News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

Oh? Might this have to do with an Imagination overhaul?

Rumors aside, I’m shocked Figment isn’t being prominently featured in the new CommuniCore lineup. I know he has his own pavilion, but still.

Less ride more Imageworks/general construction/minor tech updates.

Willing to bet Figment moves to Communicore Hall within a year and a half if what I heard holds true.

Not unless they shift him to Mickey's former Magic Eye Theater Spot..They are so desperate to keep the Disney+ 3d Snooze Fest open when they can just bring back HISTA..

It is outrageous that this hasn’t been fixed. Put up a construction wall, rip the reproductive planter and lights out, and try again.

I don't understand. Why aren't they even attempting to fix it? Is some kind of work happening behind the scenes that we may just not know about?

I have no idea. I gave them the benefit of the doubt on this, but it’s been 6 months. This is entirely unacceptable.

A “special event” appears to be happening at Communicore Hall this morning.

Cast previews of Mickey and Friends I would guess, especially following last night's look inside.

Standard Mickey, Minnie and Goofy just speaks "immersive" experience.

Epcot and WDW going all out for this new location.

with all the charm of a shopping center temporary set...I was expecting to see some beautifully done dimensional settings and backdrops in this purpose-built meet and greet facility....instead of the cheap looking usual graphics.

It's pretty bad when Disney can't top local shopping mall Santa

At least Mickey doesn't smell like vodka.

Goofy, on the other hand...

Yeah not impressed either, but then Im not impressed with anything they are doing at epcot and quite frankly I think all of it is a mess, now Morocco is added to the list.

Creations Shop could certainly use a bath…View attachment 787981View attachment 787982View attachment 787983

Can't risk pressure washing anymore, after the ground lighting fiasco. The building might come down.

 

[Bocabear]

The surviving half of Communicore looks good. It's a little generic modern but acceptable ...I think what bothered me most about that remodel was the total lack of anything whimsical or exciting visually... but it is fine... now, starting from scratch and purpose-building a new Meet and Greet facility....If that is what the new Meet & Greet backdrops look like, yikes. I guess I am also judging it from the promotional video they just released and should wait until I see it in person....but could they have really built beautiful backdrops and just released the film of the wall between the bathroom doors to fake everyone out? I mean, I want to believe that because that would mean they may have really done something great.....

So apparently it doesn’t hold up to heat. The plastic is buckling and sagging.

Does it ever get hot in Florida?

It’s been almost 3 years of ToT having improper corridor scene projections, TDO’s current leadership doesn’t care.

Been like that since February at least. They had stanchions around a problem section. Probably due to trip hazard.

Got what you’re saying and I noticed that there were figment issues almost as soon as it opened in December. In this case, with the summer like heat we’ve been having, the plastic is spongy and sagging. When you step on it if deforms.

Placing bets now- the light strips are replaced with some sort of colored pavement in the near future

Pavement with fiber optic dots that light up...
