I take it they are getting rid of those small ones next to the Refreshment Port?

I don’t believe so

 

[NiarrNDisney]

I don’t believe so

Seems like a missed opportunity not to take this time while reimagining Epcot to take both structures (Refreshment Port and restrooms) down and build Canada an actual CS restaurant.

......Saw the article about the Club Cool merchandise fixtures being put in MouseGear for now.

Is that the only thing they are preserving from Club Cool? Or are there plans to reintroduce the beverage samples somewhere? Anyone know? I'm already missing my shot of Beverly!

All we know is that Club Cool should be returning in one way or another.

As World of Coke.

Maybe.

Similar to 16 oz Disney Springs? Or going the full 44 oz Atlanta versioin?

 

[MisterPenguin]

As World of Coke.

Maybe.

I thought that's what they called the executive suites where some of the recent decisions have been made.

Any news if the Starbucks is going somewhere else in the park? My niece is going down this weekend and she wants to buy a travel mug.

Back at the 2017 Expo they said Epcot is a place where the Real becomes Fantastic and the Fantastic becomes Real. I had previously only heard this simplification referenced by Tony Baxter and he explicitly broke this up to differentiate Epcot and Magic Kingdom. He said Epcot is where the Real becomes Fantastic and Magic Kingdom is where the Fantastic becomes Real. In short this means that Epcot was where they would take the real world (be it cultures or science or whatever) and make it feel like fantasy. Alternatively the Magic Kingdom is where we made the world of Fantasy feel real.

I guess he didn't read the memo that the internet says customers don't care about guiding visions and principals.. they just want the new stuff. And why so many fail to grasp what differentiated Disney and its creative strategies.
