Well, if there is a positive, its that we get an epic view of Spaceship Earth and its rear show building, at least for now.

they designed those ends of the crescents as windowless backstage

Actually, they didn’t.

Actually, they didn’t.

If I remember correctly, they were only windowless once Innoventions came along and they covered them up.

Can someone please change the "Evolving Epcot" subcategory to "Devolving Epcot" please?

It is evolving, just backwards.

Indeed. Central, Travelport and Futurecom were all full height glazing facing north.

Wow it is totally down. What a change. Is Dreamers point going in part of this area or is it going farther up by Spaceship Earth with Moana behind it?

I thought the whole Dreamers Point thing was also relying on the SSE building being overhauled/demoed and rebuilt?

And over here instead of this big towering building that can hold technological wonders and sights to inspire generations with the progress of the world we will havvveee... A SHRUBERRY!

(and a little path over here)

edit - It just occurs to me now that with all of Iger's ties to Apple, including being on the board and working close with their devices in the park... Apple should have been a perfect fit in one of those buildings.

Official Disney has mentioned it after the reimagining post-COVID rereimagining.

The one thing that has disappeared from post-COVID mentionings is the Wishing Tree.

Had Jobs lived things could have been different.

It’s like Thanos came and snapped half of CommuniCore away.

It was, once.

 

[brb1006]

Now I can say it.

Absolute idiots.

Wait until they finally begin construction.

Imagine having a huge (okay, maybe two) show buildings already designed to fit into the park that are waiting for something to built inside of them.

But they're demolished for a glorified pathway with some water spray.

Hey at least they can save on A/C costs now! Also, who needs storm cover?

this,,,, probably making everyone walk all the way around the water thing, and it will look like a mcdonalds landscaped drive through all the way around it. Kind of like the way the temporary pooh playground did in fantasyland, and pretty much the way it looks walking through the paths in star wars land. just long round about landscaped paths nothing more....is that fair to say? I dont see them doing anything else here with this. just plop things down disney with no rhyme or reason anymore

I see the Moana thing as an IP infused version of that section of Project Gemini. I think that was the name of it- I have it somewhere. But there was a rainforest in the area etc.

Here it is - when Future World would become Discoveryland. Here’s the link: https://insightsandsounds.blogspot.com/2017/03/behold-theme-park-sphere.html

Interesting. Promote each Pixar movie in the theatre and change the ride each time a new flick comes out.
