Epcot Imagineer Shares Construction Progress around World Celebration

Epcot Imagineer Shares Construction Progress around World Celebration. Disney Imagineer, Zach Riddley, shared some of the progress being made “across the expanse of World Celebration”. Zach gave some insight into the metal work that is going in Dreamers Point to the center of World Celebration.

Progress continues across the expanse of World Celebration – future home to amazing gardens and spaces that will come alive throughout the seasons with our international festival program at EPCOT. Seeing details go in – and the hard work of the team behind all this – is truly one of those cool moments that stick with you.

We’ve started the installation of our custom metalwork that will form a gracefully curved pathway from Dreamers Point to the center of World Celebration. You may have seen early examples of our thematic metalwork elements with the new EPCOT utility covers – eagle-eyed fans can likely spot more than one of these throughout our new park neighborhoods.

These walkway elements will include metal panels of weathered steel, aka corten steel, which will cure to form a rich orange-hued patina – providing a distinctive color and a protective corrosion barrier to the solid cast metal panels. These panels will also serve as protective grating for a large allée of trees that will follow the architectural curvature of the Connections Café and Eatery and Creations shop facades. I just love seeing these materials and textures coming together – but honestly you had me at “custom foundry.”
