Dome still empty, Play still canceled. Food and Wine just ended so all that stuff is making its way into the warehouse formerly known as Body Wars. One would hope them going through the effort to load all that stuff in suggests they have no imminent demo plans.
I was curious if they still stored that stuff in there. I was actually just talking to some family who just went to Disney recently who hadn’t been since sometime before Covid. Was upset about many changes, but didn’t like that there weren’t the fun show kitchens and celebrity chefs like they used to have during food and wine and how the festival center used to be in WoL. I doubt they will be back to Disney for a very long time, for a many number of reasons.
I think festivals was always a poor use of the WoL space, but it was still always pleasant going in there and seeing all that stuff. Certainly better than what’s going on there now. The story goes that EPCOT operations refused to surrender the Body Wars space to WDI because it was seen as an essential storage facility for them, which leads me to believe Wonders won’t go down until they have a replacement facility ready
Won’t go down as in demolished or just repurposed?
Demolished. I had heard whispers of activity there about a month or two ago which I was led to believe were discussions on another gut job, then this thread popped up which had me worried about a full demo. Body Wars is still an active facility, and I doubt they would go through the effort of taking the rest of the structure down and leaving Body Wars standing. I have chosen to stop panicking about it until we either see permits filed or something that could be the Body Wars replacement pop up elsewhere.
I don’t really see what would be exciting about EPCOT trading an empty building for an empty dirt lot
All those many millions to completely replace original Communicore building (but with a "Meet & Greet") with.... Communicore Hall (but with a "Meet & Greet")You aren't still irrationally activated from all the excitement from Communicore Hall, the center spine lights, the planter-of-questionable-design, Journey of Water, et al? There is just no pleasing some people...
Now EPCOT trading an empty building for Horizons 2.0...I can live with that
It is hilarious that the mostly abandoned Innoventions with meet and greet turned into an airport concourse known as Communicore Hall, but with a meet and greet.
The last half-decade has been enough excitement for me as far as EPCOT is concerned. I would actually take the sad state of EPCOT in 2019 over what has happened since.
that's pretty bad. Haven't been since the "revamp" but I remember lamenting while walking thru (2018), how overwhelmingly run-down my one-time favorite park had become
At least they got rid of those barges that never looked non-bad in any photos/videos? 
I don't know who was smoking what when the decision to add them was made! 
They were smoking IP.At least they got rid of those barges that never looked non-bad in any photos/videos?
