Overview
- Photographs published July 8 show removal of red, white and blue bunting and signs revealed visible damage to the tall white columns at the American Adventure pavilion in EPCOT.
- Images and on-site reporting show at least one metal sign bracket broke out of a column leaving a hole, other brackets remain lodged, adhesive lines mark contact points, and sections of paint were pulled away.
- Walt Disney World filed a Notice of Commencement the same day for “general construction” at the pavilion’s approximate address that lists Tecta America Corp./Tecta America SE as the contractor.
- Walt Disney World Resort has not publicly confirmed whether the permit is related to the photographed damage or given a timetable for repairs.
- The damage affects a prominent, historic-facing pavilion used for the American Adventure show and Voices of Liberty performances, and the permit filing suggests visible repairs to exterior columns and mounting points are likely to follow.
