Epcot central area construction - October 2019
Posted: Tuesday October 8, 2019 12:18pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The center of Epcot is full of construction walls, who's appearance has been improved with the new Epcot logo, attraction icon and colors.

At the park's main entrance area, ground clearing continues and early preparation for the new landscaping are underway.

Near to Spaceship Earth and Epcot's Guest Relations, ground clearing is taking place with the removal of trees.

Fountain of Nations, Starbucks, Club Cool and Character Spot are behind walls and demolition equipment is on site.

Between Innoventions West and the Living Seas, ground clearing is underway.

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.

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!
