I honestly hope they have a concrete plan for Magic Eye when they do Imagination 4. The fact that the film festival has been around this long is embarrasing.

I don’t think they are that popular with the kids are they? The frozen show at DHS is popular because of its location - but even then it wasn’t full when I was there. Mermaid was.
The Canada and China pavilions still have non-ip attractions as well.

They've actually generally done a decent job of hiding the cartoon elements either inside or around a corner. I personally think that, if IP must come, discreetly tucking rides in based on Disney properties while maintaining films, shows, and exhibits centered on the real countries feels like a tolerable compromise. It's part of why BatB should go.

Oh right, but I still stand by the idea that World Showcase was more interesting when it was trying to replicate the real world not Disneyfy it.

you’re exposing the fact that I’ve legit never gone to any sing along experience in any of the parks…

The Frozen show is legit great due to the historians.

Brickey just did a video about Disneyland's Magic Eye being in a similar pathetic, grossly-underutilized state. Saddens me how underutilized the entire Imagination Pavilion has become. They should either completely restore Imagination 1.0 (which I realize they'd have to dig-up the old turntable at great expense) plus a new "4D" film ..... or completely gut/level and start all over.

Tears would always be streaming down my face by the time of the finale, each and every time ('90s, '00s, '10s; ... for the '80s I was too young to fully appreciate it). The only time I didn't cry was when I saw its latest iteration, but I'm hoping that was because someone was on their, bright, phone in the seat next to me the entire time. Had to hold myself down not to take the phone away! So I should give the latest version another chance.

I know all the words to “Say No to This”. Used to sing it to my kids when they were 3. Still do, sometimes.

See? It is a solidly great idea...lol... Could Alexander Hamilton and the Schuyler Sisters (and Peggy) become walk around characters at the American Adventure Pavilion? That would be fun... especially if they would break out in song from time to time....

I'm hoping to visit just for the day on Friday and will see what I can find out.
Canada is one of the few pavilions where the government is somewhat involved. So it makes sense they'd be interested in keeping it relevant the country, and not, say, Turning Red.

no, I just want to Wait for it.. Wait for i..t Wait for it.....
I’m not sure if Impressions has returned yet, but I was able to confirm via a friend there today that it has indeed not operated for the last several weeks due to an issue with the curtains. The CM they spoke to said it “may be back tonight” but apparently did not seem super confident in their answer. Would definitely appreciate anyone checking if they’re in the park in the evening any time soon

I love ‘Impressions’….so nice to walk into that charming French setting and enjoy this classic slice of ol’ EPCOT Center on a hot afternoon.
When I last saw the film this past May, it looked better than ever projection wise.
The recent upgrade really makes it pop off the screen in a good way.
Here’s hoping it is back soon.
I can’t be the only one missing it already….
