Welcome, welcome, welcome to a great EPCOT update!
This week we've got so many news that we had to divide this update into two parts! It's rare for our updates to be divided in two parts (unless it's a Magic Kingdom update, where there's always a lot of new stuff).
Let's start right away, without losing any second!
It was a magnificent day here, at EPCOT!:
Here you are the new banners that are now all over the entrance:
But don't worry, they look great!!:
A High-resolution pictures of the new banners:

I love EPCOT also for the fantastic flowers they have!!:
Something here has been missing too long now... :
When will they get rid of the other "Leave a Legacy" painting?:

The Whirlygigs are going away!! Finally:
While they remove those, they're also repaving the pathway:

Why they are removing Whirlygig?? they are Funny!!!
They will be replaced with something else???
No, Bigfoots, they're just being removed. In their place there will be a nice, larger pathway :-)
I'm happy they are removing them, since they look very tacky, and certainly not EPCOT Center-like.
I think the whirlygigs kinda fit the original theme of Innoventions. I guess they're worth removing now.
I agree. The whirleygigs (funny, I used this exact word before reading this article and hadn't ever heard it used before by anyone else.....) are tacky and take away from the aesthetically pleasing architecture of Future World.
Now if we can only do something about that checkerboard/tarp/trapeeze "thing"
