World Celebration food and beverage area construction - October 13 2021
Posted: Wednesday October 13, 2021 1:24pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

With Creations Shop and Club Cool now open at EPCOT, construction efforts are focused on completing the new food and beverage areas in World Celebration.

The temporary Mouse Gear location is now being gutted to be combined with the space from the former Innoventions area.

The view from the other side shows work progressing on the exterior of the Innoventions and Electric Umbrella building.

We don't yet have specifics on names for the new food and beverage offerings or where they will be located within the building.

New additions will include a quick-service restaurant to replace Electric Umbrella, a new Starbucks, and some other specialty offerings.

That's pretty sad and disappointing to see. I saw a video fairly recently and they were operational. We go in July, and was looking forward to spending a bit of time there over two weeks for some pics of it all lit up at night

I hope wdwmagic can get a better video, that sites video is constant ads and then goes into a whole different video.

I wonder if LwtL's Christmas decorations, which totally was a huge draw with queues at night hitting an hour, was a sign that if they spruced it up a bit more outside of Christmas, it would help with capacity, since it often only has a 5 minute queue.

I like improved lighting but I feel this needs to be a bit adjusted. Seems overdone but again, pictures and videos aren't going to show what it's really like. Anyways, I'm so happy to see the ride getting regular love and can't wait to see it in person.

Looks like they're going for a consistent vibe in all of their bayous.

Love this sort of stuff. A ride doesn’t need a massive overhaul all at once, iterative improvements through the years culminate to an exceptional experience over time. It reminds me of Disneyland. I honestly wish they would leave more room for improvement in new rides. A lot may never come to fruition, but if you allow for future plussing (not an excuse to cheap out) you can ultimately deliver a better product through the years.
