You know what's funny?
Frozen is so yesterday, it's all about Strange Magic now.
A Strange Magic overlay? Now I think I could get into that.

A Strange Magic overlay? Now I think I could get into that.

Some people can't take a joke.

Can't we get back to the fighting & name calling? It was so much more pleasant than being reminded of...that.

So has anyone gone through the trouble of outlining on a MAP (like Google Earth) Both where the current ride building is and overlayed with the plans for the new building to get a better idea of how the pavilions will look. I have seen the maps and the plans separately but I am having trouble visualizing it all together.

Yea, iv'e seen those drawings before, I was more referring to an actual overlay with an Aerial Image of the Map like from Google Earth or something like that. Just to make it a little more clear on what is going where. Maybe it's just me, I don't fully understand how the added building will look compared to where the current ride building is now.

At the moment, you can't see the pad where the new building will go because it is backstage. So, there are several options. Disney could keep it somewhat hidden with landscaping and just make the entrance visible going into the Norway courtyard. Or they could build the entrance at the front of the pad so you enter from the main WS pathway. However, we don't know. So it's going to remain difficult to visual until we have more details.

No details that I've heard; I don't even know if they are keeping the ride system or installing a new one. I keep coming to this thread to look for updates, but it's 250 pages of sadness/frustration/ire/angst over the conversion, and very little information ABOUT the conversion.
The new building will house a meet and greet, apparently similar in scope to the FL Fairytale Hall, and bathrooms. I can't imagine that there won't be an all things Frozen shop as well.

In all due respect... This thread is over 280 pages long. I've been following it, hit or miss, since it started. The VAST majority of posts are beating the dead horse of why the conversion shouldn't happen. Do I like it? No. But it's happening.
Maybe it's time for a second thread - one dedicated to ONLY construction updates, news, and rumors and leave this one for those who want to express their opinions about the appropriateness of Frozen in Epcot and the associated general Epcot is going to Hell in a handbasket comments. For the record, I HATE what is happening to Epcot, but when I'm looking for NEWS (and rumors) about the latest "project", sifting through a hundred or more "complaint" comments to find an occasional piece of information is very frustrating...

Well there goes the opportunity for a new pavilion. It makes me sick to think that some cartoon castle will clog up the WS skyline.

Since you know there will be a castle built, can you please tell us which one it will be? The castle the girls grew up in, or Elsa's ice castle?

Fear of change, and expectation of disappointment. Sadly no hope exists around here much.

I'd like to know that as well.
Big difference between fearing change and voicing concern over loss of theme and purpose. Hope does exist, but seriously, considering the amount of money this film has grossed and TWDC's decision to take the most absolute cheapest route possible to honor said film with an attraction stuffed into a pre-existing one is a sign of how far a company once dedicated to CREATING has fallen under a spell of cheapness.

I boggles my mind how many people are just willing to accept all change. I think this is the true definition of "sheep" and the powers that be just love these people because they can do anything they want without being questioned.
That looks awfully close to the Mexico pavilion. Isn't Donald meeting right where that building is ending at?

Yes, that gap in the trees just above it is where the M&G is.
