News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

I also noticed that they finished pouring some of the pavement outside the Creations Shop side of the building, and they are starting to put up construction walls along the edge of the new pathway. Hopefully that’s a sign that this thing will open soon.

It’s so awesome seeing that building with a paint job that doesn’t look like someone barfed all over it

If at first you dont succeed, beige, beige again.
or,
The future's so bright, I gotta wear beige.

2000 AVENUE OF THE STARS # E(200T AREA DEVELOPMENT) - Project G 200-T: Area development with supporting civil and underground work

If the new construction walls continue along the concrete path they are now, it looks like the landscaping areas will be behind the walls once the store opens so the magical glass walls they keep touting will only look out upon more construction walls at the time of opening. Hoping this isn't the case and I'm proved wrong.

I'm hoping they don't rush the project and/or value engineer it. The views out of those windows are meant to last decades. Several months to complete the project won't give anyone a second thought once completed.

The one thing I want in the center of what was innoventions plaza right now is a fountain. Forget the gift shop, give me a fountain.

Maybe I just don't understand construction, but the dirt pit looks like it hasn't changed in about 18 months...

So what exactly is going where the bar on legs was going to be built?

So what exactly is going where the bar on legs was going to be built?

I don't think anything's been said other than "festival area" instead of "festival center". I'm personally expecting a fairly similar footprint with kiosk and exhibition space that they can pretty seamlessly revert to the original plans at a later date if they so choose.

An open "area." Presumably lawn, landscaping, walkways, and booths.

Keeping their options open to go back to the barstool or something else.

The area near club cool, looks more like a portajohn storage yard. As many portojohns there are you would think the central core space would be crawling with construction people.

Well, that will be the new festival area, they have moved to a portajohn look vs. table top building :0
