Oh "verb pri-zents" not "noun prez-uh nts]" and here I thought Disney was giving their customers gifts as compensation for charging full price for tickets to what's left of DHS at the moment.

Grasping for "new" attractions, it seems like...

Great idea. They could move everything over to an area in EPCOT along with footage of Walt's Florida project and educate the younger generation about the man who made all of this possible.

How do you mean? Maybe I'm missing something stupidly obvious but I'm struggling to make the connection.

There was apparently a long(ish) term plan to turn Muppetvision into the place for movie previews at the park. Since One Man's Dream is now officially taking that job over, it bodes well for the Muppets.

That's great to hear.
At first I worried they'd be clearing out all the Walt stuff to put in new park models.

Sounds great! it's staying, but with a completely different name.
But why can't the Pith of the Jedi theater play the movie sneak peeks(for future Disney releases like Coco, Wrinkle in Time, Incredibles 2, etc.)(because almost nobody goes inside to see that clip show film)
I agree, Path of the Jedi is a waste. And they also have the theater behind the Launch Bay they could use for movie previews. I know it's out of the way but still (or move Path of the Jedi there, and combine it with whatever was playing in that one) ... lots of other options though I get why they put it in One Man's Dream.

At least they're no longer pretending this is still a tribute to Walt when it clearly isn't. Now the movie previews and meet-and-greets make sense. I hope the Walt film still plays when there aren't any previews to show.
Which is where the NFL model used to reside, correct? Makes sense to put the new models there.
As I understand it, yes.

They've cut a few things from the Walt exhibit but it's still just about the same. I don't love they added merchandise, character meet and greet and movie previews but I think those things are what's keeping this open (that and a lack of rides in the park). I'm sure the Walt movie will still play when movie previews aren't. At least they've finally gotten around to renaming it for what it's become.

I can't seem to find any info on down time for the update. Does anyone know if and when One Man's Dream will close for the update?

Yes. I also remember how the Walt Disney Story on Main Street became the EPCOT Center Preview Center. Pushing Walt aside, although by presenting what would become of Walt's greatest dream it had good reason.
I remember it because it is where I fell in love with EPCOT. And with UoE.
Nothing's really changing except the signage and frontage. OMD has had dioramas of other parks and projects, such as Shanghai. I presume those dioramas (which Walt had nothing to do with) will make way for new dioramas, such as DHS's version of SWGE. The space had already been carved out for a M&G room (Moana, then Star Lord with Baby Groot), and movie previews have been regularly bumping the OMD movie. The historic hallway of Walt memorabilia should remain untouched going by what the Disney Blog is saying.
It will still play between movie previews.I assume the film about Walt's life (that rarely plays as it is) will cease to be featured in the future?
I wouldn't expect any downtime.

Except that "plan" was nothing more then fan speculation from the get go based on a reflex reaction about the new marque that was just installed. I don't think Muppetvision was ever in the bulls eye for extinction. At least not recently.
