Are those jars of M&Ms (the OFFICIAL candy of the Walt Disney World Resort) hanging from the ceiling?

Ah, but the parent company is Mars....see the connection?

"Connections" . . . "Creations" . . .

Sort of a wonder Club Cool didn't turn into "Carbonations". Or "Chemicals".

 

[Thelazer]

That has to be the most GENERIC DULL boring artwork I've ever seen..
Good god, it's like "how bland can we make this..." Hell they even duplicated one of the jean jacket ladies in it twice.

Also pretty sure that mural in the background there, was lifted right from the Denver airport.

Magical cheeseburgers and chicken nuggets for everyone.

Ugh. How disgustingly boring. Creations. Connections. I’ve got one, “Criticisms” for no Imagination (hint hint).

Has a whole storytelling-based background and “immersive theme that only Disney can do” been announced for this place yet?

 

[vikescaper]

Makes you wonder if they are going to change the name of Dreamers Point to Landscapes….

And the Starbucks is “Caffenations”.

"Today, Walt Disney World is pleased to announce "Condolences", the exciting new Guest Relations experience coming soon to EPCOT"

"Conceptions" is our magnificent new overlook location that really honors Walt Disney's vision for EPCOT" . . .

If SSE was still about communication, that could have been renamed Communications.

Wow, this does look very bland. Reminds me of the cafeterias they have at zoos and museums. Electric Umbrella wasn't the best themed restaurant but it was better than this art - at least it had a certain "Epcot" character to it. Hopefully the food will be an upgrade from the chicken nuggets and burgers that EU had.

What is happening with the old Computer Central area? There's a lot of space back there. They could do something cool with that area especially if the Epcot Center model is still around. Or paint everything white and put some wood on the ceiling.

Electric Umbrella was literally blue carpet walls and a drop ceiling.

It had neon though... crackle neon.

They're just twins who enjoy dressing alike and wandering around quick service restaurants, chatting and laughing with guests at different tables!

I must admit this is another piece of concept art along with Creations that I struggle to get offended by. It's not exactly exciting, but then I'm not quite sure what a thematically appropriate quick service for that location would look like other than something along these lines.
