Epcot Future World East Construction Walls - January 2020
Posted: Friday January 31, 2020 11:09am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

As January comes to an end, here is quick rundown of the latest changes to the construction wall maze in Epcot's Future World.

The central core of Future World is now effectively an island and walled off from all sides. 

It is no longer possible to walk straight through the center of the park alongside Mouse Gear.

Approaching from World Showcase, the construction wall has been moved forward to seal off the area.

Over at Future World East, the walkway to Guardians of the Galaxy has reopened.

Guests can now get a good look at the new paint scheme on the former Energy pavilion building that will now serve as much of the queue and boarding area for the new coaster.

More walls block off access to the former Wonders building, which is now being converted into the new Play pavilion.

At the other side of Future World East, the walkway across from the breezeway exit, past the playground and to the center of the park has reopened.

The restrooms along the walkway remain closed however.

The next phase of changes should see the walkway open by Gateway Gifts and Guest Relations leading to Future World East.

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)
