One of the last surviving EPCOT Center signs has been removed and replaced under Spaceship Earth at Gateway Gifts.

The original sign lasted through several refurbishments, including the most recent earlier in the year.

The new style sign is part of the park's makeover, and matches the other new signage that is being installed throughout what is currently Future World.

How many more can they install? All of them?

Was there last night and saw the cloaking devices installed. Nothing obvious was being done but the concrete is in bad shape. It wouldn’t surprise me if they just removed it and filled it in.

You know what would look really good in the center? Instead of a questionably designed planter arrangement, a fountain.

EPCOT Landscaping Updates Continue Across World Celebration and World Nature Ongoing landscaping work at EPCOT is bringing new Sylvester palms to World Celebration and World Nature, continuing a refresh that started at the entrance plaza. The cold-tolerant species is replacing varieties that struggled with lower temperatures, with four new palms now in place near CommuniCore Plaza, the Imagination! pavilion, and Journey of Water. https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/Epcot/news/11aug2026-epcot-landscaping-updates-continue-across-world-celebration-and-world-nature.htm

Is Disney Finally Fixing the EPCOT World Celebration Gardens Lighting Issues? Rolling planters are now blocking half of the central plaza near Spaceship Earth, with nearby walkways closed in what looks like prep work for addressing the long-troubled World Celebration Gardens lighting. The in-ground LED strips have had problems since the area opened, including sections going dark, cracked covers, and warped panels that created trip hazards - though Disney has not confirmed any work is underway. https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/Epcot/news/11aug2026-is-disney-finally-fixing-the-epcot-world-celebration-gardens-lighting-issues.htm

I didn’t mean a fountain, just a slight reimagining of what’s there.

Middle ground for Disney these days is adding more tap cons... Adding a fountain would mean more infrastructure, pump room etc... I would think they are going to skate on the Mulva planter for years to come.
