News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[WDWtraveler]

Photo update as of Friday, November 22, 2019. Progress on the two pass-through areas to Future World East and West.

Pavement is almost complete on the west entrance into Future World west, from the restroom area west of Spaceship Earth leading to the Coral Reef Restaurant at The Seas with Nemo & Friends. With addition of landscaping to hide the backside of the building housing the Art of Disney, this pass-through could open soon, relieving some of the congestion in the original breezeway between the Future World pavilions (Epcot Character Spot).

On the east side, the original forested hill has been leveled, with forms laid down for future pavement. The Guest Relations building is on the left in the photo.

Wow. I figured this would take a while more before demo started. I guess I'll see this in person next week.

Are you admitting you’re not on top of things .......?

Looks like F, H, and G are that food carts by imagination from reedy creek address finder. I could not find K or J does any one what those are, are they new ons?

I thought the red path would go in-between energy and the innoventions buildings, which is why they didn't close that area off by Joffreys.

It's closed off

If anyone is interested, here's my very lengthy post on the upcoming changes to Epcot based on what I say on my September trip.

Twitter rumor floating around that the egg may get pushed to Phase 2 of the overhaul. Any truth to it?

Cite your sources next time.

So if the Table Top is moved to Phase II, then there will basically be nothing between Spaceship Earth and the Showcase Lagoon...Just dead space and a water play area...

Reading the guys tweets, he's not a great source. If you want to believe him the Matterhorn will become Frozen themed.

No, it means delayed.

That’s assuming a demo of Innoventions still happens. You could still do a lot with existing building that would serve similar needs like conventions/private events; the raison d’être for this project.
