PHOTOS - Fountain of Nations, Starbucks, Club Cool and the original Character Spot now behind construction walls

Sep 09, 2019 in "EPCOT"

Fountain of Nations, Character Spot, Starbucks closures
Posted: Monday September 9, 2019 9:50am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The first round of closures are now in effect at Epcot, the first phase that will see a complete redevelopment of Future World.

Fountain of Nations is now drained and behind construction walls.

It isn't clear yet if the fountain will remain, although the new area will feature plenty of water features.

Club Cool is now closed behind the walls, but will ultimately be relocated on the other side in what is currently Innoventions East.

Character Spot is closed, with a new location setup in another part of Innoventions West.

Inside the new Character Spot, guests can continue to meet Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Mickey Mouse in-front of Epcot themed backgrounds.

Absolutely! I just meant if they were to put just one on each side like the trees! These talls were really representative of Florida's Best!

Barricades are up today preventing guests from tripping over the sections of plastic that are curling up at the corners.

I'm happily surprised, and happy if my comments about them never fixing this remain wrong comments.
