Is anything at all expected from the Epcot panel as far as announcements or teases of anything new?

This is my question as well. Hopefully they provide more details, artwork, etc. Not just a history lesson.

And of course nothing (so far) about fixing the Yeti in EE. Hard to take this event seriously when there's no indication that a broken animatronic - broken for years! - will ever be repaired or replaced.

 

[DCLcruiser]

Why would I waste my time at a place as boring as Epcot?

I think that’s cause for immediate banning. Jk.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

So they’ve nixed the Zootopia land altogether and sticking a show in to replace its tough to be a Bug? Not sure how that’s going to work.

Simple! It's a 3d film! Remove Flik and Hopper, put Clawhouser in Hopper's spot...Done!

I’ve heard the track layout is the same as dinosaur but they won’t be able to clone it will they? Doesn’t the Indy ride have a massive hall area with different levels.

Layout is exactly the same..The queue is way before the ride building you enter.

I love the D'Amaro quote 'Things are about to go into overdrive at MK'

Josh better tighten up his pants!

But of course it’s laughable to think Josh will be affiliated with Disney in a year or two.

Horizons was never good. Epcot fans are the most delusion Disney park fans. The only good thing Epcot has ever had is American Adventure.

Or, you know, people just like different things than you do. I could just as easily say you're delusional for not thinking EPCOT had Disney's greatest attraction lineup and was the best park they've ever built.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Astounding that Disney will retheme or alter any show or ride on property except the ones people have been begging for years to get updated (Carousel of Progress, Imagination, the stale BatB show at DHS etc).

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Looks like after October 16 it's going to be a long time before a new build attraction opens at WDW.

I guess that's one way to answer the question.

Y'all I don't care about Epcot because I'm from LA. I'm just responding to that guy's asinine comments about IJA with equally asinine comments about Epcot.

I'm almost positive that guy doesn't care about EPCOT either, so that was probably the wrong avenue.

For anyone looking for a video recap from the Parks and Destinations panel, I did a fast as possible for you.



There are chapters and subtitles as well available.

Magic Kingdom gets even vaguer Blue Skyland!

You know it’s rough when the Penguin gets a bit cynical

 

[Figments Friend]

Loaded down with more free giveaways…and this is NICE STUFF….

Currently was just given a large Figment figure…very cutesy…very kwai-ish….
Entire ballroom seating is covered in this large boxed figures.
Wow…nice surprise for this Figment fan.

I can see the eBay flippers going nuts over these….already seeing people taking more then one of these.
Saw a group of eight people with two each, and one woman with two plus a plastic bag full of four more.

These are supposed to be for all attendees…and I can help but some will miss out.
RIGHT NOW, if you want one….you need to be in the National Geographic oanel.
I think they are using these to lure fans into this panel.

Pix of the figure are probably already out there….(and likely already in eBay…I will take pix later.

Really nice giveaways.
I think this is where the $320 went to….

Can his pants get any tighter?? Marie

 

[Epcot81Fan]

Now Moana has been booted out of Animal Kingdom would there be space for that log flume to go into Epcot or would it have to replace the seas pavilion?

Water is nature so it’s a perfect fit! Or something!

I saw somewhere else it was this one:

I'm guessing they didn't sell too well honestly.

 

[Drdcm]

Did they announce any new attractions? Or just re-themes

Test Track update not a retheme if that counts

Country Bears update

Fair, but not something that will increase capacity unfortunately. That’s where my thoughts were going…
