The Land??

[DWSCLS]

I heard a rumor that The Land in Epcot is closed for renovations. Can anyone tell me if this is true or not? Thanks!

Yes it is so they can put soarin (a new ride) in for the celebration.

Yes it is closed. They are retheming the area with the food court. The entrance to Soarin is where you used to wait to take the Behind the Seeds tour. The Land will reopen when Soarin does. The Garden Grill will still be closed until the end of June.

I saw this on my All-Ears newsletter -

When the Land reopens this spring, the Sunshine Season Fair area will sport a new look and a slightly new name: Sunshine Seasons will be a "fast-casual" dining area that combines the convenience of a fast food counter service spot, with unusual menus more typically found at table service restaurants. The way it will work is: You'll choose your food from five different stations themed to the different seasons of the year -- you'll actually be able to watch as your food is prepared in the open kitchen area. Once you have your food, you'll check out at a centralized cashier spot. The stations are: the Wood-Fired Grill Shop (fall), with grill and rotisserie items like ancho-rubbed beef with chimichurri sauce and grilled Atlantic Salmon; the Soup and Salad Shop (spring), which will use fresh herbs and vegetables grown in the Land greenhouse; the Asian Wok Shop (summer), with a Mongolian barbecue and wok station, and menu items including Mongolian vegetable beef stir fry and vegetarian noodle bowl with tofu; the Sandwich Shop (winter) with hearty sandwiches like Black Forest ham and salami grinder, turkey muffuletta, and grilled Cuban veggie sandwich, all on artisan breads; the Bakery, with muffins, croissants, bagels, danish, desserts, and coffee. Each station will also offer vegetarian and children's options, as well as prepackaged "grab 'n' go" items.
