I mean, I understand that those buildings were special for many, but I also think that they were mostly vacant and smelled absolutely terrible. I also understand that destroying the buildings in “World Nature” makes sense because, well. Nature. I think the main thing is that I am interested In how the pavilions will reveal themselves when this is completed.

One building (or half of one depending on how you view the West Innoventions) is being removed on the future World Nature area, and that building isn't even fully in the World Nature plot as far as I understand.

Journey of water will be the start of world nature while the festival area is supposed to be world celebration

But your phone can't recreate Scene 17 from World of Motion (the traffic jam). Several pages of Marc Davis: In His Own Words are dedicated to the "Transportation Pavilion", with lovely paintings of the various gags. IPCOT won't even try something like this:

You seemed to think journey of water wasn’t fully in world nature

Another thing I hate about the "you could just look it up on your phone"...
If people have shown us anything it's that they're far more likely to use their phones to spread conspiracy theories, post cat and **** pics and take videos to shame others. People are too easily distracted to do extensive research on a major topic on their own.
People are far more likely to engage in a subject matter when it's presented in a reassuring, inspirational and impressive environment, surrounded by others sharing that same curiosity. That was the power of EPCOT. It's also why people want to see theater or WDW or exotic destinations in person, even though they can watch 4K videos at home. There's an intangible quality to being there and seeing something in its proper scale and context.
There's a reason why what's left of old EPCOT (Living with the Land, Spaceship Earth, The American Adventure) still has appeal.

No, journey of water doesn’t take up the entire Northwest plot.

Journey of Water in that location is like putting Tomorrowland's Concourse of Planets just inside the gates of the Animal Kingdom park... It is so fundamentally wrong.. They must be hiding the part of the puzzle that connects it and makes sense out of this location....
The Journey of Water, leading guests on a *journey* to the *Seas* is thematically incongruent?
I can't think of an outdoor attraction that would be more congruent in front the The Seas.

While I'm not a huge fan of the Journey of Water plan, I think the Nemo theming at the Seas is more thematically incongruent with the rest of the pavilion and the Journey of Water than the Journey of Water is with the Seas itself.
Journey of Water would make a lot more sense leading to the original Living Seas pavilion design than it does leading to a Finding Nemo ride.
It’d be better if it was in front of The Seas. It’d be even better if it was in another park.

I feel like that’s what the plan originally was, but then a lack of physical space in front of the pavilion reared it’s head.
