The EPCOT transformation took YEARS, which meant most of us have grown pretty tired of seeing construction walls in EPCOT.
EPCOT
We were all pretty happy, though, when the last of the construction walls came down to finally open CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, signaling the end of the multi-year transformation. No more construction walls! YAY! BUT…it seems like actual construction in EPCOT isn’t over because some NEW construction walls have appeared…y’all, it never ends.
Yes, just when we thought all the construction in EPCOT was over, we noticed NEW construction walls in World Showcase. The Canada Pavilion has had construction walls off and on for a little while now, but the construction walls were gone, but now they’re back. Yep, there are still construction walls in EPCOT.
Construction walls are back up
Now, we’re not sure what kind of work is going on behind those walls, although it’s probably just Disney doing some sprucing up of the Canada Pavilion. This will still happen from time to time, so construction walls won’t ever truly be gone from EPCOT, but wouldn’t we all love to see an EPCOT without any construction for at least a few months? Wouldn’t that be nice?

Of course, the entirety of Disney World will always be a work in progress, as Walt originally intended, and we’re likely to start seeing even more construction happening in other parks soon, including Magic Kingdom, which is getting a huge new expansion (although we have no idea when that project will begin). There will also be construction walls going up around Disney Animal Kingdom’s DinoLand, U.S.A., as that land gets a Tropical Americas re-theme.
@Disney
So, basically, what we’re saying is that there will always be construction happening in Disney World, but that’s okay because it means that Disney is keeping everything looking good and always giving us new things to look forward to. So let’s look at those construction walls as something positive because when they do finally come down, it will — hopefully — have been worth it.
