    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    I mean, I'd still love a ride like this, though I'd want them adjusting the attraction vehicles to seat parties together: I don't hate IP, but I'd like a non-IP and relaxing attraction taking me to outer space. Disney became so desperate to replace slow attractions with thrill rides that they...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I just want a picture in the rainbow tunnel 🥺 A part of me keeps hoping that we'll see it return when the Play! Pavilion opens...whenever that is...

    Tower of Terror effects status watch

    Do we know if maintenance has any video documentation of all original effects working throughout the parks and attractions to reference when looking for their laundry list of things to fix? Obviously more recent attractions are pretty heavily documented in various ways, but I wonder about older...

    Nunis has had a pretty consistent reputation when it comes to running his mouth and saying rather inappropriate things. Many quotes I've read of his talking to other Disney employees have made my jaw drop. He'd be a real HR nightmare today.

    Lost Continent's Lost Ambitions

    I'm pretty sure the original concept for IoA was in fact stories from various forms of literature including, yes, comic books, and I remember hearing Jurassic Park specifically originating from the book too, though Universal not being embarrassed to indicate that they were leaning heavily from...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    2025 was the estimated year for changes last we heard anything. Perhaps an update on the pending SSE refurbishment will come when Imagination's does 🤞 Due to the pandemic changing Disney's plans for EPCOT, there's a lot left to be desired (it was already missing a lot to begin with.) Whether...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Okay that's interesting. Good catch! Something Alicia Stella pointed out was that the concept art of Connections Cafe's mural was/is supposed to tie into the new ending of SSE. Perhaps these things together inform that a lot of changes are still planned? Or at least the descent is most likely...

    Mark Woodbury to be head of Universal Parks & Resorts

    IMHO, the candidness is refreshing. I think it's awesome that someone from creative is being promoted to the position. Definitely better than letting people that have run retail for years make decisions over creative direction of theme parks.

    Destination D23 2021

    I really like that they're going to have both. At Disneyland (pre-pandemic, of course), the characters would just walk about, and was a delightful surprise when you came across Peter Pan who was trying to recruit lost boys and girls. Or Mary Poppins decides to ride the carousel with you. Some...

    Oh my God, I thought the term "golden retriever" was a nickname in general just a loyal employee. I just looked this up - honestly, this shocks me to my core. While Disney has made some stunningly poor decisions recently, this just sounds like a huge PR nightmare. Shockingly heartless 😞

    How about they just shouldn't destroy perfectly magnificent and useful buildings? Of all the architecture to come from EPCOT Center, Imagination is my favorite. It would be even better if they could power wash it once in a while...but the glass pyramids are still a wonderous sight.

    Love your post. Forgive me, but what "golden retriever" did he fire? This post coupled with your avatar is perfection 🤣

    What is this Tiki Room lyric?

    I just asked my husband what the lyric is, and he's suggesting it's "comic 'claws." :hilarious:

    O Canada and China

    The Mulan controversy is significant, especially for Disney - many government officials have been grilling Disney and specifically Chapek for their partnership with China. And that's ignoring the significant backlash they've gotten from the general public. I found this article from the LA Times...

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    From Disney's perspective, they see the WoL building as a place to shove the demand for Meet and Greets and things for little ones to enjoy while the thrill seekers head to the other attractions in the same area. Didn't Walt Disney say that he wanted to make a place where both the parents and...

    The artwork in the Tower of Terror episode from 'Behind the Attraction' on Disney+ was stolen from YouTube creator Art of Engineering

    Sure, just in general this is how I feel. As an artist myself, when I see someone else do incredible work that inspires me I try to work with them, not just take their ideas and pass them off as my own.

    If Disney wants to use someone else's art so badly, why not hire them? Pay them for what impressed you in the first place.

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I think at this point, the real question is how management plans (or more like is willing) to tackle the rest of the EPCOT makeover as a whole. So much was never announced or cancelled or "paused indefinitely" but there's still so much work that needs to be done. And it can't be completely...

    DINOSAUR merch removed

    I don't exactly take issue with the plot of the pre-show (though IMHO, if I was actually in that situation to get sent back in time, I would rat Dr. Seeker out in an instant because I don't have a death wish) - I just feel like it screams '90s a little too hard 😄 But if Universal is going to...
