Maybe a cast member keeps sneaking in and turning on the loop and it runs until someone else hears and goes and changes it back. Kind of like two kids fighting over the radio channel.
In addition to those two, and what was mentioned, which was...
- gorgeous new fountain and welcoming front entrance
- Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure
- Creations Shop
- The lights on Spaceship Earth
- Space 220 Restaurant
- Connections Café & Eatery
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
- Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana
- Walt the Dreamer
There is also in addition to the above (not saying they're all winners...):
- New Land movie
- New Canada movie
- BatB singalong
- refreshed infrastructure for the entrance lot
- New Japan restaurant
- Coco attraction in Mexico lobby
- refresh of Test Track (still to come)
- Green side of M:S
- the parkification of the hub
- Duck Tales thing

Not gonna lie when they spell it out like this it just gets even funnier. Seven years and what they're most proud of are two new rides (with only one being a net gain), new planters and a redressed fountain in the front, some lights, two restaurants (with only one being a net gain, again), a kids play area, a statue, and remodeling the gift shop.
Of course I am not one to talk, because that redressed fountain and some lights just so happen to be the best of what they listed off lol

Exactly, a lot of people forget just how much was added since 2020 (Mission Space Green was 2017 but the start of the overhaul) that it was quite a major project. We may have only gained three attractions with the projects (Remy, Guardians and Journey of Water), this project was a lot more about improving Epcot's aesthetics compared to the concrete that was everywhere pre-2019.

Yes I agree but they really need to stop shoving Encanto down our throats. The movie was mediocre at best and I personally thought it was awful. Not everyone likes everything and that's ok. In my opinion i would tell Imagineering to you know...make something original.

Am I the only one annoyed when they mention Largest transformation in it's history. Perhaps it's a fact but I mean it didn't turn out epic as the Epcot Experience simply because they budget cut many things, many things never came and on a sad note we lost wonderful things all because of something they couldn't maintain. It's shocking how they wanted to show this transformation is going to be huge just by tearing everything in the middle all at once and therefore majority of those walls for years. They should of done this in phases that way if the festival building wasn't coming then half of innoventions east could of been kept and renewed just like Creations hence keeping symmetry. Fountain of Nations could of been last thing to remove just put walls around it but no they crushed everyone with emotion by tearing it down first so we could see ground zero in front our eyes. Transformation is supposed to be major and big, same like saying Harmonious being the largest fireworks disney ever done when it didn't much for the firework aspect and now with Luminous they won't even mention it.
Not having Play Pavilion, Marry Poppins, and a greater center of Epcot with an amazing atmosphere is what will always feel not complete to me. Ratatouille expansion and Spaceship Earth and Monorail lights are the best things to me from this expansion or make better lol!

Yes, it should be, except for the Test Track update but that's not officially part of the "2019-2024 Epcot transformation", just something extra

Unfortunate…it was the most complete as a park from about 1988-99
But that was a long time ago

I went last in 2017, and sure, I was only 7 so I don't remember all too much, but based on photos and what of it I can remember, other than Illuminations and FoN going away, it's been entirely positive IMO. I hated the concrete and barely-any-shade aesthetic, and I (again, going off photos and videos) like this much, much more. I think the plants are beautiful, even if the center planter does look a bit like... the female body... but the plants are gorgeous; the points of light are stunning; the France expansion is wonderfully themed and entirely positive; GotG is a wonderful coaster and excellently themed despite the giant show building; Space 220 alone is worth the price of going back from what I've seen; the new entry plaza finally looks like a theme park, not a graveyard; Walt statues are always a plus, even though it looks like he's on the toilet; Journey of Water is gorgeous; and the concept art for the new Test Track looks much better than what we have now.
Bob thanks you. In fact, Bob is depending on you.
