It’s pretty odd that before WDW got the Hatbox Ghost D23 had a special appearance by the ghostly apparition of Marty Sklar imploring the panelists to “keep my name out of this”

Oh yeah, I have no problem with them bringing it over for a bit. I just hope it's so they can fix the world movie (or, even better, create a new one).

Take a shot! Here, I’ll even throw a freebie in for you: “activation”.

Somehow if the part about fireworks being shot off over the parking lot didn't phase them, I doubt structure changes to the park will either.

I’ll give them credit - no matter how low you set your expectations, they manage to still disappoint you.
It’s a gift.

I would imagine part of the goal is to redo the EPCOT flyover at the end to align with the new look of World Celebration.

‘Activation’ is unfortunately part of the the new language in the industry. This is not a uniquely Disney thing.

I think that's probably the only goal, unfortunately -- I'm not expecting them to fix all the other problems, much less create a new film that's as good or better as the California one. Thought I said that above, but then I realized this is being discussed in two separate threads.

They said it was for the Disney 100th which is being celebrated at Epcot, so I wouldn't expect any work done to Around the World ... this think this is a fun like extra for th anniversary
Edit: though good point about updating the Epcot ending to the redone World Celebration

Oh, that is a good point - it does like ok very out of date at this point
This will let them capture the finished project and then add it to Around the World for into the new Year

To clarify, Encanto is set in South America. I believe they mentioned Central and South America in the presentation though
Indeed, they reference the Northern part of South America and the Southern part of Central America settling on calling it the Tropical Americas.
Remember, the park is secretly and actually Disney's Jungle Kingdom.
We're in an airport to ride a hang glider that traverses hundreds or thousands of miles.
None of it makes sense.

I know it's a very unpopular opinion but I do think they did themselves a disservice by calling it Animal Kingdom as anything they add that doesn't fit that exactly gets bashed.
If it was "Disney Adventure Kingdom" (realizing they wouldn't be naming too close to Islands of Adventure) or something similar, but mostly animal based (like having a tagline of some kind) it would have given them more leeway.

That's a different argument. I wasn't talking about the conceit of the ride itself making any sense -- just that a ride about flying around world locations makes more sense in EPCOT than a ride that takes place entirely in California.
Although in the Land location, it's a bit strange that it focuses so much on manmade landmarks and not just different natural environments.

Just go the full way and call all four parks “Magic Kingdom North, South, East, and West” and then you won’t have to be bothered by all of this needlessly limiting “theming”.

I believe Epcot has two theatres - why not play one in either screen ?
