News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[TrainsOfDisney]

At least Disney makes fun of the average park guest who has no clue..

While it is funny…. Disney Institute used this as an example and said the only wrong answer a CM could give a guest is “3:00” and the correct answer is “the parade starts at 3:00 at Frontierland and will arrive on Main Street at approximately 3:15 - you can view the parade on either side of the street within the roped off areas”

The point that my instructor made was, they know it starts “at 3:00” - it’s your job to understand what they are actually asking - which is most likely where it starts, when it will arrive at the current location, and / or where can we watch it.

Then at one point they reversed the parade, so it started at 3:00 on Main Street...think it was when I worked there around 2008?

Poor guys in Cali have to think about which parade! 1st one starts at small world and ends at the hub, then the 2nd performance it goes back to small world.

I'm so happy to see that World Celebration finally had its water feature installed! Woo-hoo!

Y’all, I think there’s too much concrete here. I think it needs a Moana’s Journey of Water

And the lighting they just recently added, horrible, makes it feel like a Walmart. The plastic chairs don’t help either.

Don’t get me started on all the construction. The scaffolding!

Needs trees for shade and benches!

Are they going to seasonally trade out the statuary? Otherwise it's just the same boring thing every time. One and done.

It’s an attractive, on-theme addition that also helps welcome and guide guests as they arrive at a theme park. Of all the things to not like about the Epcot re-brand I don’t see the negative here.

It’s to win an award for pessimism.

When’s the last time all the lights worked?

Update on the ground lights, they’re still flashing between RGB and white every few seconds as of last night.

Going back to the very first page of this thread (almost 9 years ago!), and thinking about this “flex space,” it’s amazing (and sad) to see how prescient @Master Yoda was:

I am assuming that they were discussing what can be torn down in future world to make room for more food and wine kiosks.

They need bigger umbrellas

 

[JKick95]

With Communicore Hall now open, does anyone think they will remove the World ShowPlace Pavilion for something new? I feel like having both venues available is redundant.

I seriously thought that was a photoshopped joke image at first.

In Orlando, that's called a black mold farm.

New unsubstantiated theory - they brute forced some temporary way to make the ground lights work for the flyover filming they just did the last couple nights.... Can't have broken lights in a new Soarin' finale and/or marketing materials!
