Yes but...
We've got three replacements (WoL into Space restaurant, Tony's into Theatre, GMR into Mickey)
A fancy overlay (Energy to GoG... boy, they really treat Marvel like they have no trust in it...)
And only 1 real addition (TRON0
Is this correct?

Rat
Star Wars resort

[Karakasa]

They said there was more to the WDW changes, just haven't announced them yet, I think?

Sad there wasn't more info on TSL.

 

[Rodan75]

Was the actual function of this presentation to sell the BoD on funding these proposals for FY '18?

Lol. Chappie does seem to be a bit too corporate for this type of preso.

At least Iger seems like a fan of at least Star Wars and Marvel.

Eisner started his tenure with a focus on Parks and Resorts, Iger looks like he is finishing his with that focus.

I can't believe they are allocating this much funding over the next 4-5 years.

Fry cooks make fry cook wages. Don't like it? Acquire some skills and don't be a fry cook.

Rule number 1 of travel: Don't mess with people who handle your food.

Someone in another thread suggested that the theater might actually be built off of the bypass. @marni1971 ?

Rat
Star Wars resort

I did forget Rat. My bad.
And yes, both the theatre and the Space restaurant are replacements... and Space is replacing two rides. Disney shouldn't get a pass because it neglected the building for decades.

 

[durangojim]

Disney has blown my mind today! Bravo! Take my money! Star Wars resort here I come!

 

[Kwame]

Wait.. I taught the gaurdians of the galaxy ride was going to be a coaster?..

 

[MurphyJoe]

Nothing about Figment.....Nothing.........

With the way they're focusing on FW left for WDW's 50th, I'd imagine FW right will be on the working list for Epcot's 40th.

Serving customers WELL in a packed environment is a skill. One that deserves the obscene money the execs make? Of course not. But also not deserving of such borderline contempt.

If this is true, it's good. I'd like that a lot.

I like additions.

My thoughts exactly.

Now a lot of this is out in the open I'll feel a bit more comfortable talking about some of it

There's still quite a bit that wasn't mentioned too.

 

[Matthew]

So when GOTG appear in Avengers: IW are they still kept as separate family due to the licensing agreement or are they Avengers family.

Doubt it will make much difference since Marvel is bigger than the MCU and they have already interacted loads in the comics....

As in not in Town Square? I'd like that a lot more, actually. It looks too big and grand to fit the tiny town square but then again this IS just concept art.

 

[DonaldDoleWhip]

Well... At least I can't call them cheap.

Cheap, no. Misguided, maybe.

Would've loved to hear about a new country coming to Epcot (it's been 29 years), but at least we finally know Pixar Pier is coming to DCA. (Pixar Pier? Did anyone want that?)

 

[danlb_2000]

Wait.. I taught the gaurdians of the galaxy ride was going to be a coaster?..

Did something suggest that it wouldn't be?

That's good to hear but what we've heard is slightly disappointing.
