It has been interesting to go back in time to read the first few pages of this thread. Hopeful and pessimistic predictions from a half a decade ago archived.
Some thoughts haven’t aged too well, still other thoughts were perceptive along with the drizzle of nonsensical need to post just to post. Enjoyed the re-read.

I’m excited for the new festival center. I hope they get it done ASAP.

Any updates on movement for projects that will be located inside World Nature? Anything on The Seas and the future of Nemo integration?

I’d hazard we’d see changes at Imag before anything substantial at Seas. As things stand - originally Seas had funds earmarked for next year. I think SSE has altered things.
Wouldn't 'the water feature' that opens up and leads people to The Seas be considered a Seas project?
Nope. That is a spine component. Seas is a separate project.
Don’t hold your breath.

Is it delayed?

As far as WDW is concerned, it's still happening. But then again who would expect word of delay from them?

- A new pavilion will be the perfect place for live events, and the home base for Epcot’s signature festivals. It will provide a stunning elevated view of the entire park and an ideal spot to witness Epcot’s nighttime spectacular. This beautiful three-level structure will have one of the most remarkable architectural designs at any Disney park, featuring a plaza level, a middle expo level, and a park that sits in the sky on the top level.
Historic Transformation of EPCOT Continues at Walt Disney World Resort - Disney World Press Room
Sweeping lineup of new experiences make the real world fantastic in a celebration of curiosity, discovery and the magic of possibility LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Walt Disney once said EPCOT “would always be in a state of becoming” as a place that changes with the times. The Walt Disney World...

Not that I know of. But the spine project is scheduled through to 2023.
I would think if the mushroom tower and Mary Poppins were cancelled, they'd stop being featured in the EPCOT showcase in Odyssey.

Why?

Because it’s going to be the last of the Spine development to happen, I assume. And that’s not scheduled to happen until 2023.

It seems odd that they knock Innoventions to the ground and then take three years to build the parks new Icon??

9 months to repave a tram loop at the TTC, 4 years to knock down a building and make a new one. Disney construction schedules are wacky.

Huh?
This Festival Center won’t be the new icon. Spaceship Earth is still standing.
Ya know... if you stand in the right place... probably somewhere around the UK... you can get SSE to look like it's on top of the Festival Center pedestal... and then it will look like a golf ball on a tee.
