I don’t get this - Land seems like the most solid pavilion in Future World while Seas is just very long in the tooth.
I think they just mean The Land interior, which I would agree is worse than The Seas because the latter is more explicitly themed. While both are dated in certain respects, The Land's shabby food court atrium is a drag on what is otherwise the most wonderfully realized pavilion.
I’m not sure how much you can do with the Land interior - the design of the space itself prompts the “food court” vibes. There’s only so much some paint and furniture rearranging can do. Personally, I find the retro feel very EPCOT.
Interesting. If it’s just the far outside ones it could be a way to basically close those entrances but keep the infrastructure if/when they need it?
It's a design disaster even from a "retro EPCOT" perspective. The half-walls that surround the various dining enclaves on the lower level were never meant to be there and make traversing the area a pain, and there's a complete stylistic disconnect between the retro ceiling decor, the Soarin' era dining decor, and the mish-mash of restaurant facades. Removing the banners, restoring a mural or mosaic of some kind to the ceiling, opening up the dining area again, and doing something that stylistically connects the lower level to the upper would make it feel a lot less confused.
By groups do you mean families? How dare a family try to get into Epcot together!!! Haha
Sounds good to me!
These look awful. They’re just big and bulk in a way that completely constrains with their surroundings.Disney Begins Installing Physical Gates at EPCOT Main Entrance
Walt Disney World has begun installing physical gates at the main entrance of EPCOT. Take a closer look with us!
This one's an interesting development, wondering if this is a result of guest behavior? People just going over/under the ropes?
Fitting the look doesn’t matter when Lowe’s has a sale.
Not necessary to insult Lowe’s
The tapstyle system is designed to process one guest per mickey head at a time, not a herd. Same disconnect as the brilliant designer who thought that individual admission placards stored on a single device would be quicker/more convenient than individual admission media. Not designed for mobs with or without strollers. Stroller parties sometimes block other entry points putting them out of thier way, but in the way of other admission points. They should have dedicated lanes/holding pens for such chaotic groups. I believe the West Coasts facial scan entry is a better approach.
It’s a mess out there too. Even worse since it’s almost 100% digital. They won’t give you a physical pass. I hate having to use my phone but mickeys rules.
But, but, there are TRIANGLES! Triangles means EPCOT!
