Epcot Update: Universe of Energy Pavilion Completely Gutted & More (PART 1)
It's hard to believe it, but this is the last week for the extremely popular Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. While we thoroughly enjoy the event, we look forward to a less crowded Epcot (the park was packed even during the week). While we wait for this event to end, let's take a look around the park to see what's new. We hope you'll enjoy this photo-tour!

First of all, let's take a closer look at the Guardians of the Galaxy showbuilding from the parking lot:

It's hard to really visualize the size of this building unless you see it person:

What a magnificent park icon:

Temporary lights can be spotted around the park entrance. A television special was filmed here:

The park's central plaza will look very different in the coming years:

The Guardians of the Galaxy building can even be seen from this area of the park:

We never noticed this stand before:

We are sure this will help the Coral Reef restaurant to attract more Guests:

The pavilion's sign has returned after a short refurbishment, and it looks great!:

A newer sign invites Guests to check out the Seabase even if they don't want to ride the attraction:
