What’s going on behind these walls down on the Rosewalk walkway? Usually they have a F&G playground here. It’s been closed off for months. More eating options planned?

Resodding?

Interesting. They had fake sod there last time it was a guest space. Looks like it’s been abandoned for a while. Not sure why they wouldn’t just sod it and take down the walls.

Yes, it's the former home of Figment Popcorn Bucket eBay Photo Square.

Must be deciding what to do with it and and Starbucks. It would be a good spot for 3 festival stands to free up some space around the lagoon. But then theyd just use that space for a bath and body works tent...

It was the Flower and Garden playground for several years too. The walls have been up for a long time. I was just curious.

When Dan was VP of Epcot one of his missions was to clean up clutter on the promenade, wish they’d try to consolidate the booths into areas like beside Germany, between Morocco/France, along the Rose Walk to Imagination and the area behind Creations.

Yep, one and the same. I just choose to use its informal name.

Dude's a genius

New sign by the newly-reopened walkway and Project Tomorrow west exit. Interesting that JoW doesn’t have “inspired by Moana” underneath it.

Also, the chipped monorail beam at EPCOT that Bioreconstruct posted (first photo) has been patched as of today. (Second photo)

Patch was actually first reported on April 11, so thankfully, they were even quicker than that.

Didn’t catch this earlier

Hmmm... if temporary signs have JoW but not the rest of the new hub, maybe that means JoW will open before the rest of new hub stuff.

I wish they would have included the pavilion logos like they did for the Creations Shop/Connections breezeway signage.

It definitely isn’t a temporary sign

In the middle of the pathway is a choice

Definitely a strange placement. Also agree with @vikescaper that not including the pavilion logos is a bit of a miss.

Overall appearance is quite nice though.

Are they not in temporary paths?

No, that's a permanent path that has reopened.

The new signs look pretty nice. Would be intersted in seeing how well illuminated they are at night though.
