They really don't have a clue with EPCOT.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

More live spontaneous entertainment is a good thing. This is a GRUNTLING development.

[Nottamus]

Nice! I have hoping for a lot of this kind of entertainment to return!

Perfect start

 

[Epcot82Guy]

I love the idea of new entertainment coming in. I'll have to see these in person, as the initial reaction was a strong groan at these specific ideas. (Not the performers but the concept.) It feels a lot like corporate trying to be relevant. But, addition is addition, no doubt. I just hope this is a test and not a band-aid. (As the competition IS showing marked improvement in this area, I would say.)

 

[𝐌𝖆𝖓 𝖎𝖓 𝐖𝖊𝖇]

This sounds fun. I wish they'd lean a little more into the actual aesthetic of an AA figure but maybe in not doing so, it's made more endearing and silly? Seems a good fit for EPCOT to me. Better than Tomorowland in any case, unless they were somehow part of CoP. Let's see how it goes. Any streetmosphere is a good thing.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Love more streetmosphere and feels very keeping with "Keep Epcot Weird"

 

[TheMaxRebo]

That said MISSterious > Miss Information

 

[Prototype82]

At least they are trying. So... Pandora, its been what, 5 years? Can we please get something?

 

[larryz]

Which one is the robot?

You have so many Audio-Animatronic characters you could turn into face characters, such as:

Alec Tronic
Bonnie Appetit
Buzzy
The Brother and Sister from Meet The World
Dreamfinder
The Grandparents from Horizons
Several of the characters from World of Motion(the Centaur, Fat Woman with umbrella, Police Officer on motorcycle to name a few.)

I'm not trying to harp on the people playing Miss Information and Al, but you really couldn't try to bring back characters that people clearly love and want to see back in the park?

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Fat Woman with umbrella

That would have been an interesting casting call.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Max and Aydar used to be full time at the boardwalk, Disney Springs, and Storybook Circus. While I feel like they are more appropriate at Storybook Circus - they are excellent performers!

And of course seeing former adventurers club / citizens back is a huge win.

Glad to see Dis getting back to this form of guest entertainment. It's been missing for far too long. I'm reserving my opinion on these until I can be there in person and get a proper look at both shows. But it's good to see that Dis is spending some money to pay for a concept that once was a winner.

Half of these are such deep cuts that even seasoned fans would probably have a difficult time recognizing them, and the others aren't much better. Disney is pretty keen on never mentioning Buzzy again as well.

 

[CAlexander]

They really don't have a clue with EPCOT.

Imagine getting some free, unexpected, live entertainment that fully goes with the feel of the park, and having this reaction. Why be miserable about everything?

 

[WorldExplorer]

I am increasingly convinced that a lot of Old Epcot fans don't actually want a park in the vein of Old Epcot, they just want to reminded of stuff from Old Epcot over and over. Like it's its own IP to be meaninglessly milked. Repeatedly, the only suggestion for how to make something in Epcot special is "reference old thing". It's shallow and boring.


While I'm not a huge fan of the choice to use what looks like a fairly generic circus act, the robot thing sounds very cute. A+ idea, I'll look for it the next time I'm in to see if I like it in action.

And I would take the generic circus act over Encanto sing along any day. Too bad we have both.
