World Celebration to World Nature walkway
Posted: Wednesday March 22, 2023 12:10pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has taken another small step toward completing the center of EPCOT by opening a new walkway between World Celebration and World Nature.

The walkway runs alongside Journey of Water Inspired by Moana, and gives guests a quick route from Spaceship Earth to the Living Seas area.




The new path gives guests more routes through the park and will help with crowding during the busy opening and closing at EPCOT.

When you put it that way, it does sound rather remarkable! Conversation piece landscaping, perhaps?

If you think vaginal planters are absolutely remarkable, god bless.

Then what would have counted as an amazing, creative change when designing an area that can serve for rest and decompression but also provide some space for booths or possibly other things during festivals? If you think anything short of the architectural equivalent of a unicorn dancing into a starburst is not creative enough for that kind of space, I don't think you would have liked the original EPCOT Center which had a very contemporary 1980s vibe.

Personally, I like amazing, creative change and hate terrible change. This is all terrible change.

This is basically how I feel, and I am one of those who gets annoyed when fonts don't look exactly period appropriate! I know the little details matter in terms of theme parks, but this one seems like a "pick your battles" case. It's fine, serves a purpose, and more or less fades into the background. Must say I am mystified to see people nostalgic for the horrible central spine shade structure. Complaining about this and lamenting that being torn down that suggests an aversion to change more than anything.

Look's like Telletubbies 🌱🤣 Kind of ironic the first thing they did was remove the canopy and now the last thing is install the canopy. 😶 Seeing that flex space behind walls I couldn't imagine what they'd do there.. Looks like it's back to some sort of playground area as maybe before it was.

I liked the canopies there, they actually provided a little shade. The canopies directed upwards like they are currently hung won't do much.

That looks like a very poor design/execution. It doesn't look like it would provide much shade. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now reimagine those to look like the green army men parachutes, and put them up in Toy Story Land…

Any news on the Epcot Dedication Plaque up front? Or is their any word if it will be put inside the plaza rather than outside the entryway??

This is true, admittedly I’m just having a bit of fun.

Bigger fish to fry then complain about a flex space...
