News Character Spot, Innoventions and more to close in September

[Haymarket2008]

Just put a recreation of SMRT-1 somewhere and I’ll be fine.

I'd rather have more booze than nasty soda lol. BUT to each their own

I don't get all the people obsessed with alcohol, if drinking is your priority save money and just go to a bar instead of Disney.

This probably should have been done 5+ years ago but better late than never. It’s so sad to see what has happened to Innoventions. Such a cool space back in the day.

Bear with me: there are people who like drinking and going to Disney parks. Don't yuck my yum.

It is possible to like both *gasp*

We are losing the Fountain of Nations?

It sounds like it is on it's way out.

West is going this year.

Define “year”? As in the one that’s now close to 50% gone?

Really?

As In this year.

As in while 3 major construction projects in the park are underway for opening next year...as in mgm is about to be overrun in 75 days...as in a new mass transit direct system is about to be attached to the gateway at the same time?

That “this year”?

Seems like a stretch, but I’ll believe you...and the shovels. Is that before or after they build our caipirinha bar?

Character Spot at Epcot set to close in September

Work will soon begin on the redevelopment of Epcot's central spine.

Hmmm.....

But why pay to go to Disney when the next day you won't even remember you were there, there is nothing wrong with a drink now and then, but alcohol has literally taken over epcot.

Where are people seeing that? I’ve seen no mention of it leaving. Just everything around it.

It's also possible to drink alcohol and not get drunk.

DW and I like to try and learn about different kinds of beer, wine, liquor, and spirits. It's a hobby we enjoy, and part of why we like Epcot so much is because there's an emphasis on it as of late. We almost never get blackout drunk, even in the comfort of our home. We're also not the only ones who do that.

Thanks for your contribution Ninja. Let us not derail the thread and force the Mom to work hard at quarter to 10

Every time I read one of her posts, I’m forced to drink a shot.

I know it was just an observation when someone wanted booze instead of soft drinks, and I admit it is kinda fun to set back and watch the drunk people in World Showcase.

Just ran into this on Twitter:

 

[awoogala]

Is Club Cool really worth saving?? I was hoping a similar experience would re-open at the Coke Store at Springs. I guess not.

You can already get a version of it there. They have a sodas around the world tray that has pretty much everything there, including Beverly. You just have to pay for it. (but it is clean, and you don't have to fight others for a taste)

 

[LuvWDW2]

Because of the giant Coke Store in DS, I’m frankly stunned the free soda at Club Cool lasted as long as it did. I’ll be surprised if that part comes back in the new version.

 

[bork]

Didn't previous plans show the Fountain of Nations moving closer to World Showcase, on the walkway between Future World and World Showcase?

 

[Bocabear]

It sounds like it is on it's way out.

Makes sense...it is a huge bottleneck... Would be nice if they rebuilt it with modern technology outside of that plaza...

 

[KBLovedDisney]

Mouse Gear is being re-imagined...I am not going to set my hopes high after the whole World of Disney debacle.

Disney's continued march to the promotion of alcoholism is becoming a problem. You can see the fervor with which people defend the celebration of drinking alcohol here on these boards.
