EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[Rhinocerous]

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

I expect their reaction would be something like "so this is what the rubes enjoy? Oh well. Whatever keeps them in the park and spending."

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

Iger has spent notably more time in the parks since his return - by several factors. I hardly recall him ever being spotted a decade ago, apart from limited media opening appearances or his photo ops. He’s even been at Aulani.

Perhaps not coincidental timing with what @lentesta shared. Or perhaps a test track fan.

And what did you think? Marie

Everyone love to dance, alot know the moves, it would be so cool if they did stuff like this with other countries and languages.

He likes to check on his trees in Galaxy's Edge.

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

I hate to break it to you but I can guarantee he thinks it looks "nice" because it's as soulless and sterile as he is.

This just sums up the whole thing about the State of Epcot..

Honestly, while I am certain he is not genuinely as bad as most here make him out to be, if he were legitimately soullessly ego-driven, then he’d probably hate the current core because they failed to build the monument to himself that he actually wanted under Bob the Lesser.

I understand the sentiment but any sane businessperson would look at how they tore down Communicore West to try to replace it with a structure that would have been physically impossible to build. Only to back down and build something as bland as Communicore Hall which functionally is not that different from what they already tore down. The light-up logo in the concrete that cannot function after a basic Florida rainstorm plus the fact that this area took 5 years to construct. Sterile as he may be, I don't think Iger is stupid. Anyone with two functioning brain cells could see that this was a massive waste of time, money and resources for the company.

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.

Most of us would probably fire whoever came up with that idea by the end of the day, but we likely care more about the parks atmosphere than them, they just want to count money

I was thinking the same thing.

He seems to care so little about the state of the parks that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't really know what was there beforehand. Not to mention the Jeff/Josh combo that are probably extremely eager to hide their mismanagement, I'd be willing it was all swept under the rug. That's what happens in business when you're surrounded by idiots/poor leaders/yes men.

I saw new videos on social media showing some screws not working to hold down the totally failed in ground lighting in the totally failed World (Celebration?) Gardens in EPCOT.
