"Finally, CommuniCore Hall lives up to its pre-opening promise of being an engaging part of an EPCOT festival"

I couldn't agree more. "Finally"

This is definitely a step in the right direction. I will agree that this display within CommuniCore Hall is engaging. I can't say that the overall Hall lives up to that by a long shot.

At least the pig chose high quality lip stick in a quite attractive shade this go round.

I was about to say the same thing. Now the real test is their being able to keep it that way with different themes or will it eventually revert back to an open warehouse.

All they had to do was tear down a couple of buildings, let it sit empty for a couple of years and then cobble together another generic building, to get...exactly they had before.

This is a proper way to outfit Communicore Hall.

FotH was a small step forward, this is where it needs to be.

Set expectations so low, that when Disney does the absolute bare minimum, the cupcake brigade's heads explode.

It's a small area with a couple of exhibits and props. This isn't anything more than that. The one thing they did wisely was to darken down and drape over the surroundings to hide the cafeteria feel of the space.

Remember when the festival center was in the WoL pavilion? This is nothing compared to that.

To be fair, my standard operating procedure when visiting WDW is to set expectations as low as possible.

I was just thinking that. I remember at F&W the WOL Pavilion had a lot to offer guests.

Did you want an omnimover moving around guests inside the space?

It's a hall man.

This appears to be a response to “The Wicked Experience” at Universal, which by all reports has been a huge success and is moving a ton of merchandise.

The 2017 F&W Festival Center at the WoL Pavilion had interactive demos, exhibitors, classes, food, and entertainment. It took a dilapidated abandoned building and made it interesting. Why does everything new have to be done to the minimum ?
