News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[Fear]

Can't wait for the loud music, empty beer cups, discarded food containers, and chairs strewn everywhere in this area once the Epcot Concert Hall is open! (Or do we even have to wait that long?)

I'm not sure straight up ignoring the work of custodial cast members is a good look.

What's the deal with the walls next to Imagination where the Disney100 mural is? Any timeline on those coming down/what's going to be behind them?

I just meant that it was going to get parroted ad infinitum.

Ah, sorry! Was grouping you in with some of the other people in this thread who seem actively hostile towards anyone missing a fountain.

No one who knows is saying.

Oh, no. I myself would like one even if I don’t think the central planter is the right place. Just funny to hear everyone on every stream armchair Imagineer it like it’s a novel thought.

Except of course when the person sits next to him you have a perfectly framed shot on a full bench vs a group of people sitting oddly far to the left on a long platform that has well defined endpoints.

But yeah, other than that it’s exactly the same thing.

LOL Keep trying...
This shot isn't taken from the perspective of the person who is actually taking the photograph of the subjects.

Celebrating symmetry by being off-center? That's certainly... a choice.

You just don’t get it - those people on the left being off the platform and rammed against the wall and those to the right on the platform with plenty of room is inspired genius!

And the building behind being off center? And the slope of the wall being different behind each of the groups? Perfection!

Honestly, OCD triggers are fun to me. Some believe that it's thier way or no way instead of just seeing it as it exists and accept it. You like it or you don't, move on.

I didn't notice these yesterday...

A media member did ask one of the imagineers in an interview about Walt being off center. They basically said people don't typically sit in the center of the bench. They don't believe Walt would have.

I can't say I disagree with that. I don't ever sit in the middle of a bench. You also do become more aligned with the background when you sit next to him especially if with multiple people.

I don't believe they were in any videos I saw yesterday either. If I recall correctly, they match the Festival of the Holidays topiaries in the courtyard, so maybe they'll be slowly adding Festival of the Holidays decor as they go.

Who believes they can keep up with slightly-inebriated festival goers/locals? Trust me, I’m the first to recognize good CM’s when I’m there.

Hopefully a temporary thing while they work some logistics out?



Were there issues yesterday with light level?

This is essentially a chill spot in a park with a ton happening. Think your local park or Central Park. A spot to sit and relax, maybe with the food or beverage from a Festival booth. I'm a big fan. I do think it could use a booth or two maybe and in time I could see that.

This fantastic photo will look great in the Soarin' Around the World update 2024.

Do you know what makes that picture look so good? It’s the absence of all those blinking lights on Spaceship Earth.

There were times last night when it was fairly dark in the area.

A shame, hopefully they can install some other lighting to keep the walkways safe, and allow the pillars to partake in the show.

I doubt they would build them with color-changing capabilities only to disable them after one day. It's probably either an issue they're working on or they're re-programming some of the very dark sequences to add light as needed.

The beacons are a wonderful addition and it’s nice they mix it up with and without them.
