News 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Travel has approached pre-pandemic levels. There was and is no extra surge of everyone who missed a scheduled vacation all suddenly traveling at once overwhelming the tourism industry.

Revenge vacationing is not a thing, despite the data-less echo chamber of the internet saying so.

I think 2021 saw a lot of rescheduled travel…

2023? No…makes no sense.

Travelers travel…non-travelers do not.

No “travelers” are waiting this long to go from a canceled 4/2020 trip.

It’s crushing debt and a declining economy that’s in control of travel now

Bring on the discounts….!

Weeeee!

No announcement from Zach? What's going on?

Lame. Really wanted Rainbow Connection to come back as it was the most visually successful show, in my opinion.

I believe that will still be the soundtrack, with new visuals.

In a terrazzo pit somewhere being told to rub the lotion on his skin lest he get the hose again.

Awfully quiet these days!

Disney has confirmed a Virtual Queue will be used for the Figment Popcorn buckets.



*Editing to correct - this information appears to be wrong.

The Figment Popcorn buckets will reportedly be available via mobile order.

Where's the fun in that?

He's been getting quieter and quieter on Instagram. It's honestly kind of odd.

Probably waiting for the finish of the floor in CommuniCore Hall for pics

Corporate heard how much we were lampooning him online so his social media presence was silenced. I honestly feel like a jerk over this. He’s not a bad guy. Just really cares about tile. Glad someone does, honestly. WDI needs a “tile guy.”

But he still works for WDI.

But he still works for WDI.

He honestly just needed to cut about 50% of the content out of his posts. Like, focus on the thing you're posting about and don't make the long expository statements about EPCOT's state of becoming or whatever. Of course, it's difficult to tell if that was his work or an editor's.

Gosh, that is sad.

Of course, his posts were edited, but the level of earnest toward Epcot is apparently genuine.

Honestly, any post I would make about Epcot would surely be as long-winded, so I really do feel bad for making fun of him. I would be pretty hurt if someone told me to stop because people think my posts are stupid.

That stinks.

It always felt like his posts were filtered through a marketing team with a corporate buzz word fetish.

They should let him just post without the filter. Genuine enthusiasm can break through online when it sounds natural. Otherwise, it often feels like you are trying to convince both yourself and the reader of what you are saying.
