Forgive me but why do we need new background music?

Because it’s Epcot and it should have original music at the park entrance due to its 41 year tradition of having its own original music in lieu of Disney songs. The last loop was made up of movie music (though of relatively obscure origin unlike, say, The Land’s present loop).

Because Disney wanted new background music?

It's different, but I like it .... Obviously a lot of change today but I think once the dust settles Epcot will be a really nice place to visit and it will feel "normal"

Will the loop have any past music? Crossing Continents always put me in my EPCOT mood.

I want to hear the full new loop and I don’t care how but

That I can absolutely understand. I personally lament the loss of the FoN, and really wish there was at least some kind of small fountain or water feature to somewhat compensate its removal, but as a whole I think the area looks quite nice. There are a few people on Twitter responding to every single post about the gardens acting like their lives are over because of this lol but I guess they’re generally in the vocal minority. Either way, I’m stoked to finally step foot into the central area tomorrow for the first time in almost 5 years.

that's also another reason....5 years to built this. Should have took them less than 85% of that time for what this is.

At minimum, this really should have opened 10/1/22 for the 40th. Still would’ve been too long but missing that date was ridiculous.

According to X, the new BGM has the new Epcot Anthem.

Yeah it seems like the theme is interwoven into the area loop and then it has the main theme.

I’m curious how long the loop is in its entirety. Guess I’ll find out soon

 

[jrhwdw]

As I expected, a New Guidemap is out!

Maybe only at rope drop? It's not roped off on the other end

I believe that bypass is being removed from general guest use.
