I would have to agree. On the recent trips I have taken it seems that most of the guest are in WS. Its like they know that there is nothing worth seeing in FW except maybe Soarin and Test Track which they probably did at park opening. EPCOT is two parks in one and as of right now only one of the two parks is working.

This! I don't think there is any lack of great ideas within WDI, there is just a lack of willingness to build them.

Great ideas cost $ and for that TDO seems to be waiting until it can line up sponsors. Sponsorship does not seem to be a reality now and I doubt it will be in the future, either. TDO seems unable to adjust to this possibility and as a result nothing gets done in FW.

Exactly!! ... the problem we have going forward though is managing the frustration levels of those creatives as their projects never go past "ideas" and them being retained through these dead periods ... and then the frustration levels of guests (which I'm assuming will grow??) as EPCOT continues to stagnate.
You could also move StormStruck from Innoventions, and get something new for there as well!

Ok. So I guess I need to clear up a few things to at least correct some of the misleading information here.
First off, WDI is not located behind Mission:Space. It's across the street behind WOL.
Speaking of WOL, it has been rezoned for convention use only. Sorry, the Body Wars simulators were completely removed a year ago. The rooms are used for storage of Future World East attraction hehicle parts.
Imagination cannot be adapted for a ride like Pooh's Honey Hunt. That system calls for a completely level floor and Imagination has multi level areas through the entire building as the original ride was supposed to have "coaster-like" elements to it. In order to put in a ride like PHH they'd have to completely level the building and start from scatch. I've said this countless times over the years yet this still comes up here constantly.
Rats have infested the France Pavilion already but not as an attrction. The rat problem between Morocco and Canada has gotton out of control in the past few months. And no, cats are not released during the night to help with the problem.
My wish would be that they would completey gut Stupid Judy and work in something new over there. No one really goes over there anymore anyway. Also take the princesses out of Norway (turing the restaurant back into a Norwegian establishment) and put the ladies over in Odyssey giving them all the room the want for stroller parking while keeping out of everyone's way. Put Michael to rest for good and upgrade the Magic Eye Theater into an original attraction.
l post a nugget-of-joy of some upcoming projects for WDW. Each is a different project that dosn't relate to one another. This is merely something I put together to be a "hint" that I won't give answers to but have fun anyway!

That Norway part especially, the place is an out of control zoo, it use to be so nice, but no anything nice isnt allowed to be left alone. As for the picture hints. that MK hub one sure is interesting...as for the smuckers pic I would guess maybe they are going to sponsor something, epcotish/the land, something etc. Its fun to speculate.
oh and ps: reopen the garden grill for lunch already!!! they could be making more money with this location, too many dead zones in epcot.

Do you know if rats have been found in the kitchen of Chefs De France?
I am asking that because I have a ADR I later this year at Chefs De France and I was looking trying the bakery at Boulangerue Patisserie also.

Well, Smuckers did buy the Knott's jelly business.
Oh hmm does smuckers sponsor anything at WDW?

Yes. The Yankee Trader store has their name on it.
Thanks.
Now to figure out what that clue is for....Also hope the shot of the hub is in reference to either we are getting trees back in the center or that maybe the stage show is going away, but I am not getting my hopes up.We
Hope it would be EO then. All Soarin needs is a digital upgrade and some cleaning for now. It is just a shame that is all we could be looking at for Epcot in the next couple of years.

Then level the building and start from scratch. That would be an upgrade for what's in Imagination! now. The current ride isn't taking advantage of a "multi level structure" or any "coaster elements" so why not?
As a former Exterminator this is going to take a couple of months for TDO to clean up. Do they use an outside Contracor or in house because a Rat problem is serious exspecialy since it has gotten out of hand.
