EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[James Alucobond]

Physically there inspecting?

Physically there, but waving into the new lounge more than inspecting while I was walking by.

Iger wouldn't know a tool belt if it bit him in his @ss

Wardrobe takes care of that stuff for him. It's entirely possible he doesn't need to know anything at all.

D’Amaro, Iger, and Vahle are circling this area right now. Not sure if this means the screws were a quick fix for their visit or if they’re discussing/checking out the issues.

I wonder if Iger voiced outloud that this was “boring”

I didn't help when he said that about Tiana, so..

this gif might be way too niche, but there's nothing better than three execs nodding their heads, hands on their hips, admiring a terrible decision and acting like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread

"Great! So, uh, how do we get to that Tom Sauler place from here?"

"I think that's in MGM Studios."

"I thought we were in MGM Studios!"

Saw on social media some pics from a Disney Archives event for D23 where they showed off that they have a bottle of Fountain of Nations water and some of the fountain nozzles in storage. Still not predicting it'll happen, I have like 2% faith that a fountain ever returns....

But I could just imagine the hoopla of them announcing a returning fountain (that's like 25% as grand as the original) and making a big to-do about returning the Fountain of Nations water back to a "new home" or something like that

Sending a bottle of Fountain of Nations water to the archives has to be one of the weirder things Disney has done.

They sent a bottle of water from the frozen ride at Epcot to be added to the frozen ride at Paris

At this rate the archives will probably be more interesting than the actual parks.

Where the north wind meets the sea there's a river full of memory.

Sleep, my darling, safe and sound for in this river all is found.

The original water was partially comprised of contributions of water from 29 countries. While of course it has evaporated and been replaced many times over since then, it's more of a symbolic thing.

They have way weirder things in that archive... Trust me.

Didn't Shanghai Pirates get water from all the other PotC rides delivered in a real fancy pirate chest?

 

[michmousefan]

I get the symbolism of the Fountain of Nations starting off with contributions from several nations when it first was "turned on," but it's kinda silly — there are molecules from every nation and body of water on earth in the glass of water right now on my desk. That's the kind of science they should be teaching at Epcot.

Even if they were not thoroughly checking out the issues you’d think the conversation would at least come up. Let’s hope something gets done and let’s also hope they realize how much better that area would look with a fountain. Even the GEO view would greatly be improved if there was a fountain there.

My vote is bringing out All-4-One to announce (serenade?) new cruise ships

Personally I would be shocked if Iger saw the Celebration area in it's current state and thought this was somehow a wise investment.

Hope they stuck around to bop to the DJ so they can see how well it fits into the park.
