Epcot Future World Construction Walls - September 2019
Posted: Thursday September 12, 2019 9:16am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Epcot's Future World is full of construction walls as early work begins to transform the land into the new "Worlds."

At the main entrance, the majority of the area is walled off for removal of Leave a Legacy and to begin work on the new main entrance plaza.

Walls line the edge of the park between Gateway Gifts and Guest Relations.

More walls can be found on the eastern side next to Mouse Gear.

The playground remains open, but is surrounded by walls.

The Future World West bathroom area near to Test Track is also behind walls.

According to Disney, when complete "Epcot will be unified with four neighborhoods that each speak to important aspects of the world and its people: World Showcase, World Celebration, World Nature and World Discovery. These neighborhoods will be filled with new experiences rooted in authenticity and innovation that take you to new destinations, where the real is made fantastic in a celebration of curiosity, hands-on wonder and the magic of possibility."

You must be new here… If they aren’t complaining, its a rarity.

Two new rides and a cessation of a Food Festival during the Summer. If that's evolution, they're doing it wrong.

Coming soon (probably) to The Seas with Nemo and Friends - Cars: A Musical Celebration.

It’s less of a complete park today than it was in 1998… Our standards need re-evaluated.

nah its still a great theme park, but with more food options...thats not a bad thing imo. Epcot always felt like the adult park where they focused on eating drinking and ambience more than rides and thrills. But they added a few great rides over the last years so its gotten a bit better in that regard as well

The continuing evolution of Epcot from a theme park to the world’s largest food court.

One would assume it’s a mishmash of things that sell really well (ie highest prices/margins) from the 345 days a year of festivals I’m not in love with it…but it’s also not the worst idea ever If they’re smart…big If…they rotate it seasonally to not cross with the festival booths…it’s a good idea. If it’s set stuff and they just push volume…not so much.

I’m hoping that they have the empanada that the Encanto booth has during Festival of the Arts. That is one of my favorite festival foods!

I hope none of the VPs have heard of this thus far!!

Can't wait until all the VPs come strolling through and realize what a stupid idea it was to knock down West Communicore and the fountain in the first place.

I think it'll do well. With the sitting areas, some shade and chargers, people will probably want to grab a bite and a drink while there.
