Yes, it should be, except for the Test Track update but that's not officially part of the "2019-2024 Epcot transformation", just something extraSo forgive my stupidity. But this thing has been going on for years now. Will this opening “finish” the plan and walls in Epcot will be gone (for a time being)?
When was your first visit?I love the new epcot imo its way better than before. Cant wait for the new communicore stage area to open!
Unfortunate…it was the most complete as a park from about 1988-99I grew up in Tampa Bay till I was 8 and we went a few times while I was under 10. Then in like mid 90s and again 2002ish, then 2010 then last time was just a few months after gotg coaster opened
Bob thanks you. In fact, Bob is depending on you.I went last in 2017, and sure, I was only 7 so I don't remember all too much, but based on photos and what of it I can remember, other than Illuminations and FoN going away, it's been entirely positive IMO. I hated the concrete and barely-any-shade aesthetic, and I (again, going off photos and videos) like this much, much more. I think the plants are beautiful, even if the center planter does look a bit like... the female body... but the plants are gorgeous; the points of light are stunning; the France expansion is wonderfully themed and entirely positive; GotG is a wonderful coaster and excellently themed despite the giant show building; Space 220 alone is worth the price of going back from what I've seen; the new entry plaza finally looks like a theme park, not a graveyard; Walt statues are always a plus, even though it looks like he's on the toilet; Journey of Water is gorgeous; and the concept art for the new Test Track looks much better than what we have now.

I'm not quite sure there's enough trees for shade for summer now. Back then you had FON. I don't know if there's a difference other than scenery.I hated the concrete and barely-any-shade aesthetic.
I’m not exactly old. I wasn’t even there when Wonders was open. But I’m an Epcot Center purist anyway.…kids these days

Yes, it makes the show look very... minor.I'm sorry, but are we just not going to discuss the concept art for the singalong thing? Why did they make the show look so unpopular? Legitimately only like 15 people in the crowd, and most of them seem to be unaccompanied minors.
Disney concept art, especially for the Blogs, has always been awful. Laughably so at time.Yes, it makes the show look very... minor.
Disney's concept art in recent years has been all over the place. You get stuff like the Tropical Americas overview of DAK that whets the appetite for future additions like classic Disney concept art, then you get pieces like this that look like Encanto day at a local Kindergarten.
Who are you and what have you done with MisterPenguin?Disney concept art, especially for the Blogs, has always been awful. Laughably so at time.
But what do I know, I'm the Disney Defender.
Apparently he talked about Bruno... Now he's on our side...Who are you and what have you done with MisterPenguin?
