PHOTO REPORT: EPCOT 4/14/21 (Harmonious Barge Screen Testing, Sea Turtles, Continued Refurbishments, New Cake, and More)

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another spring day as we take you into the future and around the World Showcase. It started to feel like summer as it was a little hot outside today, but let’s get started.

01_epcotcenterdr_041421-9633839

We start by looking for changes at EPCOT Center Drive, but this archway still has the classic color scheme.

Lots of construction workers on top of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, which is a good sign that something is being worked on up there.

05_eastbreezeway_041421-1900633

The East Breezeway is completely covered, the area that is to become Club Cool. But we guess we’ll all have to wait for when the scrim comes down to give any more updates.

Work continues on the Harmonious barges as screens are continuing to be tested, now only if they would run the water jets for a while and maybe cool down the area.

06a_threecaballeros_041421-4019327

The Three Caballeros are still missing from The Gran Fiesta Tour. With each passing day, we miss them just as much, but it’s another day closer to their return.

On our way around the World Showcase, we ran into the Princess Cavalcade. We weren’t sure what she was pointing at though…but it ended up being an untied shoe. Thank you, Princess Aurora!

Walking over to the France Pavilion and see no new changes as of yet at the expansion area, but a nice picture of Gusteau’s keeps us yearning for the opening.

Fewer wood panels can be found on the floor and replaced by more permanent fixtures around the pavilion.

The Morocco Pavilion bathrooms are still being refurbished. At least there’s still the new restrooms in the nearby France and America Pavilions if you really need one.

12_gelato_041421-7213132

Work continues on La Gelateria but for some better shots check out this post we recently published to see what’s going on behind those walls.

14_turtles_041421-2673379

With a quick stop at The Seas with Nemo and Friends, we saw these guys showing off for the guests. These two sea turtles are male. You can tell because their tails are longer than their hind legs.

15_strawberry_041421-3497077

Before we go, we always look for an excuse to show off some good food. We have posted a review of Strawberry Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake previously, so check it out here!

That’s another day at EPCOT in the books. Just as the sign says, we move forward, “shaping the future together…” Tune in again soon to see more changes brought to you first by WDWNT.
