News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

You have admitted you haven't been in years, so how would you know what it smells like?

The one time he went the smell reminded him of his mother’s basement

Adding my vote for @marni1971 as the new narrator of Spaceship Earth!

The more and more I see the central area cleared out, the more and more I see a wasted opportunity. I think the new designs may turn out to be interesting, but simply clearing out that entire middle area - no pin central - no Starbucks - no bump out for Mouse Gear - makes me think they missed a big opportunity here. A sleek modern central spine could have really put EPCOT in good shape and included most or all of the items they are putting in.

Sleek and modern is the last thing I think of when looking at the millennium adds they are eliminating.

Never had a basement but the building had all the smells of one. The HVAC system apparently wasn't designed for the current crowds.

My nose memory is considerable.

What on God’s green earth does that have to do with anything

There are candle companies that make a mint on Disney park fragrances. Pretty sure Innoventions West has never been considered. It is the Beverly of Disney odors.

“Apparently”

And you know this by your numerous and extensive visits to WDW, and Epcot in particular, in the past several years?

I’m still failing to see how this relates to the thread topic

When was the last time we've seen this view of Future World (R.I.P) ?

 

[WDWFREAK53]

That view really makes me appreciate Spaceship Earth even more. Good riddance to those poles and tarps.

 

[The Grand Inquisitor]

Yep, he is. Nice little interview. I know it's frowned upon to share the site here but since it's @marni1971...

Awesome interview! Marni is a great guy!

Completely agree. One of the absolute best in the Disney community.

They put up those canopies for the millennium celebration back in 99.

They actually went up in ‘94 when Innoventions Plaza opened
