World Celebration construction at EPCOT

World Celebration Construction - March 19 2021
Posted: Monday March 22, 2021 8:39am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Work continues at EPCOT on reworking the former Innoventions East and Mouse Gear into the new center of the upcoming World Celebration.


Crews continue with installing new angled glass panels on the exterior of the new merchandise location.

A lot of work is also taking place on the roof, which looks to have new coverings.

The breezeway has seen a lot of work, with new ceilings and glass panels on either side.


The former Electric Umbrella area will become home to new food and beverage location including a Starbucks, quick serve and Coca Cola.


No word yet on when we can expect any of this to open, but we understand there is a priority on reopening the merchandise location as soon as possible.

Now Epcot has the Disney Spring's Board President.

Can’t be much worse than the fiasco that’s there now.

I sincerely hope not. It would dig up a lot of bad memories for me.

What are the odds construction walls go up in this area within the next year?

Just fill them in with concrete already. So dumb

Seriously. They put all this nice soft lighting and music loop in the new hub, but then put a dj playing 2000s club hits with harsh lights next to it. I blame the morons who spend their time watching the dj instead of exploring world showcase. Paying all that money for an experience they could get for free at Disney springs. Or a local bowling alley

"Lighting Lane". Genius!

If they are going to put up stanchions to block off the planter area, they may as well put up construction walls to build a nice little fountain in this area instead. If they start now, they could have it finished by EPCOT’s 50th in 2032.

What a sad failure. I really want to hope all the future projects do not go this way and this was just because they were rushing to open something, anything.

Pretty soon, you'll need a Lightning Lane pass to see the lights.
