Over the past few months, we’ve watched the evolution of the new flex space near EPCOT’s Imagination! pavilion. Most recently, MickeyBlog reporters spotted a new series of poles installed throughout the area.

At the time, we speculated that the poles may be intended to support a shade structure. However, a recent visit to EPCOT indicates that Disney could have other plans in mind.

New Festival Booth and Lighting

We’ve speculated for a while now that the new flex space near the Imagination! pavilion would house some much-needed festival seating. This week, our team spotted a new festival booth in the area, lending more credibility to that theory.

The stone structure sports a blue and white sign that reads “Wine & Wedge.”

If that sounds familiar, that’s because it is!
Last year, Wine & Wedge was a new addition to EPCOT’s 2023 Food & Wine Festival. The booth was located near Disney Traders and offered a variety of wines and cheese dishes.

Now, it appears that the booth has been relocated to the new flex space just ahead of the park’s 2024 Food & Wine Festival, which begins in EPCOT on August 29th.
Of course, the Wine & Wedge booth isn’t the only recent change in the flex space.

Construction crews also have installed string lights and artificial turf, which gives the area a lush green look.
You may also note the blue fans attached to the poles, indicating that this may be an ideal space for cooling off.
