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."

    Was at Epcot Friday and coming from World Celebration heading to Spaceship Earth the front I took notice about all this and heard some form of the theme with a Japanese like style instrumental fashion, suddle to me the first time I heard it, maybe it's from one of the two videos. When standing in line for Spaceship Earth the background there is basically the same as when playing during the SSE Light show. So some areas it's the same while other areas it's different variations of the same theme melody of course with maybe expanded directions of sorts.. yeah best I could explain with my experience Friday.

    I'm glad that I'm not the only one. While it is a nice motif at first, it gets old and the variations are just repeats.

    They are still playing, I’m literally in the park right now and all of the variations are still playing in each area lol

    I wish they would combine and have both! The Toprak is great for present current day today! I don't see why we can't get an upgraded instrumental to Epcot's old anthem songs. Universe of Energy was such a strong one! I am glad the Spaceship Earth 2019 refurb didn't happen because the current descending instrumental Orchestra song is so Spaceship Earth and so Epcot!

    um is this "someone" who posted videos above referring to me? If so then the two I posted aren't playing anymore..

    We must be going to different parks then, because I was there two nights ago and again tonight and those videos are exactly what’s playing lol

    It played within show It's called the Discovery Suite..I timestamped it from @marni1971's tribute.. But, I recall they did use this for closing music for the park after they'd play "we go on"

    Someone posted the videos of the hubs BGM above. That is not what is playing between the SSE shows.

    Where was the Illuminations 25 version of this played? During the show? It doesn't list the song on the Disney Wiki page for this show.

    Not sure what you’re talking about, the BGM during the day as well as the BGM at night in between SSE shows are the same, nothing has changed

    A while ago, I hung out in the hub and became increasingly frustrated with how Pinar's theme was being heavy - handedly hammered in each variation. I posted about it here. But the BGM played in between the SSE are are variations that don't do that, so somethings new.

    Which is why I'm confused how many different background music is there now. 😂

    Nothing has changed, there’s no new loop
