News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[Disstevefan1]

They are the planned highlight of my August vacation, so speak for yourself. We will be stopping by daily. Twice on Sunday.

Yes, I apologize. I am happy to know the pole dancers are a highlight for your August trip - Enjoy!

It would have been the same thing just higher and with an up-charged fireworks viewing area.

Yes, it would have been just as bad probably. Look at World Celebration...

I've started collecting dollar bills.

That was my thought. The old building south of the breezeway had spaces for guests to sit and a Mickey M&G. Could have just left that building, gutted it, and reconfigured the space.

This. It is ridiculous that 5 years of construction got us something that is functionally identical to what it replaced. And looks far worse. Plus compare Mousegear to Creations shop. MouseGear had charm, theme and story. Creations Shop is a Target, just there to sell you things. No story, no theme.

8 1/2 years and 855 pages got us to this point.

I mean, sure, the table would have still been an events flex space, but at least it would have had some sort of evocative design and architecture. What we have now is just badly mimicking and failing to create the symmetry of the previous building.

Not that it is a dramatic difference, but what happened to the signs for World Celebration, etc that are in this picture:

That's strange... Maybe they thought ALL banners/signs were bad after the Tiana debacle?

I heard they only want Disney Dollars

This is Disney sir. The minimum denomination is a 50.

Note there isn't much for phone charging in this area - just 4 sets of outlets (one 2-plug outlet at each inside corner of the building). There are outlets in the floor that are probably for event use, but the one I opened had standing water it it:

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. They certainly don't look temporary, so I am wondering if the @wdwmagic pictures were a "before" from prior to their instillation? If not and they were removed, that's unfortunate since while they aren't anything special, they at least provide some color to an otherwise very sterile space.

This project has had a shocking number of water issues given the addition of an attraction featuring a girl who can supposedly control water.

A couple games have been set up in the flex space area, but be warned the artificial turf is roasting in the sun:

Individual Lighting Lanes for Cornhole are on MDE right now going for $35.

You’re being really unfair. It’s “Pluto’s Cornhole and Daisy’s Four-in-a-Row Family Gametime Magic Adventure”.

I think I need an adult….

Yes, you must have an adult over age 21 to play with Pluto’s Cornhole but Daisy’s Four-in-a-Row is appropriate for all ages.
