I have a question about the stage at the Communicore...
-How often is there going to be entertainment on that stage? All the time or just during festivals?
Now it has walls up yet AGAIN almost over the entire area to replace concrete, that they should have replaced before they took the walls down, DUH! Now they have a wall maze that guests have to navigate. I and many others are disappointed that they did not incorporate the Dancing Fountain in a new form in the gardens area. That fountain brought many happy faces from guests. They really screwed up Epcot just to put trees and concrete in! I don't think that guests surveys said that!? It looks so BLAH in that area now! And may I add that it took Disney 5 years just to do what they did! Absolutely UNEXCEPTABLE! SOMEONE else has built a new theme park in 5 years!

Yup! and on TOP of that you really want to know what will suck even more.. ?
-" People are gonna be comparing AND contrasting both World Celebration with Celestial Park!

I repeat no fountains vs fountains... in a real world EPIC shows you CAN have both☆ and a splash fountain pad!!

Why does Disney sell alcohol? We all have seen the drunken frenzies, the fights, etc. I DON'T want to believe that Disney is that low to just sell alcohol for a cheap buck while dampening other guests experience!? Maybe they should move the festivals to Disney Springs? This way the locals can enjoy it as well as guests away from the parks! They many get more attendance if it were out of the parks?

Why does Disney allow smokers to smoke on block the beautiful international gateway Parisian Bridge tunnel path? Why does the Magic Kingdom smoking section is on the beautiful Grand Floridian walking path walkway... You spend over $900.00 for one night just to be infumed by toxic air when the convenience of that walking path was for you supreme guests!
Disney Springs shouldn't have drinking at the marketplace or Town Center side.. It's societies fault for creating the whole drinking around the world motto and yet Disney doesn't care on limit per day...only exception be samples and one choice to drink regular size.. on top of biergarden...yikes! People need to learn and remoto World Showcase as traveling, eating and pastries around the world!

It isn't World Showcase's fault it's immature that someone has to do an 11 challenge what someone else just did.

I quite enjoy sitting having a beer at Epcot thanks. Not everyone is a drunken fool

Partially because it's a large part of the culture of various countries, which Disney also found when they built Disneyland Paris and tried to open without selling wine.

As much as the original concept for the “new” Epcot was a big departure, it was definitely a step up and more comparable to that Epic shot.

This is absolutely true but the issue is that (and i dont really like aligning myself with that "Universal>Disney" narrative) with Universal what you see in the concept art is what you get. The park we saw in concept art in 2019 is the same exact park we'll be able to visit in 2025 (it even looks better than I imagined). There's no "what could have been" or "(insert really cool thing) was planned but was cut due to (covid/budget cuts/unknown but probably stupid reason)". You can't ever trust Disney with the first piece of concept art they release cause the finished product ends up looking drastically different. Sometimes it still looks good but other times it makes you wish they didn't release the original concept art at all

I do want to add that to compare this project to Epic Universe is... silly... to say the least. I more so agree with the comparison in the context of budget cuts and creative changes (or even how long this crap took). Other than that a redo of the hub for an existing park is going to be dramatically different and perhaps less ambitious than the creation of an entirely new world class theme park

The Hub of EPCOT is not EPCOT's only "park feature." There are acres of park-like areas in front of the front-gate pavilions extending to and surrounding all of Showcase Lagoon. EPCOT is a giant park-like park.

The Old Hub had trouble presenting itself as a park-like park with all that concrete that engulfed everything, even the first 6 feet of the FoN.

Here's the park in EPCOT. Only 76 acres tho...
