Suggests we may get some news on it then? And a nice segue from “While were talking about improvements at Epcot, how do you guys feel about Figment?”

Same - we are coming down for that and doing Epcot on Aug 28th. My wife, especially, is not happy that it will close right before we get there and doesn't understand why they don't wait another week to close it

They can add those credit card scanners some planes have so you can get a Disney+ account after you’ve watched 12 minutes of Phineas and Ferb.

Maybe they’ll actually consider adding something to the desent this time instead of just a cartoon on a screen in front of you

Sounds like this refurb is to upgrade the screens for the cartoons. Best case would be upgraded cartoons, I'd think.

It would honestly be better if they just allowed you to make some choices and ran a preset (better) animation without attempting to plaster in your face. It felt mildly novel decades ago and is nothing of the sort now.

I think the only hope we have for the decent currently is maybe Disney will throw some budget towards a demo crew to take advantage of the downtime and give a very little leg up to the next refurb.
Realistically, probably nothing though.

I think a single video on the future in general would be better. Or maybe a random one of like 15 videos of world heritage sites or something

But where ever would they find the animators to create the scenes?

Honestly I would wait for the big refurb for that. While the current descent has been an embarrassment for the last 17 years. I want WDI to have time to really think about how they can create a great ending again. A temporary fix now would be just that.

AL could have done better than what has been in place oh these many years

Maybe, but I would prefer an actual physical ending that inspires people the way the 94 ending inspired me.

Not really, The screens don't have to be there and there is enough space to create something better. It would require effort and ingenuity which I am not sure modern WDI is capable of but it is still possible.

Do you know something I don't? It really depends on who is leading the Imagineering Team. The new Test Track is a hopeful sign but then again that is mostly GM's doing. Since SSE is sponsorless there is a 50/50 chance the next version will be bad or good. At least based on the current evidence. We know the planned 2020 "Story Light" version would have been bad.

That would be in-decent.
