News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[The Empress Lilly]

For this: it represents a recognition of nostalgia and beauty that needs to be a permanent concern in Epcot. Doesn’t forgive the bad choices recently made...but it’s a good step.

I'm still tempted to enter, ride SSE, do The Land, then leave again straight away while the great unwashed entertains itself with beer & coasters. But at least it will be a pretty flash visit.

now if they'd only bring the wand back..

yea ya heard me

Sure, I've got that wand right here. Why don't you bend over and

We're still trying to undo all the damage of that era. Weird to think though that both RoE and the Wand are products of that same celebration. Some of the best and worst of EPCOT ever.

At least the commercials were good.






Sneak Peek of the celebration from 1998


The theme song for the celebration "Celebrate the future Hand in Hand"


"The Millenian Celebration" (1999) along with the "100 Years Of Magic" (2001) was one of last major celebrations that Walt Disney World actually put effort and went all out.

I actually liked the wand, but only for the Millennium Celebration. Should have come down after that.

This is problably nothing...but just noticed a big difference here...probably just missed by the artist. (The section between the supports)

What the artist really missed was all the nasty stained roof tops and skidmarks on the monorail lines.

I know that not everyone is a fan of the Leave a Legacy "art", tomb stones, or other names given to this area over the years. I am pleased that they are moving it and we will still have access to it. The new area inside the entrance will be much nicer and Disney didn't alienate a bunch of us that enjoy seeing our plaques from years ago. And I know they only promised to show them for x-number of years, but I think this is a win-win for all. Well done Disney!

Because “celebrations” were an Eisner thing...

Upsells are the iger thing.

Scoff if you must...but it’s hard to argue

No guarantee that will be there forever

And cupcakes, don't forget cupcakes!

I don't see carts selling food and merch in the artist's rendering, how realistic can it be???

Been there, done that. Kind of.

SSE, Land. Showcase at 11 for China, America, France and Canada. Then bail when the unwashed begin to arrive.

 

[pixargal]

you have 340 days a year of 80+ degrees, high humidity, artificial 60 degree air blasted at all times...carpeting....

It’s like club med for mold.

Wow! There must be a crazy amount of mold for it to be that smelly. Thanks for the explanation.

 

[pixargal]

Yes, their fix for the mold is to remove the buildings. Except Mouse Gear, you'll still probably still smell it there for the next decade. LOL

It’s so bad. But, it may be a good thing because I save money by not being able to stay in there long

 

[The_Jobu]

I feel weird...

Is this what it feels like when Disney announces area re-dos you actually look forward to?

This is strange. Someone hold me.

Single ladies only please

 

[Bocabear]

Before you get too comfy remember the Play Pavilion...lol

I must admit I liked Tapestry of Nations. Old school Disney. Grand and over the top cheesy, completely non-ironic.

It's better than nothing. At least the Pavilion can finally be open to the general public again.

People like the song...

The parade itself was an equine latrine

I liked the narration too. I thought it was pretty. Not a big deal. There won't be another parade unless there is some complicated route that winds its way through tarped off kiosks and everyone in the parade or watching signs a trip hazard waiver.

 

[*Q*]

If the fact that the Epcot overhaul even has its own logo like this doesn't warrant a subforum, I don't know what does.
