EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

[CastAStone]

I liked the canopies, probably because I don’t remember them not being there (I was there before them, just don’t recall that space), but I enjoyed the patterns they made on the concrete, and they always said Epcot to me.

It wasn’t until I joined this site that I realized that my enjoyment of them wasn’t universally held.

What about before they were brought out ?

Of course but it always impacted the views at dusk and at night. I thought they should remove the globe to Disney Springs when it got announced.

Well, part of the issue is that it wasn't just a giant piece of concrete before the canopy was there.

 

[HauntedPirate]

It blocked SSE from several angles too

Yep, if you were directly under them, the canopies would definitely have blocked your view looking up.

I did always find the barges a hindrance of the sightlines. So if something has to be there why not make it worth the trouble and make a spectacle worth the sacrafice? If the show is a dud then that's a different story.

You are really grasping at straws now.

I know, right? Those trees just had to go, plus the ponds. Such a waste of space, it's better to have vast expanses of concrete so the lemmings can stream out of park after the movie-clip show on the water.

Nah from showcase plaza and certain WS pavilions too

The canopies blocked your view of SSE from WS? In all my trips over the past 20 years I can recall exactly zero instances of that happening.

Is it "World Grasping At Straws Day" today, or is it just in this thread?

I didn’t say blocked completely, I meant it obscured parts of it.

Nope.

 

[Little Green Men]

Nope.

Yup!

 

[pdude81]

Those trees, the railing, and the brim of my hat are all obstructions as well. Sometimes even family and friends

I would take back the canopies in an instant if I could also get back:
Innovations east and west
Club cool
The fountain of nations
Illuminations

I know, I am such a dreamer …..

I mean, you're getting 1.5/4.

I have a bad feeling the new club cool replacement will not offer free samples.

I am hoping harmonious will be extra good at night to make up for the ugly permanent barges that have killed the views across the lagoon during the daytime.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Yup! View attachment 563819

That’s not a view from World Showcase.

I'm actually the consistent one here. Plus I know which times to make a point or not.

Example. GotG on ToT at DHS or an oversized show building at Epcot or Tomorrowland. I am very happy with the end result if those were the only options.

And the Tron add isn't turning out half bad at all either.

Your point was the RoE barges ruined the sight lines in WSL. Not sure how changing fields to a completely different one is somehow you making a point.

Okay. I'll keep it to RoE compromised the sightlines.

They do squirt water during the, at least they are supposed to.
