A closer look at EPCOT's American Adventure pavilion is now possible after bunting and signage that had been covering portions of the building's exterior were removed, exposing what appears to be damage to several columns.

The American Adventure is one of EPCOT's most recognizable landmarks, anchoring the World Showcase with its grand colonial-style architecture and the beloved Audio-Animatronic show featuring Ben Franklin and Mark Twain inside.

The removal of the decorative coverings suggests maintenance or restoration work may be underway or under evaluation, though no formal announcement regarding the scope or timeline of any repairs has been made.

Guests visiting the park should expect the area around the pavilion's exterior to look a bit different in the near term as the situation develops.
