Well, Mr. Merf decided to have a day out, doing what all obsessive Disney-lovers do - taking pictures of refurbishment walls!
Our first wall spotted - under the guise of taking a picture of a cute bunny (Hi Mr. bunny! Yes.. he/she is in the pic..) was over near Test Track. The planeters have all sorts of walls taking up lots of space and even the occasional box around the walkways in Future World East.
Next up, the grand demolition of Ice Station Cool as seen from the closed-after-1pm Fountainview Cafe:
Note the Dasani bottle on the trashcan - us obsessive compulsive types gotta keep hydrated! Which brings us on a sentimental journey to the Living Seas:
Considering that pretty entrance mural may not be there in a month, I figured I'd enjoy it for just a bit longer. Progress is a good thing though, no tears, just happy memories
The Rest of Future World west qualifies as a bit of a mess... First off, there's a temporary stage set-up just outside the breezeway on the lefthand side (toward imagination - used for garden exhibits during Flower/Garden festival) for the new CyberGroove Band to use. Doesn't Future World West have a stage? Umm, not any more.. The Magic Music Days stage set up along the rear of Innoventions West's exhibition hall (same building as Ice Station and Fountainview) has been closed off and rehab walls are up. The only tell-tale sign of the stage are the lighting rigs.
Also in the West - Imagination has become Wall-Land. The entire upper tier is pretty much walls. From the exit of HISTA to the railing overlooking the monorail and fountains.
Also in Future World West is this bizarre tree with a face - how long has this been there? (Poor lighting, dark dreary rainy Epcot day)
