Yep, a tent with ceiling fans and some iPads for watching his videos. Decorated with some Manchester United paraphernalia.

Conscious decision is still questionable to many no matter how Disney spun it back at that time!

One of the best openings of all time. Get goosebumps everytime.Oh, absolutely
As they say, the marni giveth, and the marni taketh away.
Poppins was always my second choice-it's honestly in my top favorite movies of all time, and absolutely deserves a greater parks presence. (The looks a 30 year old guy can get by uttering the phrase "I think Mary Poppins is Walt Disney's crowning achievement." when talking about movies....)

Oh, definitely! I'm not saying every decision to replace a ride was a great decision at the time (Horizons into Mission Space may be the most egregious for me). But I still generally would rather see a new, boundary-pushing ride than the return of an older ride, no matter how much I loved it. That, and...once Disney makes that decision to shut down/replace an attraction (for better or worse) I can't see them wanting to rebuild it years later.

"Epcot just may be the perfect place for a Martin-inspired attraction – he actually visited Epcot as a kid!"

In terms of schedules, Martin doesn't believe the attraction will open in 2019. So we're looking at 2020 or later, I guess.

Missed opportunity. A new Toad could've been amazing.

Of COURSE it won't be Poppins. Too perfect, too good an idea, and would cost money.
Bet it'll be a lame Brave Meet and Greet.

The only truly Narnian part of that exhibit was when the wardrobe doors opened and you saw a snowy world inside. After that it was lameness. Too bad Disney let the Narnia franchise go. A fully-animated Narnian film series could have been amazing.

Yep, this rumor makes more sense than any others currently
