Hey everyone, some WDW news here from EPCOT, the Journey into Imagination banner is missing now, possibly from Hurricane Mathew preparation from last week, but it is still missing. Your thoughts on this? Wild rumors could be forming here.

Calling it. They are bringing back Dreamfinder.

There's been rumors that Imagination is getting a make over for a few years now, I think since the new Soarin' and the Frozen stuff is finished there's no excuse put off an Imagination refurb... but I wouldn't read that much into a missing banner, they're probably just too cheap/lazy to put it back up

If they make a new one and dream finder is on the banner speculation will kick into high gear
It is very strange, I just left EPCOT a few minutes ago and the banner was still gone (duh) but I wonder what's going on. Putting up a new banner is the least of their worries I'm sure. It's probably nothing but you never know.

I mean, it was ugly anyway. I would kind of prefer it not come back and just use the main Imagination! pavilion sign for it.
Why would the Dreamfinder be on the sign for an attraction of which he currently has nothing to do with?

Merchandise my friend to sell more
I can't tell if that's a bad joke, or if I don't understand what you're talking about.

Hopefully one step better and replacing it with one that isn't faded. But, that's probably a big dream. It seems logical that they might have taken it down because of Matthew. I have never understood why it was just put up there as a temporary cloth banner to begin with. It always looked so cheap and never really related to what was inside as far as theme was concerned.

I always thought it had something to do with the fact that the theme of the ride was an "open house" of the Imagination Institute, and the banners next to the main one promoted this.

Yea, I guess I can see that... but there should have been a permanent Imagination Institute sign with no more then an open house sign. It just never set well with me, ever.

No - it's a conspiracy of missing signage.

So are you saying that someone or someone(s) are going around and stealing signage from dead or near dead pavilions to create a mystery of sorts to entice us into making ridiculous scenarios concerning their disappearance? Very interesting! Perhaps Universal is behind this situation. No signs means no one goes and everyone ends up at Harry Potter. Clever group, those Uni folks. It pays to have a Wizard in your employ!

Not to worry though because our blue people from Avatar will beat up their Wizard. That will show them.

The Imagination Pavilion is such a sad shell of its former self that it almost pains me just to look at it.
