Epcot still a mess?

[LCoulter]

Is Epcot still a mess with construction walls that break up Future World? It was a mess there this past April. If so, do you think it will still be a mess for the October 1 celebration?

Yes and yes

 

[ArielRae]

I agree, Yes and Yes

It's depressing at EPCOT right now, IMO. The mess in Future World makes it miserable to be in that section, and the ugly, hulking black barges in the middle of the lake in World Showcase are hideous.

Ride the Monorail over from TTC and the answer is very obvious!!!!lol

It is anticipated that the Future World refurb will have the Epcot main entrance rerouted for another year. We’re guessing it may be finished in time for Epcot’s 40th anniversary on Oct 1, 2022.

It was still a mess as of 8/20 and I cannot imagine that it gets significantly better in a month.

As others have said, it will continue to be a mess for quite a while to come.

Completely agree. The black barges are such an eye sore.

Ugh, thanks, Epcot is so sad now.

Yes yes yes! At Disney world now and disappointing that there are still boards up everywhere. They have a lot to do between now and 50th Celebration

I do not believe the walls will be down in time for the 50th. Maybe by the time the 50th ends (18 months).. but def not before

The way they do things at WDW- maybe they'll be down for the 75th?

Sooooo....seems the answer is yes? just making sure.

Maybe in the very very beginning planning stages of the construction, but even before Covid, the goal wasn't to have Epcot done before the 50th.

We were at WDW in May and Epcot which “was“ my favorite Disney park was sad. I have no interest in going back for the next two to three years,

Judging from the no expense spared fastpass to LL signs i expect great things......

Yeah, it’s tough to visit. They neglected to update any of Future World for years.

On a people watching note, it’s fun to stand and the dead end behind Spaceship Earth to see people go back there only to get lost. I’ve even seen Disney post cast members back there to point people in the right direction.

I agree it's depressing - I'll be there next week and I'm considering not even visiting Epcot except I'd like to do a little food and wine. and I've never seen Epcot Forever. If it weren't for those two things I wouldn't even be considering it. Sad really. My faves are a tie - MK and AK.
