Hello from another very hot day at EPCOT! We took a walk around the park on this bright, sunny day to see what new things we could find to show you, and we’re glad we did. Let’s get started! Just two days after the EPCOT Monorail line reopened (after being unavailable for more than a … Read more
We said goodbye to Innoventions West this week as the final remnants of the building were demolished. While Innoventions West was removed, work continued on Innoventions East and the site of the new MouseGear store. These large construction projects are part of a newly reimagined EPCOT and will make up the World Celebration neighborhood. Excavation … Read more
Innoventions West is seemingly just days away from a complete demolition. As of this morning, the final piece of the breezeway that connected the area behind Spaceship Earth to Future World West has been removed. The only remnants left of Innoventions West are a few pieces of framing that we expect to disappear any day … Read more
Since EPCOT is officially reopen to the public, we are making our way around the park in order to provide any and all updates regarding the health and safety precautions in place. Next up, we are heading to the Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival! The first thing we noticed upon entering was a hand … Read more
New directional decals and signage was added across the front of EPCOT near Spaceship Earth earlier this month. With the center of the park now totally blocked by construction walls and a new pathway to navigate, the new signs were added to help direct guests around the maze of EPCOT. This morning, we saw two … Read more
Construction is taking over more pathways at EPCOT. Beginning tomorrow (February 16), the center of Future World will be walled off, meaning guests will have to choose between routes to Future World East or Future World West closer to the EPCOT entrance. Next to the Pluto meet and greet area just inside the right side … Read more
Now rolled out at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the final set of Guest Experience Teams are coming to EPCOT later this month. Teams will be located in Future World West and Future World East, and work as a mobile guest relations option for guests in need of assistance with directions, … Read more
EPCOT is currently nothing but construction walls, at least as far as the evolving Future World is concerned. While the maze of walls isn’t the greatest visual experience for guests, at least they’re trying to make it entertaining by slapping on as much theming and character art as possible. New to the EPCOT construction wall … Read more
It doesn’t seem like EPCOT without a festival going on anymore, and with a festival, comes brand new merchandise. Today we spotted new festival marketplace merchandise booths that were newly installed across from Future World West. These new booths have been erected with a similar color scheme that matches Port of Entry and Disney Traders’ … Read more
If you walk over by the Imagination! Pavilion and Journey Into Imagination with Figment, you might see something interesting going on. No, that’s not your imagination, there is actually something happening to the landscaping behind these construction walls that have been up for over a month. We first noticed the walls in mid October and … Read more
Originally built back in 1998, the Inventor’s Circle (also known as Discovery Tiles), located in the middle of Future World West, celebrates a number of milestone scientific achievements, like the creation of Antimatter. Other discoveries listed are fire, the cell, and human flight arranged in chronological order from the center of the circle. Each day, … Read more
Here at Epcot, construction of the redesigned Rose Walk pathway between Future World and World Showcase continues to progress as the 2019 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival is just weeks from opening. And that’s it! (Just kidding… did you really think we’d just take pictures of a wall?) It seems quiet now, but work … Read more
Despite the gorgeous views of flower quilts during the Flower & Garden Festival, one of my least favorite pathways to take at Epcot is the narrow one that connects Future World West (right around the Imagination! pavilion) to the Canada pavilion in the World Showcase. The bottlenecks that occur here rival that of the old … Read more
EPCOT: the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Many of us know that Walt’s original vision for EPCOT was that of an actual city, not a theme park. So, how did that change? How does EPCOT today even reflect what Walt’s original vision of the city was? If you’ve ever had these questions, or find them at all … Read more
