Blocked off awning in UK pavilion

[WaltDisneyGirl84]

I can’t figure out where to ask this so I’ll do it here. Recently at Epcot, I wandered way into the back of the UK pavilion and off to the back right corner, is an awning with fans and lights and I’m wondering what the heck this is? I couldn’t figure out if it was a closed shop/etc by searching the interwebs. Anyone know what this was/is? Maybe just a cast exit/entrance? My curiosity is getting the better of me. I didn’t snap a pic. Sorry!

This was the entrance to the Winnie the Pooh Meet & Greet that closed years ago. There was the short term announcement then ignoring a Mary Poppins "attraction" there ... never a promise of a ride although many imaginations came up with one.

To build something back there would involve substantial construction.

We did see that too a couple weeks ago - I peeked in and saw NO real evidence of anything happening. It could be they are using the space for some filming as the Meet & Greet was a cute boys bedroom.

It was Christopher Robin's bedroom where you could meet Pooh.

I miss that Meet and Greet

There were rumors at one point of Merida moving into the pavilion once mirabel evicts her at MK

It was a really fun M&G. Probably one of the best at WDW.
