Overnight Epcot closed down the rest of the central spine.
Now you need to go one of two pathways to go around the spine.
The new path added now takes you around Spaceship Earth and in front of the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy’ attraction to enter the area where Mission Space and Test Track now are.
Cast Members are being stationed with signs to direct traffic on either side of Spaceship Earth.
@bioreconstruct on Twitter has some images. I highly recommend following that account as it is a fantastic resource for Disney info.

A bit thank you to all those cast members!
It’s all changing and change is inevitable, doesn’t mean we have to like it, but it might be cool when it’s done.
We were talking to our friends Lance and Lauren the other day about how Disney didn’t really keep up with Epcot and now they are practically shutting 1/2 the park down to do it all at once. It probably would have been easier to do it in phases like they do for most parks.
We will be down there for the opening day of the Flower and Garden Festival, so we will try to get you some more looks.
What do you think? Comment and let us know.
