One of the last surviving EPCOT Center signs has been removed and replaced under Spaceship Earth at Gateway Gifts.

The new style sign at Gateway Gifts

The original sign lasted through several refurbishments, including the most recent earlier in the year.

The new style sign is part of the park's makeover, and matches the other new signage that is being installed throughout what is currently Future World.

As to the blank wall of Communicore Hall, one would think that since it's already in cast previews, they're pretty much done, but adding some trees wouldn't be a tall order. It's even worse looking in person.

I can agree with the criticism of this. While I overall actually like World Celebration, I'm disappointed see all these issues so early on. Even more disappointed to see nothing being done about it.

They almost certainly would not have demolished the old Innoventions building if they weren't already in the middle of doing so when the pandemic hit and their plans changed. They tore it down to build the Festival Center that was cancelled; they weren't planning on rebuilding something similar.

Thanks for sharing the photos. I don't understand the choice to frame out the screen that way and the banners look really out of place. The look doesn't go with the architecture.

It’s cute for a meet and greet area, but I wish Disney would stop trolling us with the dreamfinder references and actually do something about the state of the attraction. To me, this area feels like it just as easily could have been retrofitted into the old Innoventions building(s) as it’s basically just a big blank room, so not sure it was worth or needed 5 years of construction. Again like most projects of late, just kind of leaves you underwhelmed.

I'm rather excited to see what they do with this area around the holidays. Will there be a special holiday show?

Now if only they’d fix the missing (for years) parts of the Odyssey pavilion logo sign on the west-facing side of the building lol

Here’s a look at the flex space from today, along with a photo of new theming on the video display in CommuniCore Plaza. The kiosk in the back of the flex space is Wine & Wedge. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53762090014_804b01e98a_o.jpg
