Dude, they said they liked five unique gardens better than a pin trading booth in the center of a shadeless abyss. Not every positive comment has to be treated like a wanton slap across the face of your childhood with a palm-turned signet.We went from a glorious fountain centerpiece to some trees and concrete (oh, and Walt on a toilet).
Yeah, it’s amazing.

Sorry an improvement would be more attractions at Epcot and doing something with that empty pavilion.Well, I never saw that fountain as glorious. IMO, I did everything I could to walk through that wasteland as quickly as possible.
This is an improvement in my eyes, minus removing the symmetry.

I'm not sure how anyone could think this isn't an improvement over what was there before this construction started -- other than the loss of the Fountain of Nations, which is still a tremendous shame.
Whether it's an improvement over original EPCOT is a different question (my answer is no, it is not better than the original), but that had already been destroyed and replaced with concrete.
The landscaping is a very nice refresh - absolutely.
The loss of the symmetry, questionable placement of attractions/IP, loss of a large water feature/show and sheer time this is taking remain huge issues.
Both opinions can be held simultaneously, I would say.![]()
You as an Epcot fan should be familiar with and even entertained by change over time, no?We went from a glorious fountain centerpiece to some trees and concrete (oh, and Walt on a toilet).

The eastern portion is pretty much fully paved. The west has most of the main path paved but not the areas that run through the gardens. The walls and curbs of Dreamers Point seem complete, but they look to be adding gravel before they pave the elevated portions. Much of Communicore Plaza is paved as well. The south end where the Fountain of Nations used to be and the western passage toward The Land are still pretty void of ground cover, though. But do keep in mind that in these shots, much of the paved area has protective covering to prevent damage from construction vehicles, so it won't look all that great.Looking forward to the park opening up again. I did think it would be further on than what it is though. Those pictures seem to show a lot more "dirt" than I thought there would be. Is all that dirt mostly just waiting for plants?
