News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

[Naplesgolfer]

Kiddy and tween playground under the dome. A small Entertainment stage, another small themed interactive show, a walk through, a hide and seek playground and M&G. Some retail, and some QS.

Thanks for response Marni! When my grandchildren are older I will be happy to visit this.

In other words, for adults without kids, this is about a 15 minute experience at best.

Well having said that, Epcot is mostly for adults. The park really lacks engaging stuff for kids. And I'm referring to stuff without a height requirement. Yes, there are kids who like Spaceship Earth, Living With The Land and Journey Into Imagination but the former two most would probably find boring and the latter some find terrifying (I did as a kid. Lots of loud noises in the dark and jump scares). At the end of the day, it leaves Nemo, Three Cabelleros and Frozen. However, with Ratatouille, Mary Poppins and the Play Pavilion, Epcot will begin to have a good lineup for kids even if the classic Epcot rides are boring.

Pretty much.

It’ll have a pretty ceiling.

Is the mobile being removed? I'm assuming it is...

 

[Dragonman]

I’m gonna miss that mobile if it goes. Added a nice touch of animation to the pavilion.

So, when you say kiddy/tween, is that the main focus or the entire pavilion? Is there gonna be anything targeted towards older age groups whatsoever, or is that mainly next door?

Two minutes.

Ten if they have a beer booth in November.

They’d hope so.

I'll just be the one dude replaying Hotel Heist over and over.

Nothing wrong with that.

I do enjoy the animation building a time DCA. If this was anything like that, then this is a win in my opinion. Especially before the Frozen meet & greet took over Ursula's lair. Lovely place to hang out during the rain as well.

Bring back the bikes.

Bring back the bikes.

Little kid me loved tooling around Magic Kingdom on those things.

Looks like they’re doing the same kind of work to the Body Wars show building as Cranium Command.

You have to wonder what will be in CC or BW although i'm sure one will be a M&G section..
