The kids' Liquid Layer splash pad is now behind construction walls in the World Discovery neighborhood of EPCOT.

The splash pad near Test Track and Mission Space is likely receiving an update to fit the new World Discovery look. Work is also underway on replacing concrete throughout the area.

There has yet to be any word from Disney on how long the splash pad will remain closed.

I think it depends on the kind of entertainment. I know I never wanted loud music that causes noise pollution in surrounding areas. There was already enough of that.

I think it’s weird to put a temporary stage as part of a festival, in the area they just redesigned for festivals. I would have figured their designs would be a bit more seamless and account for these types situations better. If it was their intent to always do a temp stage, I think that’s bad show and bad design for an area that was purpose built.

They do have a permanent stage. But also, two temporary acts. I don't understand this criticism at all. I thought more entertainment was what people here wanted.

I thought the whole point of the Epcot overhaul to include a new permanent stage and festival center would change all that. I mean, is it really a stretch to think that was going to be the case?

They've been setting up a secondary stage for Joyful for years now. Norway gets a stage for its Christmas storyteller. Extra stages for a festival isn't new. It's not like they should build out a dozen permanent stages all over the place in case they need them.

Maybe they're learning how much of a bad idea it was having a stage right against the hub? I know it's temporary but it says something that they're spending the time and money to install a temp stage like 150ft away from the permanent stage.

For comparison, these are the similarly reflective new panels outside of Communicore Hall

Looks like @DreamfinderGuy was right- they’re now replacing the opaque panels with new translucent ones, similar to the new ones recently added to the ground lighting outside Communicore Hall. So far, all of the cross sections have the new translucent panels.

Wait, wait wait...so after all that, they did not build enough infrastructure to cover all festivals?

Maybe they can do both Celebracion Encanto and Joyful at the same time. Throw in a Spaceship Earth light show at the same time and 🤌🏻 https://blogmickey.com/2024/11/second-stage-communicore-plaza-epcot/
