All Epcot, All the Time (aka Has Disney given up on SSE?)

[EPCOT Explorer]

Just wait until next week

:lookaroun

:xmas:

I hope, right? :lol:

Should we count SSE as the longest refurb ever in the history of WDW? 20K doesn't count because it never reopened.

YES.:brick:

Not really; it was announced to CMs on September 8th 1994 that it would not reopen.

I think the honour still goes to Test Track.

Ahh...But at least that didn't open half done. 1st Soft Opening EVER.:lookaroun

It never fell off; it just got pushed back (and it's still slow).

Nice to know what the future of WDWMagic is. Will JII Ever Open?:lookaroun:lol:

I hope, right? :lol:

I'm going next Tuesday...I'm hoping to see *something*.

Aaaaaactully...This reminds me...

Picked up a WWYC Park Map in the Disney Store yesterday, and in the EPCOT section it DID say experience SSE with a new enhanced finale. I don't know if that means the work that's going on now, or the refurb as a whole. I just thought is odd that they did mention the finale.

Your thoughts?

Cool. :sohappy: I never fully believe anything until some marketer mentions it. Then you know it's serious.

 

[Disneyson 1]

^^Yeah. that sounds pretty good, with that whole finale business and all.

 

[Mr.EPCOT]

Since I went to such an effort to create this in the PML...

Listen and you'll hear the heartbeat of a Universe teeming with force
See all the forms and the faces of nature taking its course
And feel all the wonderful motion flowing through things far and near
Nature will share her secrets, when when we are ready to hear
ENERGY, these are a few of your faces
glowing in timeless places
bringing our lives new graces
ENERGY, there is no living without you
we must keep learning about you
now is the time to find how to
ENERGY, you are profound
you make the world go 'round and 'round...

You Make the World Go 'Round...

You Make the World Go 'Round...

You Make the World Go 'Round...

International Gateway is an underappreciated wonder. I could spend a day there, just browsing the shop and watching the boats sail past.

It's great because it's right there on the cusp of something grand. A threshold.

Eh...It's okii. I get more of that feeling in the entrance plaza. Even with LaL.

NICE.

But kind of sad: " Two concepts, 'constantly changing, above politics' "

WS has been kind of stagnant for a few years now besides a few updates to a couple of films.

I know...EPCOT needs change.

World Showcase the MOST!

Really? I am quite content with WS. It needs something new, true, but it has not strayed from it's purpose...

Future World on the other hand...:dazzle:

The Main Entrance Plaza is majestically sublime.
International Gateway is understatedly wondrous.

I suppose...It really doesn't do anything to me though. You just walk out and BOOM. WS. There's no build up.:shrug:

It would do a lot more for me if the Gateway had some sort of TTA style people mover that served the boardwalk resorts, the Swan and Dolphin and DHS.

Just a thought.

That's an idea.
