3 neighborhoods

- World Discovery
- World Nature
- World Celebration

World Showcase continues

I like the thematic ideas, but the names are kind of awkward. Cautiously optimistic.

What makes up each new theme section? And ps - I hate the "Neighborhood" name.

You know, sticking a statue of Walt in Epcot at the same moment that they gut the park may be the worst announcement.

makes sense the "future" doesn't work well as there will always be a need to update/upgrade.

Oh wow, I didn't realize Imagination was in World Celebration.

Well, Magic Eye is in Celebration and the ride showbuilding is in Nature.........

This was exactly my thought. I really dont mind the concept at all. But the names are bad.

Nonsensical reorganization to justify future nonsense.

This was never Walt's park. So, it's not like you're removing his spirit.

So who wants to take guesses on how much it will cost to watch the fireworks from that new Epcot pavilion ?

So...what happened to Fitzgerald? Weren't they going for the whole "he was part of Horizons, you can trust him!" thing last D23?

Nonsensical reorganization to justify future nonsense.

But there will be a statue of Walt, so you can't question it because they clearly love Disney's history.

Wait until you all see the Phase 2 expansion of this concept......World Domination!

I’m glad. Future World had the same problem as Tomorrowland. This new neighborhood divisions should help solve that issue of constantly being dated.

One thing that screams Epcot to me is the wishing tree in an enchanted forest. Profound. Will wishes be guaranteed? I’d argue that’s a reasonable ask at the new price points.
