Latest look at construction of the new food and beverage area at the center of EPCOT in World Celebration

World Celebration food and beverage area construction - October 13 2021
Posted: Wednesday October 13, 2021 1:24pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

With Creations Shop and Club Cool now open at EPCOT, construction efforts are focused on completing the new food and beverage areas in World Celebration.

The temporary Mouse Gear location is now being gutted to be combined with the space from the former Innoventions area.

The view from the other side shows work progressing on the exterior of the Innoventions and Electric Umbrella building.

We don't yet have specifics on names for the new food and beverage offerings or where they will be located within the building.

New additions will include a quick-service restaurant to replace Electric Umbrella, a new Starbucks, and some other specialty offerings.

    To me going to World Showcase was basically walking down Creation's Shop with a wall on the right. If you had to say go from East side or West side of Future World yeah you'd have to go to one end or the other. To leave the park in front you had a short cut exit on one side.

    Zach Riddley and Charita Carter have been assigned "other duties"? 🤷‍♂️

    They just "fixed" it, remember? They had a whole campaign that went on for years about how they were revamping the entire place. It resulted in a confusing mishmash with no clear goal and a ton of things that still desperately need work sitting there in plain sight, but from their perspective they just improved everything.

    In other words not too different from the park today

    MK currently has one major attraction down in Thunder Mountain, another C/D ticket is closing in August in Buzz Lightyear, and a moderate capacity play (Rivers of America / Tom Sawyer Island / Riverboat) are also expecting to close before the end of the year. This begs the question, why is Test Track the only overhaul / replacement / refurbishment currently going on at EPCOT? Spaceship Earth, Nemo and Imagination all needed to be refurbished 10 years ago.

    I was referencing the joke I made above but yes I hated the walls. They made navigating the park a nightmare and were really really ugly.

    Can’t be much worse than the fiasco that’s there now.

    I sincerely hope not. It would dig up a lot of bad memories for me.

    What are the odds construction walls go up in this area within the next year?

    Seriously. They put all this nice soft lighting and music loop in the new hub, but then put a dj playing 2000s club hits with harsh lights next to it. I blame the morons who spend their time watching the dj instead of exploring world showcase. Paying all that money for an experience they could get for free at Disney springs. Or a local bowling alley
