Symbolic difference between the old Epcot in this picture to what we've now seen in the hub. A big difference in how to do open space and Landscaping.View attachment 757608

I can see your flipper in that pic.

Anybody see what happened to the inventors circle (used to be at Innoventions east breezeway in front of the land)?

It’s gone. There are some remnants of it but it’ll likely all be redone soon

The music starting about 23:46 is so good. It's all good, but that piece is wonderful.

They need to shave every unnecessary inch off of Earth Station.

Another unsolicited flip pic from the penguin. Ugh.

Anybody see what happened to the inventors circle (used to be at Innoventions east breezeway in front of the land)?

It's now one of three circles filled with pavers oriented at various angles along the path to The Land.

@MisterPenguin don't stop on the count of @ToTBellHop.

I'm not going to let that two bit concierge stop me!!

I just finished at Bier Garten.heading out to catch the pretty lights.

Remember how I said there was a ton of managers around the new hub? Well, they're everywhere! Everywhere I look all over the park there's someone witha lanyard or big old name tag. With several hundred people with the garbage pickup stick this is going to be the cleanest Epcot will ever be.

Side note: do they no longer play Christmas music at the entrance?

 

[Disney Analyst]

The fact an area was updated, improved (if you agree it has been), which didn't require adding any sort of means of getting money from guests, is astounding.

Sure, carts could be added... but right now, they updated a huge area of Epcot, without requiring a revenue stream to come in from it.

Isn't the entrance cycling through several sets of music? And we saw yesterday the pictures of the red and white candy canes I wonder if that was a Christmas set?

You were at Biergarten? Don't fall into WSL.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

You were at Biergarten? Don't fall into WSL.

Why not? He's a penguin! Nothing to worry about!

Apparently I'm going to miss the flightless bird by 4 days. But I know someone else who will be there when I am....

 

[OSUPhantom]

Listening to a recording of the new entrance music and my goodness is it wonderful. Grand, epic, inquisitive, mysterious, international. I am going to look forward just sitting and enjoying it with a beer. Did Pinar Toprak do this full loop as well as the main anthem? Because if so it makes me very hopeful for Luminous.

It looks pretty, but EPCOT's been a total mess for five years... for this?
