Guessing a Blue Sky Cellar type display makes it here after D23.

That is what most are expecting judging from the press release.

so you've had the food already? wow...that's amazing

Recent history hasn’t lead me to believe otherwise

This might be for the new experience center since it is an address I have seen associated with Odyssey in the past...

Work now underway on the new Experience Center in Epcot's Odyssey pavilion

Epcot News

The end of the Flower and Garden Festival means work can now begin on the Odyssey as a showcase for the changes to Epcot.

Curious what festivals will do now that they lost odyssey and wonders pavilion?

So... They're changing a pavilion to showcase changes to other pavilions.

I feel like they'll keep an area for the festivals there, especially with Food and Wine coming up in a few months. I'd think that would give them enough time to at least get a portion of it completed that could be used for the seminars and to sell merch

Our favorite restrooms are closed?

So just curious, Epcot Food and Wine Festival Center used to be in the Wonders of Life Pavilion but now that is under construction and I thought they said they were moving it to the Odyssey. Now that is being turned into the New Experience Center so where will the Festival Center be now? Will it be in the old Millennium Celebration Pavilion?

Will the Ladder be on display?

It seems unlikely that all of Odyssey will be for a model of new Future World. I'm guessing it will take on Festival Center duties, too.

Also maybe Innoventions East and the World Showplace Pavilion.

Also maybe the Land and the Seas since I hear they're going to be razed.

Not to bring this up again, but do we think there will be further statements or explanation on this in the experience center? Disney’s official response seems weak. Sorry to add to the ground swell on this. Here is Disney’s official response.Disney responds to rumors that two Epcot pavilions are getting demolished

A Certain Site claimed this. Disney PR has dismissed it. I included it as a topical reference. And what is up with airplane food? Am I right?

You're link is broke. There really isn't much more to say about something that may or may not happen five years from now.

From what i under stand this experience center should have some throw backs to old Epcot in it. Maybe a rainbow??
