New Canopy Erected in Front of the Seas Pavilion

Despite being considered one of the most neglected theme parks in Central Florida, Epcot is constantly receiving minor new additions every single month. You can notice this by checking out our constant in-park updates. Today, though, we will take a look at only a few of these new additions, all of which have been installed/added around "The Seas with Nemo & Friends" pavilion. Let's check them out:

First of all, a brand-new canopy has been installed right in front of the entrance to the pavilion:

As you can see, this has been installed for two reasons: to provide shade to cast members greeting guests (this replaces a very temporary-looking umbrella) and to allow for the installation of new signs. One will state "Stand-By Entrance," while the other will say "FASTPASS Entrance." Yep, it's like (pardon the pun) pouring water into the ocean (i.e. an absolutely useless move):

Here you are more photos of the canopy, which doesn't look that bad to us. Actually, it is not even done yet:

These walls are hiding the new sliding doors that will be the gateway to the new FASTPASS queue:

Behind the walls:

Here's a peek at the mural guests will see in the new FASTPASS queue (which is nothing spectacular):

In the waiting area for the Turtle Talk with Crush show, one of the exhibits is currently being refurbished:

Toward the exit of the pavilion, we noticed this press-a-penny machine. It looks new to us, but we are not sure. Nothing major, but still something we thought would be nice to share:

On a second thought, this may not be new. Oh well!

We will soon have a quite large, complete Epcot update. Stay tuned, and feel free to post your comments and thoughts regarding these additions to the pavilion.
