PHOTOS: More Shade Coming to EPCOT with New World Celebration Flex Space

Work on the World Celebration flex space has continued, with signs that a shaded area is on the way.

World Celebration Flex Space Construction

A brightly colored flower garden with geometric designs and vibrant pathways, bordered by a walking path where people are strolling. Trees and structures are visible in the background under a clear blue sky. Flex space construction behind construction walls.

The flex space, which is located next to the Imagination! Pavilion, seemed nearly complete just a few days ago, but recent construction has added support poles for what will likely be a shaded covering.

Many people are walking on a pathway beside a flex space construction site with fenced-off areas and building materials. Several vertical columns are in progress, and various landscaping is in the vicinity.

Seven unfinished poles have gone up, with roofing likely to follow. There is still landscaping yet to be added in the area. The space previously housed a playground.

A construction site surrounded by walls is at the center of a theme park, with visitors walking along pathways nearby. A partially built flex space structure with pillars is visible within the site.

The flex space partially opened for the 2024 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival with the opening of the Florida Fresh booth. The booth is just to the right of the still-closed construction area.

New Mural and Wait Time Sign Added Outside of E.T. Adventure at Universal Studios Florida

There’s a new mural in progress and a newly added wait time sign outside of E.T. Adventure at Universal Studios Florida.

E.T. Adventure Updates

Sign for "E.T. Adventure" featuring a silhouette of a bicycle with two riders flying past a large moon, set against a clear blue sky and trees in the background.

Framing for a wait time sign has been added to the new E.T. Adventure sign at Universal Studios Florida. The sign was installed after a brief refurbishment earlier this May.

Building exterior with a mural featuring a silhouette of trees against a sunset sky with a prominent sun. The building has three dark entrances below the mural and a pathway with shadows in the foreground.

Just to the right of the attraction sign, the former KidZone restrooms have been given an “E.T.” makeover, with a mural that mirrors the theming of the sign.

A building facade features a mural of a forest with a setting sun against an orange and pink sky. Nearby, there is an inset wall with a metal dispenser and tiled surface.

The mural features a sunset over a forest. We could soon see the addition of kids on bicycles flying past the sun, recreating the iconic scene in the 1982 film.

A wall painted with blue and pink trees. The word "ROOMS" is faintly visible on the wall.

The “Restrooms” lettering that existed before the retheming can still be seen through the paint. A new restroom sign will likely go up once the mural is complete.

What do you think of the addition of the “E.T.” mural? Let us know in the comments below.
