Rumor Is the End of Innoventions Near?

[deWild]

Based on what they're doing, it seems that with the Future World theme dying off, that the World Showcase theme will encroach more and more on what was Future World. Welcome to FestCOT.

I feel like there’s something better, buttttt I’ll take what I can get I guess. Thanks for clarifying!

Are they going to go so far as to kill the name? I would concur that the concept is dead with the changes.

@marni1971 had indicated that's a possibility, along with a name change for Epcot itself (but still keeping some form of "epcot" in the name, most likely). But, as we've seen with the supposed name change for DHS... these things may never come to fruition.

Since Disney doesn't seem to really care to distinguish the parks from one another anymore, why bother changing the names and save themselves the money on changing all of the signage and stuff

Any comments on information posted elsewhere on the web about the proposed layout of the new core?

 

[AdventureMP4z]

Yeah I think it may be partially true. A beer garden doesn't sound EPCOT.

Not great!

The precise shapes and exact locations may be a little off but it’s more or less what you’re getting.

I saw this posted on the site which cannot be named. Is what they are reporting accurate?

Does this imply that you personally will be getting a different version?

So far as I know, pretty much. Aside from like I said exact location and footprints.

Wait for the rooftop bar.

So they are removing the fountain? Or is that one of the things they missed?

So to be clear - FW will now be - Party City(festival City?) in core? I honestly can't wait to see how they remarket FW. Nothing future about a festival center and beer garden a regular garden and so on and so on and so on. Wow, I now understand your concern for future of Epcot @marni1971

I like the gardens and the new water features - very disappointed that the Fountain of Nations is not long for this world.

I love the Art of Disney stores so I'm very disappointed that we're losing Epcot's.

The rest I'm kind of ambivalent too - the only thing I'm still really dead against is the ham-handed inclusion of GotG (don't like it, never will), otherwise I'm so long past the point of acceptance that the Epcot I was introduced to and fell in love with is dead that I'm kind of intrigued to see how this all pans out and what the end product resembles, rather than still sad or disappointed about what is happening.

Awesome!!! Sacrificing Fountain of Nations for more beer!!! Because Epcot has no other locations that sell beer!!

Then again, the fountain doesn't generate revenue

I forget which site this news is on that can't be directly linked. Can someone give a hint please?

Is there a time line for when this will start?

A beer garden instead of the fountain????? I don’t like this one bit!!!! And I love beer
