Pathway being installed in World of Celebration area of EPCOT

Installation of custom metalwork that will form a curved pathway from Dreamers Point to the center of World Celebration in EPCOT has started, Zach Riddley, Portfolio Executive, New Experience Development at Walt Disney Imagineering stated on his Instagram.

World Celebration is the future home to gardens and spaces that will “come alive throughout the seasons with our international festival program at EPCOT,” he wrote.

“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,” he wrote.

Early examples of the thematic metalwork elements can be found with the new EPCOT utility covers.
