food IS a theme park
The EPCOT Transformation has been a BIG item on Disney’s to-do list for some time now.
Epcot Construction
As you might know, Future World is set to get a pretty major makeover into the new World Celebration complete with new greenery, new statues, and more! This work has been ongoing for a while and Future World is pretty crisscrossed with construction barriers right now. Well, a new permit lets us know a little bit about the progress behind the barrier!
As you’re probably aware EPCOT is in the midst of a pretty major transformation.
Epcot Entrance
The transformation includes the reworking of much of Future World, some enhancements around World Showcase, and the reimagining of the EPCOT Main Entrance. We’re super excited to see what the design of these areas will look like and now, thanks to a Walt Disney Imagineer, we have a sneak peek of the brand-new Main Entrance Fountain!
Walt Disney Imagineers are the brains behind the absolutely stunning tech and design we see in the Disney parks.

Now, Walt Disney Imagineering has a NEW President of Business Operations, Design & Delivery — meet Barbara Bouza!
