I certainly hope that all of that clutter goes away! LOLDoes this mean the decorations at Future World could also be going away soon?

I feel like the tarps are supposed to go away but I really can't remember. I feel like our insiders hinted at that. I hope so. So much clutter and the "kaleidoscope" of colors doesn't work. It just looks messy and honestly unappealing. Not to mention all the overgrown planters. It's so past time for an overhaul. Though I do wish they weren't demoing buildings. But honestly, with some of them smelling so bad, you'd probably have to gut the insides ... wish they'd reuse them but I almost kind of get why they'd basically 'start over'.

You don't like "sun fade purple that's now sort of gray-blue"?

In all fairness, there have been lots of complaints over the color scheme of the buildings...

If WDW did go ahead and build an Epcot-entrance-hotel, it would have been called Shades of Grey.

@marni1971 this the truth? at face value it sounds like reimagining inovations= more festival synergy and flow.

Being discussed here:
Rumor - Is the End of Innoventions Near?
Based on what they're doing, it seems that with the Future World theme dying off, that the World Showcase theme will encroach more and more on what was Future World. Welcome to FestCOT. I feel like there’s something better, buttttt I’ll take what I can get I guess. Thanks for clarifying!

Wow, Epcot really is getting right to it with gutting WoL and the entrance construction. With the way things at the entrance are moving, I assume this means they're trying to fix some things up before SSE construction in December/January.
Anyone have any idea of how the construction will be done? By this I mean are they planning phased closure construction for the entrance/hub/SSE so that only chunks are closed off at once, or is there just going to be one giant sea of walls for a year or two?

This may have been mentioned before but why do the folks arriving by monorail need to be screened again? All Monorail Resorts have a security checkpoint. And all folks who got on the Epcot monorail from the Transportation and Ticket Center have also been screened.
Seems a little much and the lines could be shorter since the screening has already been accomplished.

Because right now the monorail exit mixes with bus and parking lot arrivals. There's been talk on this forum about a bridge being built to alleviate this issue (monorail exit changed so it drops people off past the bag check so they don't need to be checked again).

If they just switch the entrance/exit wouldn't that solve the problem. The new monorail exit (old entrance) is on the other side of the security checkpoint. And the new monorail entrance (old exit) would be outside of the security perimeter.
