News EPCOT 2020 reopening reports

[wdwmagic]

As far as I know, them officially confirming that Mary Poppins will be reviewed, not just paused, was new today. If not, I stand corrected.

I think it is very safe to say at the moment that absolutely everything is under review.

I could quibble, but you run this place and seem to be a very gracious host. I'll cede the point.

Can anyone comment on riding the monorail from the TTC to the park today?

no monorail service to EPCOT currently. Kinda sad to not see it moving around future world every few minutes.

It’s not a very good story but here you go:

After the events of the first film, and probably close to the events of “Frozen Fever” Elsa invites all the subjects of her kingdom to her ice palace for a festival. Musical hijinks happen.

It isn’t really the story that I like about the attraction it is an excuse to relive the movie and still make it a “sequel”.

EDIT: “(The festival) commemorates the anniversary of the day Queen Elsa saved her sister, Princess Anna with an unselfish act of true love, thus thawing a frozen heart and ending the eternal winter. To celebrate the event, Elsa bestowed an Official Summer Snow Day upon the Arendelle citizenry, inspiring the amusement ride.”

I didn't get that. It seemed like Olaf and the Trolls were like "Here's what happened" and then it went through the basic beats of the story.
Minus the terrible villain twist because as far as I know neither Olaf or the trolls knew anything about the villain twist.

You can sum up the plot in a few sentences, other then saying “ride through Norway’s past, myth and present” which is incredibly vauge you can’t sum up Malstorm.

I was told by a CM that the monorail would be running from the TTC to Epcot on the 15th...too bad.

Does anyone know why the Epcot monorail is not in use, or when it's projected to return?

To avoid putting unnecessary strain on the TTC and resort monorail. Capacity is already limited and space is at a premium.

Wasn't the fan community abdicating its influence by snarkily saying there's too much Frozen already? And they were then supposed to be taken seriously by saying, "leave Maelstrom alone and give us a full Frozen mini-land!!"?

Actually, didn't the fans just keep saying "too much Frozen"? That's what I recall.

That's not how I remember it...

Frozen is on the way to Epcot, why it's the end of the world

Frozen is on the way to Epcot, why it's the end of the world as we know it.

The last line that I wrote (MiceChat puts a tag at the end of articles...)

Frozen made over $1.2 billion in the worldwide box office and it deserves a great themed area in Walt Disney World. It does not deserve the shoehorn treatment, the franchise is too important.

Let me guess... 1:00, 3:00, 5:00, 7:00 is the cleaning schedule for SSE?

I still say they should've never gotten rid of Maelstrom.

I'm sorry if I've missed it: Do Epcot and DHS have AK's new security scanners?
