Photos: Here’s what’s behind all of that Epcot construction fencing

A big sign should be placed underneath the Epcot logo – “This Area is Being Refurbished for Your Future Enjoyment.” The theme park, as we know, is going through a major overhaul and that means covered construction fences throughout the park.

The changes at the park are expected to take place for another few years as parts of the park are demolished to make way for new pavilions and attractions. (See the the full list here.) Disney has even created a special exhibit giving all an idea of what’s to come.

The changes even included a new tram stop and security entrance.

But what exactly is happening behind those fences inside the park? Well, if you ride the monorail you will get a first-hand look at what’s going, such as the demolition of the large Fountain of Nations or the area on the side of Mouse Gear.

So, let’s take a spin and around the monorail and see what we can find.
