News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[Rich Brownn]

Honest question: When you're leaving World Showcase and heading back into the area of Spaceship Earth, what do you call it? I think people will be hard pressed to make the distinction among World Celebration/Nature/Discovery and just say they're in Future World.

Hey people still refer to the Magic Kingdom as Disney World (or worse Disneyland)

Well, at least we don't have to worry about them asking what time the 3 o'clock parade is. The answer is NEVER.
ETA to fix the question premise

It really doesn't matter all that much, because, even when new the only part of Future World that projected anything was Innovations. (Communicore) The rest was present and past. Horizons took a stab at it, but fell short really quickly.

The entire central spine will be World Celebration. When you leave World Showcase from any section (other than the International Gateway), you're going there. Now if you walk past Imagination or Odyssey, then you're in one of the other lands.

Here's two videos of the fountain because why not. Ones far away, the other was balanced on a crooked low light post.
Color lights go on at 2 minutes in the far video:

I so wish the rest of the park was this good.

WOW!!! This is perfect!!

I've never seen that before!! and now, they must be taking shape on the 3 sections of "Future World" by changing the name into "World Celebration", "World Nature" and "World Discovery" and "World Showcase" are here to join the 3 new neighborhoods at EPCOT for the completion of Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary celebration, since I found and see the concept art for EPCOT's transformation in D23 Expo 2019 presentation, when I want to see a sneak preview!!

And here's how it looks at the concept art for the 4 different paths of the map of EPCOT's transformation:View attachment 580598
You see? This is where it all began to see a vision of the future about a sneak peek of "World Celebration", "World Nature", "World Discovery" and "World Showcase" at EPCOT and it's all because of palm trees and plants!!! Even, that was pays tribute to all of them in EPCOT's transformation!! So, the when I saw it in my dreams, the journey has finally just begun!! And we've just begun to dream!!!

are they really building an elevator shaft up to space?

That's precisely where Space 220 is located. So obviously, they're building an elevator to transport you to the restaurant.

Remember to take the elevator, not the hydrolator. Otherwise, you'll be going to Sea Base Alpha!

Thanks to you guys picking apart the trees, I've finally noticed them. It's a bit annoying to see it unbalanced right now but I'm sure they'll get it sorted:

It’s deliberate so that it matches the lack of symmetry now in the central spine.

Great photo! Yes, it's annoying that it's unbalanced. Finger crossed it gets sorted. I would settle for them being removed and no trees but secretly hoping for the palms trees. One can dream, right?

It's a nice addition, IMO. Really goes well with the rest of the changes to the entry area. Wish the rest of the park was up to the standard of the entrance.

Looks like some of their "points of light" are burned out.

 

[Wngo905]

Is it just me or does the non-moving shot of SSE appear to show a large line of the lights not working and scattered ones also not working. I know this is the reason for test and adjust but I was manly wondering if that is what others saw too.

The line is the trunk of a palm tree?

 

[dreday3]

I'm sure the lights aren't burnt out.

But if they are, I will obsess over it. A burnt out bulb on a strand of lights is something I will just sit and focus on.

edit: Oh I see it now, the palm tree!
