News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[haveyoumetmark]

Love watching stuff like this but I agree that it’s not done. I’m kind of disappointed at how they budget cut this thing into oblivion and built more stages and bars. Though at least TT’s continued work signals that the saga isn’t over yet.

Gotta hold out hope that one day SSE will get its budget and work, and The Land will emerge into a beautiful butterfly from its current state as a Westfield Shopping Town food court.

I wonder how they will gloss over the stuff that was proposed but cut for whatever reasons.

National Geographic is releasing a new special titled EPCOT Becoming: Inside the Transformation on April 29, 2024.

Here’s the synopsis:

EPCOT BECOMING showcases the reimagining of EPCOT® for a new generation. Watch as Walt Disney World Resort teams rise to the challenge of bringing the constantly evolving park into the future, from creating an innovative new coaster to exploring the wonder of water and culminating with the cancellation of most of the projects due to budget cuts including the disastrous : “Luminous The Symphony of Us.” the shortest running EPCOT Fireworks show of all time that ate the budget for half of the planned park reimagining. Wheeeeeeeeee.....

I am hoping they spend a lot of time talking about floors and The Zach...the face of the reimagining....

[ChewbaccaYourMum]

Disney has announced CommuniCore Hall and Plaza open on June 10, 2024.

This obviously confirms why F&G festival ends on 5/27. There will be new activities (such as Encanto show) surrounding Communicore Hall during the summer.

I see people are upset about an Encanto sing-along being there, but in my opinion it (any entertainment) will add life and energy to the surrounding gardens. I think this will be a nice gathering spot for people to come, sit, relax and enjoy the day.

If only there was a specific area of Epcot that could provide a more cohesive integration thematically with this IP insertion…

Well I’m stumped.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

I was truly hoping they would have an original show featuring sharks and some jumping...

At this point, it seems the best thematic fit I can come up with.

 

[JordanBach_95]

I can see why it will only be for a limited time, there's less than twenty people watching the show.

 

[monothingie]

So let me understand this.

They took Inoventions West which had been sitting as an underutilized flex space with plenty of potential, tore it down, and then replaced it an smaller yet more “hip” and expensive building, to do the exact same thing, all at the same time, and most importantly, ruining the symmetry of the entire area?

I bet lots of people got promoted for this!

 

[JustInTime]

I think it looks great.

Well that’s certainly not where I expected that to go…

It's for the kids, we all know kids don't care about a college campus grayed dried concrete park with home good metal furnishings.
