The EPCOT Guest Relations sign has been removed and replaced with the new style as work continues in this area of the park.

Updated EPCOT Guest Relations sign and exterior - May 16 2022

The Guest Relations sign over the entrance was one of the last remaining legacy signs in the former Future World. Guest Relations has been temporarily relocated to the front of the park during the work.

Elsewhere in this area work is wrapping up on the newly extended column between Guest Relations and Connections Cafe. This addition conceals a stairway for rooftop access. The tall lighting poles seen elsewhere in World Celebration and World Discovery have also been installed.

Yeah Encanto show is fine, but the DJ thing gotta go. It just pollutes the atmosphere vibe of Epcot. Calling it World Celebration isn’t an excuse. Just doesn’t belong.

We've been by it too in the past two weeks and if nothing else, it shows how management and WDI have no clue as to what the EPCOT is. They keep throwing darts at the board looking for something to land, but my goodness, the place is so disjointed. Rave Mickey is something to behold outside Communicore Hall. Or as my mom said (about Communicore) after she first went in, "This garbage isn't worthy of being in SeaWorld, let alone Disney." Yup. Rave+Lame=MKCOT. Great job, Bob!

I like the daytime Encanto show. It's Disney. And fun. And good music. But, I hereby condemn the Christian rock band that can't hit their notes and the late night Latino Pop DJ who's not even playing Christmas songs and whose music clashes with the SSE 'shows.' But far be it from me to criticize anything modern Disney does.

My parents and I hate this dumb party center thing. It really sinks in at night when you have the Epcot holiday loop playing by the planter but then you got the thump of bass coming from one side of the park. It actually sucks and worsens the area. And seeing CC Hall for the first was hilarious. They really could've refurbed half of the old CC West building and have a more exciting overhaul then this dumb thing there. And no, the egg table building still would've been much worse.

It's even worse in person.

Good god, that is awful. Not to mention, possibly causing epileptic seizures (something I am always aware of, since my sister has epilepsy). Reminds me of that ridiculous DJ they had at the MK. 🤢

Epcot is kinda like millennial daycare if you really think about it.

I found a picture from February with them on. Can't post it at the moment though.

Pretty sure these were turned off intentionally within like, two weeks of the plaza opening? A month at most maybe? The lighting made the statue look ominous and I don't think WDI liked that.
