    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I know it’s been said before, but with no decline in demand and increasing ticket prices every year—I’m not sure Disney execs feel the pressure to invest a penny more than necessary. So, after GotG I wouldn’t expect any more e-ticket rides at Epcot, and certainly not in World Showcase (as...

    News Future World confirmed to be split into 3 neighborhoods

    Well said. Here’s the question: Would you rather have a straight-up reboot of EPCOT with a completely new theme, design, and focus? OR Would you rather have a covert reboot of EPCOT that retains nostalgic touches like icons, logos, entrance fountain, etc? FWIW, I appreciate the touches of...

    News Future World confirmed to be split into 3 neighborhoods

    Overall, I applaud what they’ve decided to do with Epcot. While Future World is officially dead (and let’s be honest, it’s been dead for years), the essence of Epcot remains. As a permanent world’s fair, the park was always meant to be focused on human innovation (future world), and civilization...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    Figment will have some presence in the new Epcot, that much is certain. They wouldn’t bring back the icons, the entrance plaza fountain, and the logo only to dump Figment. All of this is fan-service to keep the Epcot loyalists happy even as Disney abandons the park’s original vision. I suspect...

    Rumor Brazil (and maybe others) Pavilion Coming to Epcot [not about Brazilian people nor a country wish list]

    Based on Epcot being "More Disney" and "More Family," we know any new country in World Showcase must have an IP connection. In my view, that rules out Brazil. Here's what we know regarding countries and IP: DONE/CONFIRMED: Norway - Frozen France - Ratatouille Britain - Mary Poppins VERY...

    Rumor Brazil (and maybe others) Pavilion Coming to Epcot [not about Brazilian people nor a country wish list]

    I’ll give the Disney executives credit... they’re very savvy with how they are rolling out the changes to Epcot. I’m disappointed we didn’t learn more at D23, but I understand why. They are appeasing the fan base with superficial nostalgia (logos, Epcot Forever, entrance plaza and fountain)...

    News New Epcot logo

    I’ll give the Disney executives credit... they’re very savvy with how they are rolling out the changes to Epcot. They are appeasing the fan base with superficial nostalgia (logos, Epcot Forever, entrance plaza and fountain), while simultaneously dismantling half of the original Epcot’s purpose...

    Rumor Brazil (and maybe others) Pavilion Coming to Epcot [not about Brazilian people nor a country wish list]

    I’ve never understood the case for a Brazil pavilion. Anything new added to Epcot should have a Disney IP connection, and Brazil doesn’t. (Even the new water feature is themed to Moana.) I always thought India would be a much better addition to World Showcase with a Jungle Book attraction...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Ugh... I’m grateful for the new investments in Epcot, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE start the redesign of Future World. Once SWGE is done, for the first time in years WDW won’t have any large scale new lands in development. (New Fantasyland, Pandora, Toy Story Land, Gaxaxy’s Edge). It’s time to...

    News Exploratory geotechnical borings for new Epcot retention pond suggest new projects are in the works

    Very interesting... There is a canal that runs north-south behind the Imagination and the Land pavilions separating Future World from the Yacht & Beach Club resorts to the west. If a new resort was added to the land NW of Epcot there would be no need to change the canal. However, if the resort...

    What do you think of the EPCOT Central Spine redesign?

    I wonder if they have something like this planned for the odd circular building at the south end of FW with the 'flying triangles' emerging from it: The video shows lights descending from the ceiling, but couldn't this be reversed to have elements rising up from the ground/building? Some...

    What do you think of the EPCOT Central Spine redesign?

    The "blue sky" art is nice, but I would rather know the guiding vision or narrative that will direct the renovation of Future World. What will it be called? What will unite this section of Epcot? What continuity or discontinuity will there be with the original vision of FW? Personally, I have...

    Possilbe New Resorts in the Epcot/DHS area

    There's a rumor that part of the Epcot redevelopment will include a new luxury resort connected to or replacing The American Adventure and be integrated into WS not unlike the hotel gateways at DisneySea, California Adventure, and Paris. The views of Illuminations, or whatever the new nighttime...
