Posted: Monday October 4, 2021 9:14am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The new EPCOT guidemap released on October 1 at the start of Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary shows the new neighborhoods of EPCOT as the park continues its redevelopment.


In place of Future World, the new map shows the neighborhoods of World Celebration, World Discovery and World Nature. World Showcase remains as before.

Interestingly, the map continues to show the previously announced PLAY! pavilion in World Discovery. PLAY! received no mentions during the recent media updates, despite the adjacent Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind being confirmed to open in 2022.

I am aware of that risk, especially these days.

I would expect it will look very different when SSE gets it's rumored big refurbishment.

Don't give them any ideas or they'll turn it into a gift shop

Does Project Tomorrow really serve any function anymore? then again, the park does have enough wasted space as it is.

When Flower and Garden was being prepared, i remember that they had to cover entire beds of flowers to try and protect them. Any of the tropical plants were at high risk (just look at what happened at the Polynesian).

Yes, that is most likely the case. Even the brand new palm trees they installed last year flanking the front of SSE are completely trimmed and somewhat dead looking.

I wonder if some of the bushes they removed were ones that froze over the winter? Central Florida did get significant freezing days this past winter?

They also seem to have removed a tree/bushes that were in this planter previously.

They removed all trees from both Project Tomorrow exits, and they’re now starting to redo the panels there.
