Maybe to learn lessons for the future?
In no way can one of your parks have so much of it closed off for nearly half a decade for utter nonsensity EVER AGAIN.
And for what? Rocks and trees.

It could've worked much better if they did not go the Polynesian route, but instead made the lampposts, signs and theming modern. It still could have featured Moana, TeFiti and the rocks and vegetation and all, but it would have fit the park much better and get less backlash I think.

You're right, he was spinning in his grave when EPCOT Center opened. How dare they turn his city of tomorrow into a glorified world's fair.

I'm old enough to remember when we were supposed to be excited about the Adventurers Club being replaced with seed & mulch.

Speaking of nature, but has nothing to do with the price of tea in China, look in the evening sky 15 minutes after sunset for the Blue Moon!

How to take a photo of August's 'blue supermoon'
Photographers and would-be-photographers will have the opportunity to take a picture of the first blue supermoon of the year, which is also the last one until 2037.

The walls coming down is the only thing I am looking forward to !!Can they just put the walls back up ?
The themeing and everything about it is just ghastly.
Walt would hang his head in shame to see what they did to his beloved Epcot. It just makes no sense at all.

Hyperion Wharf was so much fun.

Oh how certain everyone was that Hyperion Wharf was a real thing and it wasn't just imagineering throwing out blue sky ideas that they never ever had any intention of actually building.

Even in Hypothetical Land the Play Pavilion sounded pretty lame...

The reason it didn’t move forward is just because they couldn’t get enough tenants interested. They tried again with a bigger and more appealing plan four years later and that one worked.

It's bizarre that they went to the trouble of creating a new "pavilion" symbol for JOW. Then as far as I can tell, it's nowhere to be found on the site signage.
Right??? I know it’s a variation on the Moana logo, but why didn’t they put the new one in the entrance rock work??
I have all the financials here and I could tell you, but I couldn't find "splash pad" in the docs.

Disney's vision was impossible to implement. Disregarding the issue of voters, you can't experiment with people's live (as John Hench said) so it would have become just "E"You're right, he was spinning in his grave when EPCOT Center opened.

They don’t want the big logo to be the thing that they came up with for the primary purpose of generating interest and selling merchandise to fans of old Epcot. They want the actual Moana logo on the rock because that’s from the movie Moana! To the folks in charge, Epcot just happened to have a vacant plot of land open that Moana filled.
