News New Spaceship Earth Lounge Coming to EPCOT

[jrhwdw]

I can't wait for Spaceship Earth: The Circle of Life, featuring Simba from the live action story. Hopefully there's a meet and greet with a live action Simba in Project Tomorrow.

Honestly!!!!!!

Honestly!!!!!!

In all seriousness, there is zero chance the ride doesn't have IP.

That is so wrong. It'll be Mufasa. Synergy with the (awful-looking) movie!! Helllloooo!!!!

Was IP the plan for SSE before COVID?? I'm just asking.

Off Topic....I can't believe Mufasa is Live Action!!!! it should be Animated IMO!!!!!!!!

Yes, though to be fair, it wasn't a full-blown IP takeover, at least based on what I heard at the time.

Early Summer... Very curious. Now I'm wondering if SSE5 is next in line for EPCOT or if something skipped ahead....

I believe it closes once TT3.0 opens.

Do you think TT3 opens before or after Destination D23?

 

[ToTBellHop]

Do you think TT3 opens before or after Destination D23?

Before. But they may want a stagger before SSE closes. You know how reliable updated rides are…could be another TBA.

Any luck TT3 opens the first half of May??

Your ONLY shot would be getting snuck into a CM preview, but even that's unlikely to be happening yet. As someone going the first week of May, I feel your pain.

I don’t think so.

The way this was explained to me—they want it to open early in August to set Joshie up at Destination D23 with, “have you been on our newly-reimagined Test Track? Isn’t it great?!?! Well, we have more Magic coming to Epcot, so I’m excited to announce…”

What this lounge needs is a good lounge singer, mixed with IP…win-win…!!!

Gotcha, thx. My wife were there opening day for TT2.0 (which was a sh!tsh0w rollout. Hoping to do it this time too. Maybe they'll have SUPER EARLY DVC previews... lol

Maybe buy a $1.5 million home in Golden Oak?

Without "unexpected delays", I'd personally expect around the July 4 holiday week, if I were the wagering kind.

They just wanted to be clear that they don’t mean Memorial Day.

Yep. People should remember that Disney tends to use meteorological seasons, since they are hard-and-fast definitions. "Early summer" means sometime after June 21, and what better time than just before the now-slow July 4 week to try and drum up business?

August 8 is “fall y’all” so gotta be by then!
