  • Here is the latest construction update over at EPCOT, filmed on August 26th 2023. More of those poles/pilings are being added in the World Showcase Lagoon for the new fireworks show coming to the park. The work over in the Communicore Hall/Plaza area has slowed down, at least it looks that way lol. Some new theming was added right outside the entrance to the Moana Journey of Water walkthrough. I’d say they look like fake tiki torches, which I’m sure will also be lit up in some way at night.

    I finally got to see the Canada 360 show that day I saw you.
    I guess I haven’t been missing much lol.
    I really can’t wait to see how much of this is finished when I come back In November. I would assume Moana will be open.
    I’m just hoping the lagoon doesn’t become an eyesore again. It was nice to be able to see across without those sill globes.

      @4KWDW  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha yea, that show isn’t as good as it used to be! Moana should be open when you return in November. The lagoon views should still remain, these poles are going to be driven into the ground! The barges they built backstage have motors and literally look like boats lol, so they will be transported back and forth each day it seems. Thank you as always my friend!

      The Original "O Canada" 360 film was far superior to "Canada Far and Wide."
      Disney used two of Canada's most talented comedic actors - Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy in this most recent film, and then chose NOT to allow them to be funny.
      That's a real shame.

    😪Oh, EPCOT, what you have put up with. I'm disappointed how the poles sticking up will affect the Friendship boats but at least you can see past them. Also, there were arial pics of of mechanisms that will be ridden into the lagoon like for Illuminations. 🔥Faux torches like at DL, sure! 🔥Our chariot in the sky makes me wonder about the stage for NYE, so will cancel & wait. 🙄Have you seen how far Universal has gotten doing a whole park & one building is problematic here?? oh well, here's to a productive/motivated week for all!😛💜

      If you are talking about the tall poles in WS Lagoon, they will be driven into the ground eventually, so you don't have to worry about views.

      @@triton6127 Thanks, good info to know. Let me rephrase then, I hope the poles being driven down will allow for the closed station of the Friendship boats to reopen. (Or they're just being cheap🤷‍♀)

    • @4KWDW
      @4KWDW  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yea, at this point I don’t think that Germany Friendship boat station will ever open again 😂 And yes, I saw the smaller barges that were built look/act like boats lol. What a substantially better idea compared to those Harmonious barges. Universal definitely has ppl working 24/7 on Epic universe, at least it looks that way! Thanks so much as always Liz😊

    I really hope some of these projects get done and the walls come down. It was depressing walking around those area and it seemed to get worst from my trip last year. Don’t get me wrong. I like change, I also like completion…

  • @gerryevans5899

    It becomes clearer by the day, that as the "New Epcot" refurbishment moves along, "Journey into Imagination with Figment" has been left in the dust.
    It will always be Epcot's "neglected middle child"....
    I understand that construction takes time on Communicore Hall.
    I do NOT understand, however, why it is taking so ridiculously long to plant some trees and gardens in the "Epcot Crater" next to Connections.
    In that section of the construction project, they are clearly dragging their feet.
    My guess is that they want the gardens and Walt's statue to be the final piece of the Epcot Project. But still. Surely they could knock down a few construction walls and open up some of that area by now.
    Thanks for sharing this superb video and listening to my angst. 😉

    Meanwhile, Universal is building a new theme park, multiple hotels and the infrastructure to support them; all of which will be operational in 2025. Disney's slow-paced construction is mind-boggling!

    I've figured out why Disney is dragging their feet on finishing Communicore Plaza - they love your channel and want to keep providing you with construction content! Ha! At least they seem to be moving on Tiana's ride but the work pace at Epcot is ridiculous. Fingers crossed it's done before my next trip! In 2025!! :-) Thanks as always!

      Hahaha wouldn’t that be something 😂 I honestly enjoy filming these updates, but even I’m excited for this to end lol. No worries though, Dinoland USA at Animal Kingdom will be completely destroyed at some point probably so my construction filming services will still be needed elsewhere haha. Thanks so much my friend 😃

      The walls over at Moana were removed earlier this morning, so at least some walls are gone! I don’t believe that Communicore Plaza Stage will have seating to my knowledge, but maybe I’m wrong. It’s kind of going to be like that stage that was added to the Fountain of Nations back in the day. Thank you as always Rick!

    Thanks for the update.
    I like the way you provided views from various points.
    RE: Fireworks Show Preparations
    While those pipes look so much better than the barges, its a shame they can't just do like they did with Illuminations and haul them out in the late afternoon.
    One of the attractions of Epcot is its spread-out beauty. Anything that mars the views across the lake is unfortunate.
    But then, it is unfortunate they got rid of Illuminations in the first place. It was timeless and provided original and good music.

    • @4KWDW
      @4KWDW  ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s always my pleasure Ken! Those pipes will be drilled into the ground so they won’t be sticking up like that permanently thankfully. Disney has actually built brand new smaller barges backstage, and they will be moved in and out daily like with Illuminations! Thanks so much for always watching😃
