As guests pass beneath Spaceship Earth towards Discovery World’s center, the forest of Dreamers Plaza give way to lush gardens more contained and cultivated. The rockwork in this area is less cavernous and no longer towers over guests. The area formerly known as Innoventions Plaza has made way...

The plans were there. Star Wars could have replaced Indy, Backlot Express, and Star Tours, while an expansion of Pixar Place replaced portions of the Backlot Tour and its surrounding area. It made so much more sense than the route they went...

Go ahead and edit that statement again. Star Tours is better AND more fun than Falcon.

Disagree. Ever notice how there's basically no air conditioning in SWGE outside of the attractions? That might work in Southern California where standing in the shade can make a difference, but in Central Florida, even with shade it's miserable. SWGE desperately needs some indoor sections/shops...

It's amazing how well that overlay fits--nice job with the maps! What if instead of Pixar Pier, it's "Animation Pier" or something to that effect? Something that celebrates the entirety of the Disney Animation catalogue? I personally would like to see a couple of unique dark rides added as...

The first step in turning EPCOT into a "city," is to create the Progress City Hotel, allowing guests to stay "in" Walt's Progress City. Imagine being able to hop onto a Peoplemover from the hotel's main building and riding it to the park!

Someday I'll have to share with you my concept which sort of follows this idea. It starts with Progress City Plaza replacing Innoventions Plaza and then essentially brings the worlds of Horizons to life, converting The Land into Mesa Verde, The Seas into Sea Castle, and Space into Alpha...

Couldn't disagree more. Post-1994, Tomorrowland has been about "Yesterday's Tomorrows," or rather "The future that never was." Its focus is more fantasy-driven, bringing guests into a 1930's and 1950's retro sci-fi world. And even prior to 1994, Tomorrowland had more of a "fantasy-tomorrow"...

What to do with Future World? Disney’s desire to move the park away from being about the future is understandable, from an investment standpoint. Technology and culture change at a faster rate than construction equipment moves, and what once felt “futuristic” and modern can quickly become dated...

It is entirely possible that you're able to organize World's Celebration, Discovery, and Nature in a way that I would like. I'm definitely interested in seeing the end result of your re-imagining of the park. Personally, I really dislike the asymmetrical manner in which Imagineers are changing...

Absolutely. What are your thoughts??

I'll bite. There's actually two routes I could see this going: 1) A McDonald's of tomorrow at Communicore. Clunky 80's Robots would fill the restaurant and talk with guests while they eat. A sci-fi looking playground/ball pit sits in the middle of the restaurant. The menus use EPCOT Center...

Probably a long shot/wishful thinking, but does anyone else hope that whatever takes the place of the scrapped Festivals Center 'table' might at least retain the shape of CC/Innoventions West? My biggest problem with the direction Disney took the center of EPCOT is the asymmetry; the park feels...

I couldn't help but notice that all of the examples you listed were built 40+ years ago.

I posted this recently in a thread over in the Imagineering section. It seems relevant to the discussion going on here.

Dude! It's like you read my mind with the Tron/Computer pavilion. I haven't shared my ideas yet, but I was planning on posting something with a similar theme in my EPCOT thread, EPCOT Renaissance! https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/epcot-renaissance.975291/

“If we can bring together the technical know-how of American industry and the creative imagination of the Disney organization, I believe we can build a community that more people will talk about and come to look at than any other area in the world.” – Walt Disney What is EPCOT? Disney once...

I’m not defending the views of the Swan and Dolphin, but if you honestly can’t see a difference between those hotels and a massive blue warehouse, I can’t help you.

And the warehouse is still just as present as it is in the other photos…

I mean, I’d be lying if I told you that I know much about photography, but in my mind the below photo isn’t any better. At all.
