Epcot Update | Epcot Overhaul | OurThemeParkLife

Here is a look inside Epcot behind the construction walls. Here is what we know so far The entrance plaza will get a transformation, replacing the tombstone-like "Leave a Legacy" courtyard with a piazza reminiscent of the park's original 1982 plaza, including an updated version of the original fountain in front of Spaceship Earth. World Showcase will remain mostly intact, but Future World has now been split into three separate "lands," with Future World East being known as World Discovery, the central spine area becoming World Celebration, and Future World West now known as World Nature. As was expected in 2016, the central 'spine,' now known as World Celebration, will be radically altered with the west side buildings being completely demolished. On the east side, Mouse Gears, the park's primary gift shop, and Electric Umbrella, a child-friendly fast-food restaurant near the park's entrance, will both be remodeled, and possibly renamed, but their current locations will remain. The 1980s-designed business-park-inspired current version of Future World will make way for a lush, park-like central corridor. Spaceship Earth's storyline will shift from one focused on technology to that of stories that unite humanity from our earliest times through today. A "story light" will link the attraction to a nearby Dreamer's Point where guests exit. #Epcot #OurThemeParkLife #Lifesonebigride
