I've read it's 2 hours drive or 1.5 hours on public transport (I assume train). It's about 60 miles.

Wow. I think you've jumped the shark a bit there. Test Track v1.0 was not worthy of a Disney theme park environment. Okay.... I hope v3.0 satisifes you and is far enough from real R&D that it doesn't feel too realistic.

You're so young, bless!

Yep, the 1.0 video is dated, however the industrial look and the warehouse and testing facility etc... it's meant to look like that, it's called theming! That bit isn't particularly dated, it's actually been very well done and another example of where Disney excels. I've often admired the PA...

The return of Future World! Just waiting for the flags now. But I'm not convinced this is what people wanted rectifying in the new hub. Can't be due to guest feedback, surely.

And I think they should stay away from new lighting technology for the moment.

Indeed, I think that's what I was getting at. De-90s the colour and neon and I think you have a good internal structure that is useful, fits the existing design language, and is interesting. I don't know how the capacity of Connections compares with Electric Umbrella but the upper floor added at...

Oddly enough, Electric Umbrella (and before it, Stargate), Odyssey, Cosmic Rays, Tomorrowland Terrace have the fitting aesthetic I think. The former two obviously already fitting with the EPCOT design language. I don't know what exact style this is, I'm calling it retro futuristic, and IMO it...

I could almost, almost, get behind that.

I suspect AI might have been used. Contemporary school cafeteria design with natural light Or here's a real office cafeteria. https://officesnapshots.com/2023/01/13/almirall-office-cafeteria-barcelona/ Or how about this...

Yes, I saw that. Disney has 5-year plans, Universal has century long plans. Take THAT Disney lol!

Thank you!

Are there exit/entry doors at various points in the wings so, for example, if you're at the far end of the east wing closest to EPCOT you can exit there and get back in instead of walking to and from the lobby area? I guess there must be for safety reasons but are they general purpose exits...

It's a bit odd becasue Disney capitalised on the oft-requested or "nicer" rooms by offering them as a separate category for a higher price. But maybe price rises across the board are masking that apparent loss of income!

Yes, this is happening. https://blogmickey.com/2025/04/walt-disney-world-moderate-room-category-name-change-2026/ I'm not quite sure what this means for each resort, is it really just referring to location? And in that case, does it mean rooms closer to lobby (which preferred has always been)...

Having just seen the 4th wall breaking episode 2 and watching some fan YT videos, I have a sneaking suspicion that...

It's still going to be called Test Track (it's Test Track in the new logo and on all concept art released so far). The ride is explicitly stated as leaning towards R&D (in the most recent Imagineering video about the new wrap for the cars). It's never been said that it's an homage to WoM (the...

Again, I don't find Matterhorn to be too rough to enjoy. And I don't think many people at all, if any, need a chiropractor after riding either of these. I don't particularly like rough rides at all and yes, there are some rides that I don't ride because I personally find them uncomfortable, but...

One needs breakfast at some point.

Any my 2018 invoice for 7 nights at Pop Century, including flights. It says Magical Extras 2017 presumably because I booked it in 2017. Similarly, I got 14-7 and the Value resort dining deal which isn't a full dining plan but just 1 QS meal per night. (It says Breakfast Meal but was advised it...
