Epcot Future World West Demolition and Construction Walls - December 2019
Posted: Tuesday November 26, 2019 10:58am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Demolition at the center of Epcot has now reached the core of Communicore West.

The Fountain View building, most recently home to Starbucks, has been completely removed, exposing the shell of the Character Spot interior.

At the rear of the building, more walls are up ahead of continued demolition work.

The conclusion of Food and Wine Festival allows a widening of the demolition area and more construction walls.

Elsewhere in Future World West, machinery is moving earth between The Land and Imagination.

I know, which is why I want to know why they aren't now. lol It's like the designers have never been in a crowded, public place.

You'll have to wait for the book release at D23 and buy it.

Well, at least, here, it's a contrasting color. The problem with the one by Connections and the replacement here is white on white making it less noticeable.

Yep but people will complain regardless lol

No worries and I recognize only a subset will be bothered by it. This is the kind of stuff we pick apart every day at my firm. Lol. I still think there’s better ways to execute those two items than they did here, but I’m not losing sleep over it.

Is there a reason the lights couldn't have gone along the outside walls instead of literally in the middle of the walkway??

The light is a direct replacement including having a base:

That would work. Also have the base have its own lighting would help. Or, extending the diameter of the base up to eye height. Or, surrounding the pole with a circular table at bar-height for eating or drinking.
