I feel this center display area would be perfect for that. Instead of the abstract shapes there now, do a mix of SSE facets and pavilion logos and World Showcase skyline; as it is, they're halfway there with the Food and Wine signage. You could even put all the EPCOT Light and Color merch around...

Don't worry, I'm sure the Lightning Lane will be installed soon. But I agree, the space does seem smaller. I also feel having all the machines in a row against the wall isn't going to help either.

"Popcorn Stand" is the name? Missed opportunity to call it something like "Kernel Creations."

I just don't get the artistic direction behind this store. I really don't. The name, the store design and finishes, the absolute fixation on using Mickey... It's just not EPCOT, and there's no good reason for why the park's flagship store references practically nothing about EPCOT (apart from a...

Most likely the case. Still, could have Rocket/Groot next to the temporary Mouse Gear and HeiHei/Pua maybe between The Land and The Seas. And of course Miguel/Dante would make sense somewhere near Mexico and Olaf in the vicinity of the Frozen meet and greet. But...eh. Oh, he absolutely makes...

Still amazed Figment was included. Sorta wonder who "fought" for that to happen and how much they had to push. Also surprised the non-Figment statues are just clustered around World Showcase Plaza rather than closer to their respective attractions or pavilions.

Biggest problem now is you get a lousy view with either choice. Rose and Crown use to be a great spot, but not anymore because you'll miss the Stargate screen. Spice Road has always been subpar because of the islands.

I mean, none of these dining or dessert packages is "worth it" from a food/drink standpoint. You're really paying for the convenience of a relatively stress free and uncrowded fireworks view, and I can understand how there is perceived value in that. Rose and Crown will have a pretty lousy view...

Pricing is about as expected I think (for better or worse). Assuming it wasn't taken down because it's the wrong one, I'll give them credit for having fairly distinct lunch and dinner menus. But Steakhouse 71's menu appealed to me more, though 220 is going to be as much about the "experience"...

I'm quite pleased with the updated font, along with how it's been incorporated in many places already, from directional signs to inside pavilions like at The Seas to even the ticket booth screens. I just wish the Creations Shop signs were smaller and/or less numerous. But the font is certainly...

Was going to say, they couldn't even be bothered to put Donald and Goofy or some other character combo on the other end. Maybe other monorails will be wrapped and have different characters? Either way, literally all of the below had more thought put into the wrap design: *Bonus points for...

Had to be a show test as there's no way they would have that much complexity for a daytime mode. Plus, that much water falling onto the barges seems like a good way to accelerate wear and tear. One thing I found interesting with the daytime mode was how nearly all the fountain heads were...

Even this monorail wrap is basically a character billboard. The anniversary number and tagline are completely dwarfed by Mickey and Minnie.

Yes, the new ponds and waterfalls look great, and should look even better as the plants grow in. And there are a few other things I think look nice. The ground level pavement treatment with the pebble framing looks nice. As do the column lights on the monorail platform. And I like what they...

Fair point. Agree these wraps aren't the best they've done. It's oddly disjointed looking. I would have played off the monorail striping. Keep cars 1 and 6 unchanged and have the color stripe gradually change to glittery iridescent halfway along cars 2 and 5, with everything swelling into a...

Also up in the breezeway, per Blog Mickey: So many signs is rather excessive in my opinion - the two on the end are only about 20 feet apart from each other. Should have gone with just one sign between each set of doors instead of putting them above every door.

Usually I agree. Same with the buses, and I dislike all the "character" wraps that have been appearing in recent years. Just look really tacky to me. BUT... if there was ever a time for some kind of marketing wrap on the buses and monorails, WDW's 50th is it. It's a milestone anniversary and a...

Bear in mind camera settings and lighting conditions can have a sizable impact, but a comparison of the castle using photos from @wdwmagic when it was new in 2012 vs. post 2021 refurb. 2012: 2021: The 2021 version looks nicer to me. Better detailed and more realistic snow and weathering...

There's definitely some hue and brightness differences from module to module in that video. Looks like they were cycling through different colors at maximum brightness, I suspect so programmers can note which modules need tweaks and/or color correction.
