EPCOT Future World West and East demolition - December 3 2020
Posted: Friday December 4, 2020 9:20am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Large sections of the exterior walls of the former Innoventions West have been removed showing a completely gutted interior.

With the south west section already removed, we expect this north west section to also be totally demolished to make way for the Moana-themed garden area.

Over on the east side, all that remains is the skeleton of the buildings, with the interior fully removed.

These buildings will remain stranding, and will contain retail, and food & beverage locations.

One would assume it’s a mishmash of things that sell really well (ie highest prices/margins) from the 345 days a year of festivals I’m not in love with it…but it’s also not the worst idea ever If they’re smart…big If…they rotate it seasonally to not cross with the festival booths…it’s a good idea. If it’s set stuff and they just push volume…not so much.

I’m hoping that they have the empanada that the Encanto booth has during Festival of the Arts. That is one of my favorite festival foods!

I hope none of the VPs have heard of this thus far!!

Can't wait until all the VPs come strolling through and realize what a stupid idea it was to knock down West Communicore and the fountain in the first place.

I think it'll do well. With the sitting areas, some shade and chargers, people will probably want to grab a bite and a drink while there.

Idea A+... Execution of the space... hmmm.... I do think this would be an amazing use for Odyssey.

To each their own.

It’s a constant bombardment of festival food. Sometimes enough is enough

I had heard they’ll have some Colombian food along with the Encanto show this summer. Perhaps it’ll go here.

That's actually a great idea. There are often festival foods that I see people rave about that we never get to try because we don't go during those times. Will be fun to try out some festival foods that we normally wouldn't be able to get.
