Disney4me Posted March 25, 2023 Report Posted March 25, 2023 Every time we ride the monorail into EPCOT, we’re reminded how far the construction progress has come in the middle of the park! EPCOT EPCOT has been in the middle of a massive transformation for several years now, and we’ve been watching it come together slowly, with additions like restaurants, rides, and shops. But this fall, the middle of the park should officially be complete, and today we have a BIG update on the construction! Let’s start things out next to Guest Relations, where a section of the park has been blocked off for several months. Most of the dirt has been moved around inside this construction zone recently, so hopefully, that means they’re making progress on getting this walkway open again! It would be a great shortcut back to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Next to Guest Relations In World Discovery, we’ve been watching the construction at Cool Wash, which has been renamed Refreshment Station. The inside has been revamped, but it looks like there’s more work to be done! The former Cool Wash As you come around the back of Spaceship Earth, you can see the progress on CommuniCore Plaza, where there seems to be a new pavilion constructed. This outdoor space will have multiple functions, and we can’t wait to see it complete! Around the back of the construction zone CommuniCore Hall is the indoor space next to the plaza, and a BUNCH of support beams have been added recently. Also, a significant amount of progress has been made on the roof of the building. CommuniCore Hall Finally, we make it to the main event…Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana! Most of the structural elements in the attraction are complete, but it seems like the Imagineers are still hard at work on the technicalities. It’s coming along! There’s still a little more landscaping to be done by the entrance and exit, but the pathways through the walking trail are all in place! Inside Journey of Water! And if you want to get up close to the attraction, you can take the NEW walkway that opened up at EPCOT recently. It’s a shortcut from Spaceship Earth to World Nature, and it comes up right alongside Journey of Water. What it looks like alongside the Moana attraction On the other side of that construction wall is a space that looks to house some essential equipment for the new attraction. It’s likely that Disney will surround this with trees to hide it from the public eye before more of the space is opened up.
