I don't know which park I'm at anymore, way to go Disney.

I don't know which park I'm at anymore, way to go Disney.

Were Liberty Square and the American Adventure previously confusing for you? Tomorrowland and Future World? Africa and African Outpost? Not saying they haven’t lost the plot with the overarching EPCOT narrative, but particular styles have never really been bound to specific parks. The pavilion, attraction, or land defines the style.

Ah yes, Classic Epcot.

Well done, WDI, well done.

sorry but you missed the point, I was expressing distaste that they are plopping anything and everything anywhere now, when this design/style/theme clearly belonged in AK.

The only way Disney would make the fans happy is to give them a pavilion where they can complain nonstop.

So….

I have been invited to check out this new area next week.
A friend of mine who currently works on Property extended a opportunity, knowing how much of a Epcot ‘purist’ I am.

Will keep ya’all in mind when having a look around and experiencing some of the features in person.
Interested to explore this and see what it entails.

The theme honestly has very little to do with Animal Kingdom since it has nothing to do with animals. My point is that forest and nature are not the exclusive aesthetic purview of AK, and Disney has never had qualms about having incredibly similarly themed areas and attractions in different parks even on the same property. Many children probably blur together Liberty Square/Hall of Presidents and American Adventure, for instance.

The fact that they once envisioned a rainforest-themed coaster and a hedge maze in front of The Seas and The Land as part of Project Gemini means they've been considering transforming nearby areas in a similar way for quite a while.

It has zero to do with DAK

 

[MisterPenguin]

Saying JoW should be in DAK not only misses that JoW doesn't have animals, but mistaking Disney Animal Kingdom as Disney Jungle Kingdom.

Just because most of DAK is tropical jungles doesn't mean that anything that is tropical-jungle-ish belongs in DAK.

Do you prefer:

1. Whineders of Life Pavilion, or...​

​

2. Wonders of Strife Pavilion?​

I thought that's what Imagination was for.

Animal Kingdom is dedicated to and themed around natural environment and animal conservation. It has a lot more to do with AK than it does "Future World" in EPCOT

I believe Disney's plan is to have 4 Magic Kingdom-like parks, just with different icons

This isn't Future World anymore. That spaceship earth has sailed.

But its not in Future world as that no longer exists. Its on the borders of World Celebration and World Nature - sounds like a fit to me.

Because “World Celebration” means absolutely nothing.

Genius WDI! A theme with no theme so everything fits as its themed!

I will be attending a cast preview on September 5th, and the attached email says photo and video are highly encouraged. Not super surprising to me but it seems like they don't really care about a spoiler embargo for this.

It’s called… unleash the faithful

So what do you say when it’s something placed just in the middle of other things (communicore, seas, land, jii) that all have a different aesthetic?

It’s not a different land - it’s literally in the walkway inbetween otherwise shared designs
