News Guardians of the Galaxy party coming to Epcot this summer

[po1998]

Yes...another dance party. Noise pollution at its finest.

 

[wannabeBelle]

Is there even room at AGT for dancing? Isn’t it a bunch of tiered benches?

Correct as always. Marie

 

[Magic Feather]

I’m having a T shirt printed.

Any we certainly can't forget... "As Walt Disney Once Said... 'What a Thematic Disaster...' "

(Bonus points for those of us geeky enough to get that one...)

I wish the new operational role changes announced today would include scrapping this desperate entertainment attempt. But I guess thats a whole different department and what not.

 

[mikejs78]

I hope you have that phrase copied and pasted for future use.

Ugh.

 

[mikejs78]

For the record, I love all things Marvel, MCU, Guardians, etc. But they don't belong in Epcot. Put on this show in DHS/Cinemagine/Whatever the f it will be called? Go for it. I'm all in favor of that. World Showcase? A replacement for UoE? No way. Now, if they use Peter Quill to talk about energy and it's place in the universe? Ok, we can talk. But otherwise, just no.

 

[HauntedPirate]

I'd take the lumberjacks in Canada over this.

At least one can argue that lumberjacks in Canada fit the country. This... this is just asinine.

One can only imagine the drool emanating from Bob Chapek's mouth when one of his favorite movie IP's and "Epcot dance party" were brought up in a meeting. Any bets on whether or not merchandise will be available?

Not I. If they use a good band there is a shot of having some talent, even if it is in the wrong place. Marie

 

[CoasterSnoop]

Because, yes, Epcot is, of course, the park to do this. I wouldn't support the Guardians coming to Animal Kingdom either, but at least Rocket's a raccoon and Groot's a tree. I even liked the first movie, and wouldn't be opposed to some of it in the parks, but of the four parks at WDW, Guardians fits the least in Epcot, and that's just what's so baffling. If Disney wanted some Marvel in Epcot so badly, what stopped them from Iron Man? The way Disney has been handling this IP since that first movie was a hit has just been an accumulated, twitching ball of confusion.

 

[BrowncatP]

I agree with almost everyone here. Not a bad idea, BUT the WRONG place for it!!

 

[wannabeBelle]

As an alternate location, I wonder if a dance party with a M & G with Star-Lord and Gamora at the end of the new attraction would work. Similar to the dance party at the end of the Minions attraction across town, but with a real band and the character interaction. Granted this couldnt happen for a while. but I think that could work nicely inside the pavilion.
America Gardens is a strange location for this in between event, but it is such a great location and pretty under-utilized, maybe that is why?

it is such a great location and pretty under-utilized, maybe that is why?

however true, it doesn't quite justify putting rocket raccoon in the war wagon

 

[The Empress Lilly]

The rotunda is a place of calm reflection to me. Dignified and stately. I don't need to hear screaming comic book superheroes cheered on by drunks as I try to reflect on the virtues that made America.

Why did EPCOT ever decide to destroy itself to cater to the drunk lout?

 

[crxbrett]

“We want to keep it true to the original vision while making it more timeless and more Disney,” said Disney Parks chairman Bob Chapek.

That's the biggest line of BS I think I have ever heard lol True to what original vision?? And how is it more timeless and more Disney??? Mr Chapek, you are truly clueless.

Bob Chapek is such a hypocrite...

 

[matt9112]

They pretty much are forced to do parties like this during the summer months until new things open....IMHO

if only they planned on building things you know for the past 10 years? I mean it's almost like this crapfest shell of a park could havee been avoided by a multi billion dollar company....if only.

Drunk louts (a) spend lots of money to get that way, and (b) continue to spend to stay that way.
