That’s not where the current concrete forms even are. Also that’s not the site plan of what we’re getting.

Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot
- Thread starter Rteetz
- Start date
I'll need someone to annotate a photo to help me understand what's being referenced.
Also, there's a site plan? Source?

The first is from the original site plan when the Festival Center was still in play and is outdated. For instance, the backstage path to the pump facility will not have an additional entrance as shown there. It already runs down the opposite side of the facility, as shown in the updated plan below. And as @tparris said, the second one is nowhere near where the forms are. That shows an additional blob attached to the planter in front of Coral Reef Restaurant that would narrow the entrance. I don't think that's actually happening. Here's the plan that is accurate with regard to everything else aside from this specific area, where neither the two large palms nor the terraced walls being poured are noted:
Then... I got nothing.

Could it be for a Gate of some sorts with a planter to get backstage?

That path is supposed to get fully reverted to green space to ameliorate monorail views, but I suppose anything's possible.

It’s not too far from the entrance to Journey of Water, maybe it is stroller parking? Probably too small for that, though.

I am sure some people said the same thing about the Centorium.

Yeah, I have a bad habit about those things. I still say "Let's go to MGM" and my kids get all bent . . .

I know, I still call it “Epcot” vs this mishmash of incoherent, random concepts, fences, and liquor.
Trying to break the habit.

I’ve seen several people mention liquor/drinking at Epcot being an issue to them. Does anyone mind sharing their personal problems with this? As a “childless Disney Adult” with an annual pass I love to drink around the parks

As one of them, too - I have seen a number of groups of adults being loud, visibly intoxicated, less-than-friendly language, etc. This is especially true during Food and Wine weekends. I don't think it's "pervasive". But, it is present.

They could have also found a way to fit it into the World Showcase where it would have fit better

I think the whole idea of "drinking around the world" inevitably leads to this... 11 drinks! Maybe they should sell a "drinking around the world" package where you get a drink in each country, but they cut the alcohol content or serving size so people aren't full on drunk by the time they get to the end. I dunno. I'm a teetotaler; I don't care if people drink, but I DO care when they get dangerously sloppy or belligerent.

trust me, their drinks have already had the alcohol amount value engineered...lol It would be impossible to cut the alcohol in standard beer and wine products.
EPCOT always catered to a more mature crowd, though also offered family friendly things... Having some people over-enjoy the booze is just part of selling it and enjoying the huge profits that come with it. I have certainly enjoyed many a tipsy time in the World Showcase...
It is just part of this park... If it is bothersome, stick to the Magic Kingdom where booze is very limited...

I'm not talking about Disney maximizing their alcohol profit, I'm talking about trying to avoid over-serving and I know they can't vary the alcohol content in beer and wine, that's why I said "or serving size."
And why would I go to the Magic Kingdom instead when EPCOT is my favorite park? I'd been to DLR as a kid and liked it well enough, but going to EPCOT when I was 12 is why I love Disney parks. I honestly don't know if I'd even go to WDW if EPCOT weren't there. And obviously I go to MK as well.
Honestly, I find your response puzzling considering every other post I read of yours is complaining about something else, but you think I should just suck it up or stick to Magic Kingdom because you don't agree with MY comment.

It is definitely on theme in the World Showcase to teach science. As it was in the EPCOT Center of old.
World Showcase is teaching the science of alcohol poisoning!

I was not saying YOU should stick to the magic Kingdom...it was not a personal shot but thank you for making sure you lobbed one at me. What I am saying is that is sort of an inherent thing about the park and the fact that it gets an older demographic... Only way to avoid that is for one to stick to the parks that don't serve alcohol... I too have witnessed some bad behavior there... So I understand your concern... I also feel like the serving size to cost ration is about as high as you can make it...
