What’s That Green Wall in EPCOT, and What Is It For?

Oh, EPCOT, we love you so much, but you leave us scratching our heads, that’s for sure.

Okay, so we’re still in disbelief that the big EPCOT transformation is finally over, although we might admit that we’re a little disappointed in things that didn’t make the final cut (and we’re still waiting for CommuniCore Hall and Plaza to blow us away). So we’re used to seeing construction walls and we know there is still some work to be done (like in the Canada Pavilion, for example, as well as the construction to re-theme Test Track). But a strange green wall has now appeared in EPCOT and, well, we’re not sure about the point of this unsightly addition…

Okay, so the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is officially over, which means that we’re seeing most of the festival decorations taken down and removed. Now, this year saw a new offering during the festival by Scentsy called “Festive Fragrances.”

That display is still up, but…there’s a green wall in front of it. Now, the green wall isn’t going all around the display to block it off. No, it’s just in front of it. Is this Disney’s way of telling us NOT to look at the Festival of the Holidays decoration that hasn’t been removed yet? Please help us understand.

We don’t get it

All we can think of is that the wall “hides” this remnant of the previous festival while it becomes something new for the next festival, the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, which begins on January 17th. But it’s sort of weird that they just put up a wall that you can TOTALLY see around. Make it make sense, Disney! Is this just sort of “nothing to see here” kinda thing? WHAT IS GOING ON?

Well, maybe we’ll get an answer, or maybe we won’t, but if you visit EPCOT and see the wall, just…don’t look at it, OK? We don’t know…
