EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

Is this space routinely rented out?

Good question. I think the success of that will likely determine what ultimately happens to it.

It's really odd that someone seemed to push hard for having an outdoor stage and indoor venue, and then when it became operational, could not find anything to use it for. I don't think a semi-permanent Encanto show was in the original plans.

I think it was the idea of being able to rent it out...otherwise there is no reason they could not have actually designed an engaging interior that would still allow for changing exhibits...instead of the school cafeteria/ empty convention hall interior we currently have....

Disney feels their guests need to constantly be assaulted with blasting music because that means fun....lol

This past weekend when I was on Property, particularly at some Resorts, I noticed this.

The All Star Resorts various food courts had tween and twenty something pop music blasting in half empty dining halls.
The sound was bouncing around off of those bare walls and made for a auditory overload.

The choice of music also made the spaces feel like your average contemporary mall food court….which they have been the case for a while now, but the change in music was jarring to my ears.

I personally preferred the previous playlist in these particular areas, which was just Disney songs in general from various films and Attractions.
Not the hip, latest version of similar selections done by some tween idol wannabe at a breakneck tempo and ‘brickwalled’ audio quality.
At peak volume.
Yick.

I do know artists complained during the last Art Festival of how loud it was since some were located directly under the overhang (and even ones in the general area found it to be a nuisance). They liked being centrally located but absolutely hated the noise of the stage. Made it difficult to actually talk to guests.

I'm curious if they'll tone down the music for the next festival or move the artists somewhere else. Though moving them means more temp tents scattered around, thus defeating the purpose of the flex space.
