EPCOT Dedication Plaque 2024
Posted: Tuesday November 26, 2024 6:14am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The EPCOT dedication plaque has made its return to the main entrance of the park, now incorporated into the sleek new signage that reflects the park's updated aesthetic.


 

The plaque is mounted on a black background, framed by a contrasting blue border. The design also features EPCOT's bold font, a signature element of the park's refreshed visual style.


The dedication plaque includes the text written by Card Walker.

To all who come to this Place of Joy, Hope and Friendship
Welcome
Epcot is inspired by Walt Disney's creative vision. Here, human achievements are celebrated through imagination, wonders of enterprise and concepts of a future that promises new and exciting benefits for all. May EPCOT Center entertain, inform and inspire and above all, may it instill a new sense of belief and pride in man's ability to shape a world that offers hope to people everywhere.

This update follows a series of enhancements to EPCOT's entrance, including the installation of new lighting, flags, landscaping updates, and a refreshed entrance fountain that pays homage to the park's classic look.

You can find the plaque near the EPOCOT main entrance at the flag pole.

Watching and waiting for the posts that the park no longer lives up to its prior name or vision.

Inconsistent EPCOT Logos.

Im happy to hear they are actually fixing the current center lights. Knowing modern Disney they could've easily let the lighting rot away.

Yes, they are also hard and sturdy, as opposed to floppy like the old ones. They’re also very reflective.

Do they look any higher quality than the old ones? I’m curious if they will be testing it tonight.

Here’s some photos I got a few days ago. These were taken the first day they were being installed, so there are much more installed now.

New Translucent LED diffusers seem be replacing the newly installed white covers in the broken ground lighting, maybe they are fixing it after all.

In better news, the perimeter fountain lights were recently repaired. The big beam into the sky should be working again soon as well

I am generally understanding, but this can't be that hard.
