A new entry area
And though the idea of several different themed areas of Future World is certainly interesting, one BIG upgrade that we know is coming sooner rather than later is a brand new entry area for Epcot. The removal of the Leave a Legacy stones is almost complete, and work is set to begin very soon on an updated entry area that will include expanded walkways, new garden areas, a newly reimagined fountain and a design that will pay homage to the original park entrance with fresh takes on classic elements, all of which you can see in the concept art above.
When will all this happen?
As mentioned previously, work on the entrance area is ongoing, and preparations are being made to begin demolition on the current central part of Future World. And though we don't exactly know how long these projects will take, we'd guess that Disney will want to have the "new" Future World ready in time for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, which is coming in 2021. Hopefully Disney will have a lot more information to share about the reinvention of Future World (and Epcot as a whole) this weekend at the Parks and Resorts Panel at the D23 Expo!
