To each it's own, but I sort of to refuse this option under any circumstance, even though there are a handful of posters that I don't see personally see eye-to-eye.
Even the overly critical and negative forum members, typically bring an interesting point of view. I do believe that most of it is rooted in love for the Disney theme parks even if they are stuck in the "good ole' days".

Yes, indeed. That's the side with the lounge's current and presumably future entrance.

While they have construction walls up, could they do something about that paneling? It looks awful!

All of the Alucobond paneling at the entrance is atrocious

Nope, that's on the West side. Which makes this work even more confusing.

Unless the lounge was capped at 49 people then there are two ways out.

At the toll booths too.

I finally got to see the lights "working" and watched a few of the shows with Spaceship Earth before heading over to World Showcase to watch Luminous. My favorites were the Epcot anthem and the When We're Together holiday show.
We went the weekend (12/21/2024) right before Christmas, and for the most part the lights worked, probably 95% the way there.
But there were bits here and there that were mis-colored and didn't light correctly with the sequences.
We sat on the right side facing Spaceship Earth.
I really liked the mood and lighting at night, just wished it was 100% working. I was with a bunch of first timers and they were all intrigued by everything, so that's at least good.
Also as a side note, the DJ at Communicore was so loud. Even sitting here in the central area to watch the light shows, the music coming from over there was drowning out the music, ruining the vibes. I'm not one to complain much but that really was a bad mark that I still remember until now..

I would say there is a valid debate whether it was "at WDI" vs. "to WDI" vs. both.

whether "at" or"To", it seems like substantial enough changes happened to change the course of creative theme park design within the Walt Disney Company... The seem to have lost that spark.... Maybe they need to all sit down and watch every one of Matin's deep dive videos to understand what the Imagineers did and how great it was...Maybe the executives should all do a retreat and watch them too... to understand the changes and see what was lost...to understand how to bring that wonder and excitement back...not model the world after a corporate office campus... or average apartment buildings that surround us...
The DJ booth has to go!
It is way too loud and does not fit what I would think EPCOT should be. Even if modern WDI thinks it fits whatever Would Celebration should be, it is tacky and below Six Flags level. If I went to a local mall and they were blasting this, I would probably steer clear.

No doubt. It's such a jarring contrast to the Gardens. And, at the end of Luminous, the crazy lights and all that just don't fit.
The DJ just needs some IP synergy injected for proper activation potential…

DCA 2.0 has already been decimated with Pixar Pier, Avengers, San Fransokyo and the new Avatar area.

It's not even clear where Avatar is going and if it goes in Hollywood land it's not like that's a loss to DCA in the slightest. Say what you will about the rest of the additions but I find the park to be objectively strong (and only getting stronger with last year's announcements). Although I agree the park's name is less and less relevant now. But hey, I'll take a California Adventure that doesn't quite match the park's theme over an Adventure World....
