ORLANDO, Fla. — Disney World is set to begin renovations on Epcot's new entrance.

  • Permit filed for renovation work at Epcot
  • Disney shared more details about the plans last month
  • Epcot to get redesigned entrance, new pathways, and more

A permit filed Monday for "Project G: 200D-1" calls for work on the park's north pathways as well as "sitework, demo, hardscape, [and] landscaping."

Just last month, Disney shared more details about its transformation plans for Epcot, which include a redesigned entrance with new pathways, green spaces, and a redesign for the fountain. The new entrance will pay homage to the park's original entrance.

The entrance's redesign also will call for the removal of the Leave a Legacy monoliths. The structures will be moved to an area just outside the park's entrance.

Multiple projects are currently underway at Epcot. A Guardians of the Galaxy coaster and a Ratatouille-themed ride are set to open in time for Disney World's 50th anniversary celebration.
