Some Construction Walls Removed From The Seas in EPCOT, Info Signs Updated

Half of the construction walls are gone from inside The Seas pavilion of EPCOT, revealing few significant changes.

The Seas Construction

Futuristic indoor space with blue staircases, metal railings, and people walking or standing around.

There were previously construction walls on the left side of the pavilion’s aquarium space, between the manatee viewing area and the exit of The Seas With Nemo & Friends. The walls blocked access to one of the two escalators.

Those construction walls are gone now, opening up the space around the escalator. However, the escalator is still closed. There are also still walls blocking access to the other escalator.

There are no visible differences in the area, indicating construction work has just been standard maintenance. There are three large viewing windows next to the escalator, where guests can see into one of the large tanks framing the ride’s exit tunnel.

Restrooms and the elevator are accessible at the end of this hallway.

Upstairs, it’s mostly the same story. There are three viewing windows with informational signs on the columns between them.

The only difference appears to be with the signs. They used to be illuminated but are now only lit by the area’s regular lighting. The signs have new designs with information about sharks and fish.

Construction walls remain on the right side of the pavilion, blocking access to the other escalator.

The signs on either side of the tunnel, leading to a round viewing area, were also recently changed. The one on the left is about conservation, the one on the right about coral.

Since our last construction update, the walls inside the tunnel have been moved from the right side to the left.

These walls are covered in black tarps. They don’t quite reach the ceiling, and we could see signs of work beyond them.

Some tarps were taped to columns between the viewing windows.

As with the other areas, the opposite side of the tunnel has seen no big changes.

The Seas recently transitioned to a short-term rehabilitation center, so long-term dolphin and manatee residents were relocated. Three short-term manatee residents then moved in. In May, the DiveQuest experience will return after a six-month absence.

Other updates to The Seas include new “Finding Nemo” decorations added to the gift shop last year. In late 2023, the pavilion’s facade was updated with new paint, refreshed character decorations, and upgraded lighting. Around the same time, an underwater effect was restored to SeaBase.
