I don't think we can pass complete judgement until the entire attraction is done, though what I'm seeing now leaves something to be desired. This is such low-hanging fruit in a prominent area of the park. A botancial garden connecting the front of the park and World Showcase may have been better.

When do they install the spinner attraction?

Was at Epcot yesterday and the only thing that looks more horrible then all the walls up is the lack of decorations. Except for cutouts of some characters, the entrance is lacking big time. The walkway to WS has almost nothing but cutout presents and balls with dull colors. WS and the holiday food booths look good.
To tie it back in to the current conversation, you notice the construction walls so much more with the lack of holiday decorations to take your eyes off of them.

When it's finished it will be half a decade.
HALF A DECADE to board up half your park for trees and water. Shambolic of the highest order. Probably the lowest point of any Disney theme park development.

That’s just the tricky part. What will be there will be much better, the area was so barren and stuck in 90’s Burger King aesthetic before.
But also the clear the lack of plan & cohesion makes this project seem like a consultation prize. Compare this to something as extensive & transformative as Buena Vista Street in DCA, you have to be a lil peeved that adding a park, Splash pad & some simple building remodels took this long. It is what it is though, can’t wait for the area to open.

Like they transplanted the Poly lobby fountain to the future. It doesn't fit.

I mean, it will be barricaded in by trees and only accessible from World Nature. It doesn't have to fit the aesthetic of World Celebration.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
It will be somewhere between 3 and 4 years. Sept 2019 to ??? 2023.When it's finished it will be half a decade.

Wow, there is still a long way to go!
Another year of walls in EPCOT has come and gone.
We can only hope, someday all the walls in EPCOT will be down.... Someday.

If there's a will and capital to get it done, they could have it done very quickly.

It feels like an eternity. It's painful to watch.

Totally agree. The speed they built Disneyland, WDW and EPCOT proves this.
They simply do not have the will to get it done sooner rather than later.

You know what's funny?
Eh, this actually hurts the point being made...a point I agree with.
DL was built in the 50's out of 2x4s

We can split hairs over building materials.
I think it's taking too long for them to finish whatever they are doing in EPCOT.

Yes they could have, but there's not. It's taking an insane amount of time which is not even comprehensible.
But - overstating it (more than half a decade) only distracts that there is an actual slowness, because everyone will focus on your inaccuracy.

An utter shambles.
Building materials ?!
There's no shortish of trees and water in Florida.
Good grief.

It feels out of order to have completely finished some sections of this attraction while huge portions seem so completely unfinished. Dirt, raw concrete, while even the soft goods and artificial plans have been installed...almost as if there is a rush to show some progress, any progress, while it is still a year away from it's announced opening date... Artificial plants and flowers all fade over time...It feels like they will be well worn before this park section even opens...
