i don't know about anyone else but I think the changes would be really cool. and global village could mean ANYTHING, maybe they plan on bringin back the millinium village with a new name. i like epcot the way it is, but last time we were there it looked very 80ish, a few things to spruce it up and bring it into the 90's would be fantastic in my book.

I thought the same thing, especially when I look at pictures. It's like, "this is so 80s!!" Anyway, it would be nice if instead of bringing it into the 90s, they brought it into the 2000s

Also I am a teen and I always liked Epcot, and I am sure some of the friends I know would find it interesting as well. The Epcot audience (at least the original version of Epcot's audience) is the same type of people who watch science shows on TV... PBS, The Discovery Channel, etc., or go to places like the Kennedy Space Center, and there are plenty of teens that do. I believe that the proportion of teens who are interested in Epcot is the same as the proportion of adults. There are plenty of adults who aren't into science (Future World) or culture (World Showcase).

So, I objectively think it is inaccurate to say that Epcot doesn't appeal to teens. In reality it doesn't appeal to people who are only interested in mainstream pop-culture and cheap thrills, which are all ages.
