EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

Is WDW calling it a flex space?
I'd call it a picnic area and place where kids can do zoomies.

Kids can do what, now? That sounds like slang for amphetamines. That can't possibly be legal, even in Florida.

Run around to get out a lot of energy. It's called zoomies when dogs start running around your house.

One of my 3 cats does that. It will just take off running at full throttle. Around the 1st floor of the house, up the stairs, make a circuit of upstairs and then back down the stairs and usually stops where he started at.... Funny thing is that it seems like it usually happens after he goes to the bathroom.....
When EPCOT Becoming: Inside the Transformation was announced, Disney said additional behind-the-scenes stories related to the EPCOT Transformation would be released starting in mid-June on YouTube. The first episode, titled Redrawing the Map, has finally been released from National Geographic.
Here's the description for Episode 1:
EPCOT BECOMING is dedicated to reimagining EPCOT® for a new generation. Go behind the scenes with the Walt Disney Imagineering teams on their multi-year quest to redesign the classic park map. As the neighborhoods expand and change to make room for new attractions and out-of-this-world storytelling, their vision goes from inspiration and innovation to transformation.

A sneak peek into WDI's "drawing boundaries" process:
Personally, hard pass on a show highlighting their efforts to destroy a once-unique and unbelievably well-built park.

So they took a research trip to drink around the World and then proceeded to draw up a plan. This checks out...
I wonder if they started in Canada or Mexico...??

I guess you can create a series of shows to try and explain what you have done to the park and why, but you shouldn't have to...it should be obvious... To me the front half of the park now seems unfocused and random...purposeless. I like Guardians.... I like that there are more trees.... I even like Connections... The new store is too plain...joyless....as is the whole central core now. It looks too corporate... uncreative.... a complete lack of kinetics and whimsy... The new Flex Space is completely useless...currently... Unless they have grand plans they have not talked about yet. All in all we found it to be an overall loss.
Still would've been better to call it all World Celebration, or World Festival, rather than the three 'neighborhoods,' IMO.

Central fountain post table building?
Like, it's right there. Just do it.

That’s the plan with the Festival Center, though.
You can certainly tell how everyone working at Disney is scheming to cancel Walt.

the "neighborhoods" in their current state make no sense at all... Yes you can tie together The Seas and The Land...and then maybe add multiple new attractions celebrating all of what encompasses Nature on the planet... Multiple walk through attractions like Moana that explore the land...something that has to do with Weather...then it would start to feel like it was really encompassing "Nature"... Add a gateway of some form to delineate the Nature section in a way that you KNOW you are in World Nature... Likewise the other "neighborhoods" need to feel like they make sense... A Guardians of the Galaxy coaster, A Space training mission, and a General Motors car showroom and ride really feel out of step with "Discovery" and again, these "neighborhoods" need to be connected in some sort of cohesive way that really feels like you are in a world of Discovery...not the same old Epcot with confusing new names for everything. The last part is "World Celebration" that feels more like a rarely used corporate park or college campus quad. It does not feel celebratory... it doesn't feel exciting or vibrant or fun... it just feels like a dry, humorless park with an empty school cafeteria building, flat amphitheater stage, and not much else... Imagination is completely disconnected from this area... Though it is supposed to be part of it...and again, this area feels lifeless and dry... not like a celebration of any sort.
I understand what they were aspiring to do, but they need so much more to actually make it work...

Calling it now in a few years when they realize how silly and illogical the “neighborhoods” are, they’ll just slap Discovery World on the whole front half of the park. And by the way, if these are indeed separate lands, why are they all playing the same area loop? Shouldn’t each neighborhood have distinct music? I’ll tell you why. The new names have zero purpose.

Imagination should be in World Nature as imagination is a natural brain function.
