shirts
Infinity and Playmation now make up an island in the middle of the store
The Gateway Gifts sign lives on…
Another staircase on the other side of the monorail station
