No joke! Why take someone so kind and put them in a position to have their ideas shot down and dreams crushed! A corporate Yes Man/Woman would be much more suited to filling the role at this point in time.

I'm more shocked that there has been someone in charge of Epcot for the past decade?!? Hasn't it just been run by a committee of hyperactive 8 year old kids and roving bands of drunkards?

Attended a wedding in the rotunda in American Adventure. Spent something like 4-5 hours there, drinking while enjoying a Brazilian drumline and carnival dancers. Good times.

I choose Bran the Broken. As Spaceship Earth will soon tell us, the importance of story is paramount, and who has a better story than Bran the Broken?

Tentatively not terrified at the prospect of updating the ride post-Industrial Revolution. That kind of implies that the ride, in nature and concept, may not be killed by inserting <current fad character> into it to make it "more Disney".

<internal monolog> Well, it's been months and months since I logged onto WDWMagic, I'm going to be at WDW in a few days. Let me pop in and see what new news and updates there are on the parks. Maybe all my anger at the upcoming changes to Epcot will have faded. </internal monolog> (clicks on...

Or if you are modern Disney, I guess you could just add themed topiaries and call it a day.

Cheap, (not really a) joke answer there, I know. 1 thing I’d change is I would bring it’s theme back to undersea exploration. I’d want the entire pavilion adhere to that theme. I’d want people walking out not to think “well, that was a subpar aquarium”, but to dream about someday exploring...

Everything.

Just when I thought Epcot was boring enough already, they double down. More boring. Ugh.

Welp, if I wanted to get into Trader Sams on my upcoming short trip, it seems getting in before the 5th is required, because after it'll be a pain.

You've never wondered what is in the super expensive "crab cakes" that they serve at food and wine?

As has been said before, given the photos that are in the photo gallery, I believe I own copies of all of them in some of the various Epcot Center books, minus the new concept art. Looks like they're not even selling any unique merchandise, which is odd because it seems to be the place where...
