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.

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.

    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?

    Just fill them in with concrete already. So dumb

    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

    "Lighting Lane". Genius!

    If they are going to put up stanchions to block off the planter area, they may as well put up construction walls to build a nice little fountain in this area instead. If they start now, they could have it finished by EPCOT’s 50th in 2032.

    What a sad failure. I really want to hope all the future projects do not go this way and this was just because they were rushing to open something, anything.

    Pretty soon, you'll need a Lightning Lane pass to see the lights.

    What the actual fudge.

    A lot of the lighting seemed a tiny bit popped up so idk if that’s newer or how it’s been for a while. There was only one or two egregious pop-outs. This is technically early entry but I can’t fathom the reason why they’d rope off this area
