Three and a half months to go from dirt to a finished product? When none of the new structures outside Moana have gone vertical? It's possible for a few walls to maybe be pushed back, but not to see them all gone.

News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

100% agreed on CommuniCore Hall. They could probably get everything else done by then since it's, like, 80% concrete and landscaping, but just looking at the general pace of things, I'm gonna guess it won't move quickly enough for that to happen.

I mean, I don't consider this project having started from the initial announcement, I'm considering it from the date of the announcement of CommuniCore Hall and the updated plans. Even then, a stretch.

I'm sure they could have a lot finished by October, but they won't. Insiders have already said the plan pre-pandemic was for everything including Moana to open in 2023, and there's certainly no indication Disney suddenly feels any new urgency about completing the centre of the park.
I guess they just feel guests will keep coming whether the entire centre of the park is a pile of dirt for years at a time, so why spend the money to get things done as quickly as possible when you can stretch them out over years?

The question still stands, what remains of their plans for Future World West? There is no way they leave Imagination, Land, and Seas the way they are. I would assume a Phase II announcement at D23?
Why not? The consumers continue to pay, no reason to change anything.
D23 is going to disappoint many unless Josh pulls a rabbit out of his skinny jeans.

Second phases are almost nonexistent for project that didn’t have the scope of the first phase radically reduced.

Trash cans with a neighborhood color stripe on them as theming?

At least clean the windows over at Imagination

The Land and The Seas literally just need a light modernizing facelift in the common areas. I doubt there were ever plans to significantly alter them. Imagination is another story, but it's also been a problem for many years that they've never really felt pressure to rectify.

Wait. Epcot’s 40th is this fall?

I think they need to spend money on the Seas in terms of the aquatic life, both plant and animal. Last time I was there some of the areas looked scant. I don't expect that to happen anytime soon, though.

That’s a terrible assumption!

Yep.
Probably get a merch announcement end of July/mid August.
When it come to Disney and "phase 2" I lose all hope. Phase 1 barely makes it through the machine that is called "budget cuts".

Don't forget about the cupcakes! Shall I just take a crack at writing some copy?

Our "center" piece dessert for EPCOT's 40th anniversary - the Spaceship Earth Cupcake features a icing-based decoration of the iconic façade of the park's geodesic dome, adorned with 40 Skittles (courtesy of Mars, Inc., proud partner of Disney Magical Candy Activations) to represent the Beacon of Magic that has dazzled guests every night!
Also at An American Adventure, stop by for our special Florida Mud Pie, honoring the currently iconic entrance plaza that has wowed guests aboard our highway in the sky, the Monorail, as they get a birds-eye view of EPCOT World Whatever!

Execution is critical, will the cans be empty or full? Really depends on what kind of neighborhood they're going for.

Execution is a really appropriate word for Epcot at the moment. Though I'm not sure we're using that term in the same way...

You have to remember that to some people, these aren’t trash cans. To them, they are dining tables.
And we also need to think of the trash pandas!
