Do you think there's still a chance they can get it done fast enough to have it be ready next year though?

Curious to hear about the other proposals for the WOL pavilion. I imagine this wasn't the only idea. Any idea why they can't/won't use the showbuildings for BW/CC? (Sorry if this was already asked and you can't say/don't know). I have a tough time imagining all of the things they will have in there, plus meet and greets, without using some of those areas. I know it's a large space and all but still ... but I guess this is all meant to be "temporary"? So of course, with Chapek's mindset, they can always say "we're EXPANDING!"
lol
They don’t need to. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy to install playground.

A capacity valve for "not planning to fix the park years ago" for the 50th kinda thing....

not sure I buy.
"This is an experience worthy of our bold vision for Epcot – and another signature element of our transformation.”
but I'll wait for the finished product 1st, for now the Animation Academy is what attracts me.

So, this was a fairly recent proposal for the dome, correct? Like, within the last year. I had first heard about it a few months before the blog announced it, but it's my understanding that it's been in development for a while. Why all that development for something that's only serving to be temporary?
As temporary as camp MickeyMinnie.

So all of the current construction going on at WoL for the Play Pavilion could be repurposed quickly to another attraction quickly like Cars over at DHS.
Perhaps back to a festival center?

A huge empty dome would make for a pretty terrible Festival Center. Plus, Epcot never goes backwards even when it’s a good idea (Okay, with some exceptions), so why would they put one of their bad decisions back into place?
The flex theatre i think. Racing academy.
Ah. Thank you.

Ah. My mistake in thinking it was something long-term, lol, silly me
(of course no doubt this lasts 5-10+ years ...)

Legally, the Play Pavilion is not temporary so anything built has to be treated the same as something not considered temporary. Even something considered quick and easy, like projections, still has to have its content created.

Anybody heard anything new from the dome? It's appeared to be pretty much radio silent after they started ripping out Pure & Simple

Nothing is as permanent as a temporary Disney attraction.

So, it's pretty clear that this is a temporary thing. Are there any plans whatsoever for the long term future of the dome? Or is that too far away to be under consideration still?
