News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[GlacierGlacier]

The one on the left looks like Edna from the Incredibles.

Is that Joy on the hotel sign? And not quite Sadness on the far left?

The character art (with the exception of Mickey holding the kids hand) are all from the Disney Emoji app.

Any idea what this structure is?

Yep.

 

[*Q*]

This new entrance is really quite wonderful.

 

[monothingie]

Yep.

Oh you! Thought I could pry it out of you. Haha.

 

[lentesta]

Something like that. Currently anyway.

You think there'll be demolition of the Electric Umbrella and Character Spot? In the next two years?

 

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

Something like that. Currently anyway.

Couldn't be happier with the new park entrance! What the likelihood of the concept art changing / being different from the final product?

 

[Darth Snips]

Something like that. Currently anyway.

So does the current plan involve demolishing Project Tomorrow? Or just overhauling it?

There will be a lot of changes. Quite a bit of demolition. And changes to dining in the core area.

Something new at EPCOT that isn't Marvel or some movie theme is always a step in the right direction. Glad they are fixing the fountain! Leave a Legacy was dumb.

 

[Stitch1804]

Yep.

By looking on Google Maps, that building would be pretty close to the UK pavilion...

Currently demo. There’s a reason the SSE refurb will take so long.

This is a complete spine redesign.

 

[trainplane3]

Yep.

UK ride? Shouldn't the magic eye theater be visible? Because that's missing...

I think he said something about walls going up end of this year and to get pictures of West as well.

 

[Horizons '83]

Yep.

That looks to be in the United Kingdom area no?

This thread just made me so happy at work!!

It’s been pretty much like this for over two years now (hotel notwithstanding) so I’m hoping this is about the final product.

Not to poke the bear, but I wonder where @Sirwalterraleigh and his until shovels hit they won't do it is...........

No.

 

[Horizons '83]

No.

Now I'm intrigued....

 

[ToTBellHop]

I see topiaries of Pooh, Donald & Daisy, Fantasia Mickey, and Beauty and the Beast in the entrance artwork. I wonder if those will always be there or just for Flower and Garden Festival.

“More Disney.”

Year-round.

Well once it gets to announcement time - its pretty much set in stone. With just a few exceptions over the years.
