Snowcone stand. Calling it now

Speaking of which, the snack stands in general in World Nature are in dire need of a makeover. They still look like a modified blue and silver Chevy Celebrity.

The way the are bringing in a bunch of trees and seating into the core of the park, with 4 different quadrants is pretty cool. I kinda hope something like this happens at the DL/DCA esplanade because that area is a baren unshaded mess and a bunch of trees would be great imo.

They will probably what they did over in World Discovery and slap some white and green paint on the snack stands and call it a day.

They opted for the self-paying memory paver thing, where people buy a paver to customize. Eisner era at its greatest.

I agree, that area should be beautifully landscaped. Instead you get two things: The hot pavers below and the hot sun above.

Ah yes, bringing trees and seating to the core of Epcot, where it has never ever had any before! It’s a crowning achievement for THEZach and everyone who has worked on this thing. Oh wait…

I think it's an improvement over what was there but that's just imo

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

I believe the children are our future.

Almost all construction equipment has been removed from JoW, and a pair of drinking fountains has been installed by the entrance.

Any new pics?

News, updates and pictures seem to have slowed right down on this thread, is that because the construction is done and we are now just in a waiting game for news from disney?

There’s not much progress that can be seen from the monorail anymore since most of the flora is in place, blocking our view. Most updates from here out will be reliant on sporadic aerial photography.

Ah yes, hadn’t appreciated it would need staff that hadn’t yet been recruited. Including training, sounds like its still a way off

I’m not sure if there are going to be an educational component through this attraction similar to the trails over at DAK or just have cast members there to police the area.

Guess that means it won’t be open by wine and dine. Was really hoping to not have construction in Epcot for that run but seems highly unlikely

How many cast members need to be here, and how trained do they need to be though?
It's not a ride.

I think it just takes time to post for the role and then interview and assign the role, then do training (safety, crowd management, etc).

I agree the actual training shouldn't be *that* much but just to get the role assigned and posted in the scheduling takes time and they usually do that for blocks of time at a time
