EPCOT's Guest Relations to close for refurbishment as work continues on World Celebration

Mar 16, 2022 in "EPCOT"

Posted: Wednesday March 16, 2022 12:55pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

EPCOT's Guest Relations building near to Spaceship Earth will close next week as the redevelopment work in the center of the park continues.

The closure will begin on March 22 2022, with a planned reopening at the end of April 2022.

During the closure, Guest Relations will temporarily relocate to the former Gift Stop on the western side of the main entrance ticket booths. (The right side as you face Spaceship earth.)

The current Guest Relations building is surrounded by construction walls, and has so far remained largely untouched as the surroundings have all been updated.

nah its still a great theme park, but with more food options...thats not a bad thing imo. Epcot always felt like the adult park where they focused on eating drinking and ambience more than rides and thrills. But they added a few great rides over the last years so its gotten a bit better in that regard as well

The continuing evolution of Epcot from a theme park to the world’s largest food court.

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.

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.
