EPCOT’s World Discovery Playground Undergoes Expansion and Safety Upgrades

Overview

• New on-site photos published Feb. 18 by BlogMickey reveal active work behind rolling shrubs and caution tape.
• The play area’s footprint has been enlarged, with a new low wall now defining the perimeter.
• Crews are replacing the surface with weatherproof, padded flooring intended to improve safety for young guests.
• New shade umbrellas have been added to increase sun protection and help keep equipment cooler.
• The playground remains closed after last month’s shutdown, so families must use other rest areas elsewhere in EPCOT.
