Living Seas
Pavilion Reopens
After
going down for extensive renovations in June, the Living Seas in Epcot’s
Future World has resumed operations. Guests now enter and exit through the
former exit of the pavilion.
This dual
entrance/exit appears to be temporary,
as a portion of the pavilion is still under construction.
Upon entering visitors will find a new passage area with a gift shop to one
side. Beyond this section is the newly refurbished SeaBase. All existing
exhibits prior to the refurbishment remain unchanged and no new displays
have been added.
