… Which is still very similar to what they were going to do until March of 2020 hit them. The main difference between this and the pre-COVID site plan was that they decided not to knock down the southern portion of East CommuniCore, plus they abandoned whatever was supposed to be happening on the bridge to World Showcase, though that was fairly non-descript in the art.

There was nothing stopping them from investing and strengthening their parks…either at that time or in retrospect

Like the broken lights in Epcot?

No
I bet the Horizons name is something like "You'll be able to experience Horizons again virtually thanks to our partners at Epic Games" although I wouldn't necessarily be apposed to resurrecting dead attractions through video games. Just as long it doesn't start to replace actual investment into the parks.

Didn’t say there was. I thought the implication of the original post was that the 2018 rendering was super different from the intended plans once construction began, which was not the case. It was very similar aside from preserving a bit more of CommuniCore.

No, "activation" is a marketing term used today. Basically, they mean there will be kiosks, displays or activities to connect the brand/product with consumers to increase awareness or excitement. Maybe they will give stuff away, character interactions, or some sort of performances.

Disagree. RR is a sad eyesore and one attraction. Unused Peoplemover track is nothing compared to so many of these “improvements” over the last few years.

The EPCOT renovation was bad - BUT -

In my opinion, the failed re theme from people mover to Rocket Rods that not only failed as an attraction but also destroyed the people mover track such that you cant even revert it back and the mistake is there for for all to see forever, this is THE WORST re theme in the history of TWDC

Epcot was down and they pooched half of what they “built”…so the cumulative, long term effect is much worse

The D23 money carrying meat sacks will be blessed with the DAK South America Expansion and the MK BBTM. Throw in a couple more Blue Sky concepts and they'll need to start pumping more oxygen into the room with all the collective gasping from the Low-Information Pixie Dusters.

What has really ever come out of these things that has ever been a major unexpected surprise?

All in the hopes of organic brand synergy being developed via social media engagement and interactions.

100% artificial with none of the flavor but all of the filling.

I feel like I need a shower now.

So what I’m getting from this is still expect nothing from Epcot despite what sources say? Well that’s expected. The COP thing could be cool, but from what you say it sounds a bit less than the bears and potential tiki room update. I hope at least they actually do stuff for WDW this year that will be good. I’m really hoping this is actually a good year for d23. I dunno wether to be optimistic or pessimistic.

Imo wouldn't go that far, I expect something for Epcot thar isn't TT.

Why did they use the word “Horizons”? I know I am pulling up a bad topic, but is there link to the once famed ride?

Olc isn’t stupid enough to replace something their public loves for crap that they can’t get any interest in.

It would NOT be Tiana. OLC has passed on Tiana SEVERAL times. TDL is safe from theirs becoming Tiana, but not safe from it becoming something else entirely. The property chosen would be a crowd pleaser I feel. Just bear with it if it happens.

IF it happens. I don't usually get international sources.

Despite what my sources say, I have my doubts there's gonna be an outright connection, maybe it's because I've been burned too many times.

I cannot Bear waiting much longer to hear about it. I wonder how much they are going to stuff into this panel.
…..I’m bad at this.
