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.

The new glue will hold it down. The only thing that would deteriorate it is some heat.

I am dreading finally seeing this with my own eyes in December. Still to this day am baffled at the post-covid changes they made, which are embarrassing at just about every single level. Man...does it make me sad and bummed out.

They have 3 choices IMO: - Redo the entire thing with a totally different lighting setup that doesn't need to have those flimsy covers (guessing they were designed to easily maintain the lighting but clearly not designed right) or go back to the fiber optics that everyone loved. - Redo the entire thing without lights at all, maybe with reflective material or something. - Put a fountain back in

I think the photos in that montage are at least 30 years old now. Correct me if I am wrong.
