Future World is dead, officially. It's "neighborhoods" now. World Celebration, World....something....something

I honestly don't get the change to the neighborhoods. The new neighborhoods add unnecessary confusion since there isn't a real distinction between them. Future world never really had that problem since it categorized the entire front half of the park as one big section (which I'm sure many still do). Also how are you gonna have a Community Of Tomorrow and not have it tie into the future in some way?

Future World as a name had to go because it was the Tomorrowland problem all over again. The future kept becoming the present and the tech showcased in Future World was becoming the norm. Still think World Discovery could have worked for the whole of Future World

Community = Neighborhood?

I didn't love that idea originally, but I've come around. I think that would have been simplest, using the colors to add some thematic change from one area to the other.

If they wanted the neighborhoods, I still think Epcot Center (SSE, Spine, TT and IMAG - focused on classic Epcot inspiration and innovation), World Discovery (M:S, Guardians and something planetary for WoL - tied around space exploration, real and fantasy) and World Nature (Land, Seas, JoW - natural world) would have made more sense. But, they need more separation between the areas so it's a clearer distinction.

As it was done, it feels separated on paper in a conference room, not reality of a physical space.

Not sure if anyone said this here but the new white channels they put it a few weeks ago is not a LED diffuser so I guess those ground lights are going away unless its a temporary cover cause the previous one got damaged. It doesn't look temporary the way they glued them in though.

That excuse really only applies to innoventions, communicore and a couple scenes in attractions since their purpose was to showcase the future and what it could bring. Even so these scenes and exhibits could be updated to showcase updated tech. Most attractions in future world avoided this problem by either focusing on the history of a subject and not the future (SSE, WOM, and some of UOE and horizons) or primarily focus on the content of the subject itself (LWTL, MS, TT 1.0 and JII)
