Since China is TWDC’s best business partner. I am sure the refurbishment of the China 360 is going forward.
Besides, it’s a movie, it requires only a few cast members to operate it on a daily basis.
No just stating a reality.

Assuming the sky in yours is the same color as mine, which part of the process are we talking about here: building a theme park, a themed land, an attraction for said land, or the building of tall-top tables that are shoved into an existing attraction for another food and beverage location in a park that positively stuffed with them?
If it wasn’t successful at Epcot, more exec decisions like more food and bev options , festivals, events would not be increasing.

Oh, right. Great point. The new film’s only been around for less than three years and has had its location taken over I can’t recall how many times, so a flop it is! Better shove another place to extract money in there because it’s not like people already paid to get in the place to enjoy some attractions!
Heck, let’s strip Spaceship Earth down and put one of those conveyer belt sushi places in there instead! And we can repurpose the theatre in China and make it a quick service egg roll shop! See, they’re both round and the food offered there is round - there’s that Disney thought put into the theme yet again!
….
I’m think I’m in the mood for Chinese or Asian food or something.
Both cases. They lobbied, possibly paid, to update from the 1st version to Martin Short's version, and by the time it was aging (rather badly), they heavily lobbied (and finacned much of) the new one, which notably, is less comedic than the one it replaced. At least so I was told.

I rather enjoyed the new one. It’s hard not to—the two narrators are very charming.
Wild guess, the exec retreat at WDW was planning for the eventual company layoffs ?

Interesting they would all travel to this event - then chapek a week or so later specifically mentions no more company travel for meetings & that all meetings should now be done by zoom….

I wish they had retreated farther.
Oh you thought that applied to THEM?
Wild thought, to save Disney money, execs fly coach instead of first class moving forward.

We were lucky enough to be bumped up to a one bedroom suite (I'm trying to remember what we were wearing and look like that for next trip) - it was super nice.
Didn't love CSR as a whole, but really enjoyed Gran Destino.
I think perspective matters….very old motel style resort……brand new massive tower…. The resort has the same problem as all the moderates it’s too big and spread out. You feel like you walk miles to get to anything. Unless of course your in the tower looking down at the peasantry.
