Nothing really new here, but confirmation that D23 Expo should provide some answers.

Disney to reveal more about the future of Epcot at D23 Expo 2019

D23 is just under 3 months away, and we should be hearing much more about the future of Epcot.

Love when Disney posts an article that tells us nothing.

NEW. PARK. ICONS.

It's the "more Disney" part that doesn't bode well for the future of Epcot. Epcot is it's own thing, or at least, it was. It never needed to be "more" anything except an updated version of what it was.

"What makes Epcot, Epcot"?

Probably not what they think.

How in the world would you represent Guardians in an icon.

"the foodie park"
That's gonna go down well.

I noticed that wording too. For my family, the foodie park is Disney Springs.

I hope this actually means they'll make merch that represents the pavilions and not more IP centered crap that I can buy at literally any park in WDW. #1 reason why I never buy anything except for anniversaries. The original iconography is truly timeless.

Nightmare scenario: They pull a Windows 10 and all of the new icons are differently shaped instead of all being circle/square/etc based.

Don't give them any ideas or they'll start charging admission there, too.

A middle finger seems appropriate to the franchise as well Disney’s view of EPCOT Center.

I'm pretty sure we're going to be mildly/extremely disappointed by what they show off.

(Caveat: If they do indeed reveal an amazingly expanded and true-to-the-original Spaceship Earth, then I'll be happy.)

Imagination 1.0 > 2.0 > 3.0 > 1.0?

 

[Little Green Men]

Circle icons returning?

 

[BrowncatP]

I noticed in reading the news -"Preserve ALL of the elements that make this park so special." Ah, yeah. NO Universe of Energy, rumors that The Land and The Living Seas will be torn down. Yup, that is how you keep "ALL of the elements!"

 

[Rteetz]

rumors that The Land and The Living Seas will be torn down.

Well these rumors aren't true so...

Imagination 1.0 > 2.0 > 3.0 > 1.0?

If they make an Imagination with Figment and Dreamfinder and it's as timeless as the original was/could've been, I may be able to overlook some of the destruction happening elsewhere in the park (present and past). They can either reboot it and base it on the Marvel comics or go for a ride based off the original. I mean "Dreamfinder" is still around and would still do voice work, I'm sure.

Not sure what you're getting at?
"don’t you think we need some new icons to match? More will be revealed at the Expo!"
