PHOTOS: The EPCOT Transformation Keeps Moving Forward with More Progress on Harmonious and the Entrance Pylons!

While there are some unexpected and new changes happening around Disney World, we have been thrilled to see so many projects pick construction back up now that the parks are open!

EPCOT

The pink Cinderella Castle just had its moat filled in, the Grand Floridian Walkway has continued to near its completion, and ALL the construction on EPCOT’s France Pavilion is charging full steam ahead!

While some projects have been put on pause, the EPCOT Transformation has continued to move forward with new entertainment, attractions, and more! Since Disney World’s 50th anniversary is next year, there will (hopefully) be some amazing experiences appearing soon. EPCOT’s next big nighttime spectacular will be Harmonious, complete with lasers, fireworks, dancing fountain, and HUGE floating set pieces.

While @bioreconstruct was over the parks today, we were given an aerial look at the construction on Harmonious. There are currently four barges being built for the show’s debut!

Disney World has also started to redesign the entrance to EPCOT that will be a part of the park’s transformation. Although we were able to spy the new pylons that Disney installed at the front of the park as a nod to its past decorations, the aerial view shows the area surrounding the pylons. The expanse area will also have greenery, a bigger walking area, and more when construction is completed.

The clear pylons are currently being held in position by a frame at center. The bench of the fountain is protected by sections of former resort hotel carpeting. pic.twitter.com/wf3JD4oh4F

On top of the construction on the PLAY! Pavilion in the park, we’ll continue to keep checking on the progress with the rest of the projects moving forward in Disney World!
