Disney Removes EPCOT Imagineering Art Display Less Than a Week Into Festival

Overview

• The “Drawing on Inspiration” installation went up January 13 in the World Celebration breezeway between Club Cool and the Creations Shop.
• By January 21 the display had been taken down after parkgoers documented visible deterioration, including peeling decals, on social media.
• The floor-to-ceiling decals showcased Walt Disney Imagineering sketches for projects such as Avatar Flight of Passage, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
• Observers attribute the rapid failure to possible installation or material issues, and Disney has not stated whether the exhibit will return before the festival ends February 23.
• EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts continues through February 23 with Disney on Broadway concerts, Animation Academy, chalk art, Disney Lorcana stations, specialty food, and a Figment scavenger hunt.
