Is the Walt Statue is still coming?! Looking forward to that most of all.
Yes, this will be their next project. They’ll repaint the outside of the building silver before repainting it with a brand new vibrant color scheme. Then they’ll get rid of one of the glass pyramids and replace it with an aluminum cube. Finally, they’ll re-record Eric Idle in 4K HD and open the ride (with a virtual queue).Do you think that when they get this done they will finally turn to Imagination? I feel like, years ago, you had hinted that was the long-term plan.
It’d be nice. But I fear for what changes current management would make.Do you think that when they get this done they will finally turn to Imagination? I feel like, years ago, you had hinted that was the long-term plan.

I like the stage -- finally a proper place for the Jammitors, festival talks and concerts, etc. And the scale of the building seems better. I don't like the trees, if only because it seems like filler. And, wtih FoN gone and the grand Festival monstrosity gone, there's no centerpiece. It use to be the fountain, and then it looked like it would be the festival building (even if it was going to be and "off-center"piece). Now the centerpiece is just trees and plants? Pretty I suppose, but...It's a lot of trees, and a large covered stage. Worthy of the center of EPCOT?

2023 is the plan, and I would think so on the stage.A couple things
Anyone know a Timeline for this????
Is the new Festival Stage a replacement for the Pop Up one at Showcase Plaza?
Fair point, although once the location and show times were on the schedule, the "surprise" element was really gone.Isn't a large part of the fun of the Jammitors supposed to be that they don't have a stage-like area and look like average janitors until they start playing, catching people off guard? The one time I saw them before covid they were in a non-descript area and just started yelling about break time before they started pulling everything out.
I thought they were only in a designated area now as a covid leftover. Was I wrong?
Thanks!2023 is the plan, and I would think so on the stage.
And in an effort to blunt the "Woke Disney" critiques, it will occasionally play audio clips from the HUAC hearings where he excoriates Communists.The new Walt statue will also have water effects. Every fifteen minutes Walt will weep over what Epcot has become.
