From shots around the wall, it looks like these trees got added yesterday or the day before. Seems nearly all landscaping not in the immediate vicinity of Communicore Hall is nearing completion.

A grave marker for the fountain of nations.





Obviously.

It’s not like the haven’t done that before.
I’m pretty sure they trapped Dreamfinder behind a fake office door, Cask of Amontillado-style.

I thought that planter was, if that’s a fountain I will forever call it the splash pad of nations. Im holding out hope that the Epcot logo planter is going to be a fountain.

I know this has probably been said 100 times but is the goal to have all walls down by end of the year?

First time we ever went to Disney World was December 2019, I have only seen Epcot with walls lol

No exact date but World Celebration should be open December 2023

Walt may have arrived. Maybe? In the box??

Walls appear to have gone up around Liquid Layer in World Discovery. Curious to see if it's just for routine refurbishment or if it'll come back with either a new look in the red color family or a design reminiscent of the pavement work happening near Mission: SPACE.

The latest aerials appear to confirm no water feature of any kind at the central planter or the old FON/Epcot logo pavement area. Most here expected as much, but it's depressing the area will be without any sort of calming water features.

The central hub project continues to feels like a monkey paw wish.

The whole EPCOT project feels like that to me. It’s like we all wanted them to fix the park until they started fixing it. I’m just grateful that the hub we’re getting isn’t the one they announced in 2019.

I think this looks great! Can't wait to see it all in person soon

Honestly!

That whole area should look stunning if Epcot does the ground Lighting correctly!

There's is a smaller Fountain going in near Showcase Plaza correct?

It’ll look lovely at night, for sure. However, It seems like the area will be lacking daytime kinetics, something the old FoN offered.

There’s no small fountain going in at Showcase Plaza.

Any chance they touch up some of the areas throughout the rest of Future World? The snack stands are being touched up a bit now, but some of the older areas (especially the GOTG/Mission/TT) area feel outdated compared to the new stuff now.

If you look at the 2019 concept art it looked as if they were intending to do more past the point if they had removed Connections & Creations buildings and continued with more trees and lighting to World Discovery side (Future World East).

Jump to the newer art and it's ignored completely..Saying "Were done with that side!"
