Picture it: Scenes from Epcot eatery construction

The purpose of my walk around Epcot today was to look at the construction going on for eateries in World Showcase. It was more lovely than I imagined, despite the impending-doom-style clouds ahead.

These are not your father’s construction walls.

On the back side of the Italy pavilion is construction on the pizzeria (name TBA). We can see a crane, but most of the work is blocked by a scene of the countryside. It’s similar to when buildings along Magic Kingdom’s Main Street are getting facelifts and are covered by materials that looks just like that building’s exterior. To the left is the Tutto Italia restaurant. The pizzeria is scheduled to open later this year.

Meanwhile, over in Mexico, work continues on Cantina de San Angel, which is on the waterfront. This covering is very palm-y and has real palms fronting it. (This is coming from the Norway side.)

There’s also a green wall around part of the area, which is across from the temple (background) and near another eating option, Taqueira del Lago (left).
