World Celebration construction at EPCOT

World Celebration Construction - March 19 2021
Posted: Monday March 22, 2021 8:39am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Work continues at EPCOT on reworking the former Innoventions East and Mouse Gear into the new center of the upcoming World Celebration.


Crews continue with installing new angled glass panels on the exterior of the new merchandise location.

A lot of work is also taking place on the roof, which looks to have new coverings.

The breezeway has seen a lot of work, with new ceilings and glass panels on either side.


The former Electric Umbrella area will become home to new food and beverage location including a Starbucks, quick serve and Coca Cola.


No word yet on when we can expect any of this to open, but we understand there is a priority on reopening the merchandise location as soon as possible.

    Isn’t city aquarium/museum the exact vibe that epcot purists want, though?? Jokes aside, I’m not sure I know of any museums or aquariums with any scores besides Monterey Bay, which honestly has an incredible score.

    It’s a fine score… for a city aquarium or museum. I’m not a fan of it at all.

    I had not listened to the new loops at all. Now, I just listened to the first five minutes, then I skipped ahead ten minutes, then another ten minutes, and it was literally almost exactly the same thing over and over and over again. This is a big 👎 in my opinion. The theme is nice, but anything would get tiresome after fifteen minutes on repeat, let alone an hour.

    I like the songs. I just wish we got a better Epcot redo in general, and hope the ship can be righted in the future somehow, in some form.

    I just find it repetitive. I wish it had classic Epcot themes woven throughout as was previously the case.

    The problem with that loop is that it just doesn't give you that futuristic feeling of the area. It's a shame that the neighborhoods don't have their own distinct loop..

    I really don’t understand why they won’t release it. It’s a beautiful score.

    I like it. One of the best parts of the EPCOT redo.

    Is there hope for the return of the Innoventions loop??

    I guess that new music loop will not be released anymore?

    Absolutely! I just meant if they were to put just one on each side like the trees! These talls were really representative of Florida's Best!
