News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[MisterPenguin]

This is interesting in the walkway between journey of water and new communicore there is this circular pavement work which has a band around it which I presume is up lights. This is in front of the building that on the other side is the bathroom for Journey of water.

No but it was always Innoventions until the pavilion loop took over. We don’t have a separate entrance loop, however.

I thought the pavilion loops for Land and Seas were removed a while back for the Spotify playlist. Are they still lumped in with the rest of Celebration?

Yes

Yes

disappointing..

I said the same. I think a beer garden thematically appropriate would’ve worked well. It feels like it needs something.

Yeah. My whole feeling is this exactly. It feels like they built a beautiful beer garden.... without the beer lmao.

That seems to be just for today. According to MDX they’re back to the normal number of shows starting tomorrow.

Thank god

The bypass by the Seas is still open.

I’m surprised the flower beds don’t have the low barriers, I thought they learned decades ago that guests will walk through them without a fence.

There isn't any bleeding of the sounds or music from Journey of water bleeding into the hub. I'm going to into journey of water and see if any of the Hub music is bleeding into it.

And there is no bleeding of the Hub music into journey of order.

Also, speaking of Journey of water. The Unscrupulous is also the very gullible, because the water in Journey of water is not heated.

Plus, when the jammiters came out, they just did one piece. Not their full show.

They may not know but they have still been negatively impacted by the project. It consumed significant resources, particularly with regard to aspects that never made sense and which were eventually abandoned (mainly the festival center).

Not to mention all those families from Denver we hear about making their once-in-a-lifetime trips to have all that walled off for years.

 

[ChewbaccaYourMum]

I think the plan is for the festivals the booths will be nearby and then with Comunicore opening they will have the live music so definitely think the idea is get your food from various booths, grab a seat, listen to some music, etc - part of the overall story/flow

Yeah I agree with you, just feels like the closest festival booths are not that close, but still you're probably right with their thinking.

 

[MrPromey]

Correct. Luckily for TT 3.0, it has officially been announced / hasn’t been cancelled (yet).

Oh, it's got a sponsor to pay for it so 3.0 will happen.

Neat little twitter thread:

Side note, I find the origins and development of every Disney park fascinating, but EPCOT's evolution is of particular interest. The architecture, the scale, the mission...everything.

 

[MisterPenguin]

I found the fountain!!

 

[tparris]

For anyone in the park wanting to catch the nighttime lighting package, the first show on SSE each night has been at 5:40 the past few weeks.

This is what the Disney parks blog states about "said" statue..

I’d like to take a rubber hose to whoever wrote that pile of horse dung.

It's nice. It's fine. It needs a fountain. That's it. Nothing big or crazy, just a nice water feature in the hub to break up the greenery and concrete.

Need to see it at night. It should be absolutely perfect then at least.

Thoughts:

Almost acts like the Oasis at DAK, gives you a chance to breathe and settle into the park

Will feel more alive once CommuniCore opens and the outdoor stage comes into use

Definitely missing a small water feature, feels like one could “easily” be added to middle garden if they really wanted.

Generally an improvement over the concrete wasteland from before

Would mess up the ‘Gina sculpture.
