Overview
- Disney drained the reflecting pool at EPCOT’s Imagination! pavilion for maintenance and refilled it on Friday, July 24, 2026, after crews cleaned and repainted the surface.
- During the work staff removed coins guests had tossed into the pool and replaced the dark rock trim before adding water again.
- Disney routinely collects coins from park water features and donates the proceeds to charities such as Give Kids The World Village.
- The entrance fountain at EPCOT remained inactive for several days around the same time, which observers say may indicate similar coin-collection maintenance there.
- The restored pool matters to visitors because it is an opening-day 1982 feature that survives despite decades of larger EPCOT changes and offers a tangible link between the park’s past and present.
