    News EPCOT Parking Plaza refurbishment?

    I think it would be a pretty easy fix. Love it or hate it, they could easily do an arch in the style behind the Walt statue, using the triangles, or any number of designs - and it would do wonders. Plus a good, old-fashioned cleaning/refurb, as you noted. They aren't really going with stark...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I understand your sentiment. And I think you may have nailed it right here. The big issue is the amount of time, energy and hype that has gone into the park. To create something that seems fine or nice enough. I agree there is a lot of rehashing. The challenge is, for people who really...

    News EPCOT Parking Plaza refurbishment?

    Those look nice. I do wish they would enhance the marquee a bit more (and just clean it!). But, I'll take the incremental progress.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Given the current center of Epcot, I'm not sure discussing "lining up" is appropriate for a family site.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I'm going with "World Carbonation Activation Adventure: Bob's Tiana Bruno Refreshment Center... sponsored by Dasani.". Use of "Center" evokes the true spirit of Epcot.

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    "Hey Alexa... Create a generic Disney Park..." "OK..." Yeah... this name is pretty terrible.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I finally got to pop over and see everything in person (daytime). I have to say it's not gelling for me. It does feel a bit chaotic and mishmashed. It does really stand out in Frontierland already (not in a good way and more than Splash admittedly did as well). And, the signage for the ride...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    That is very true. Though, for those of us who have been around for awhile, we do get pretty intense at time. (And that's for all of us on "a side".) Any time we are coming with that intensity can alienate people with valid opinions. I do think it's always helpful to self reflect from time...

    Moving IaSW to Epcot?

    I agree. Sadly, with the waterways and the underpass there, it would be a massive infrastructure project - unless they built the show building right next to/within UK. That roadway and the dip under the water there is pretty necessary.

    News Epcot Forever to debut as interim show before full Reflections of Earth replacement

    No clue. I didn't bump it. I think it may have just been a new member thing. :) From what I've heard, Luminous is actually doing decently well.

    Moving IaSW to Epcot?

    I thought that, too. It would also be weird be possible at International Gateway, but you'd lose the full UK expansion plot. I mean, if Christine had stuck around - they could have used WoL, adjusting the narrative to talk about small waistlines...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I'm not against the Muppets in Epcot, if done properly. I think a Muppet-esque PIM's Test Kitchen that blends a bit of actual food science with Muppets food science (into weird, inventive dishes) could be a nice addition that works in a balanced IP Epcot. (Unlike Regal Eagle, which feels like...

    News Epcot Forever to debut as interim show before full Reflections of Earth replacement

    I know it's a massive thread bump from 3 years ago... But the point is still valid... 😁

    Moving IaSW to Epcot?

    That would be the most logical (from a physical standpoint). I'm just not sure it would be the best fit - even with modern Disney's lack of caring on that front.

    Moving IaSW to Epcot?

    The only reason I would see any chance of this would be to open a bigger path to the Beyond Big Thunder loop. But there are better, cheaper options. Part of the challenge is there isn't a really great place to put it in Epcot, either.

    News New 'Forces of Nature' acrobatic show debuts at EPCOT

    It looks like a nice add. I'll be interested to see how it is in person.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    It could be, but I don't think the "nostalgic" pieces of Epcot are actually because of the individual buildings. It was more the collective that they represent. The whole was certainly greater than the sum of its parts. Plus, at lot of it was tied to the experiences inside, as they were very...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I'll need to see them in person. I can't say I'm all that wowed right now. But, we'll see. Don't get me wrong. It's nice, but it's just kind of a vertical lighting package. (It also feels a bit disjointed from the open air of Connections/Creations, the natural aspects of the Gardens. And...
