EPCOT temporary bypass construction - January 2024
Posted: Tuesday January 23, 2024 10:35am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The temporary backstage walkway that has been in operation at EPCOT for the last couple of years is now being walled off behind construction walls.

Construction walls have been added at the former entry and exit to the former bypass in the main entrance area and alongside Spaceship Earth.


On the side near the restrooms, new concrete is being installed on the walkway.

The bypass served as one of the main ways in and out of EPCOT as work was underway on the park's center, which has now opened as World Celebration Gardens.

It was always showcased in the concept art as for Festival of The Arts...

It’s temporary but it looks well-done. What comes next is the bigger question.

Finally, this space has something worthwhile to see! Up to this point, this inside space has been an embarrassment of sorts.

Isn't it ironic that now "We've Just Begun to Dream" 🎶 not about the future of possibilities in 1982 but instead to Dream about how Epcot once was!

A beautiful tribute. RIP the “real” EPCOT.

... Better. Pumba is nightmare fuel, though.

An Arts festival would have been an ideal time to cover the walls in tapestries...

I dunno, seemed to work well for the Disneyland Haunted Mansion gift shop, lol. (no retort needed as this comment is in jest)
