Not exactly. Dreamer’s Point is basically going to be everything from the former flower bed behind Project Tomorrow up until approximately where the Pin Station used to stand.

There were plans, it seems, to completely reconfigure Project Tomorrow and make a whole new exit building that would spill out onto Dreamer’s Point. Unclear if that is still happening.

Thanks for the clarification. That's what I thought was happening.

Last night in Epcot it seemed like they were testing Play! screens again.

Thank you!

That's pretty much what I saw except the screens were a more solid blue - or at least that's what I remember, it's been over a month - and the (white) lights were all on. This time, it looks like the lights were off and they had actual images up on the screens. Either way, it's very interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing the photo!

Think Innoventions right before they tore it out. Or the current Imageworks. Or the Spaceship Earth post show area. Big, carpeted, mostly empty, with some random meet-and-greets and computer games that will be outdated before the place opens. It’s… kinda exactly what was there before they closed WoL, but with no educational content, a lot more IPs, and none of the three attractions.

Probably best to think of it as a transitional phase in the pavilions evolution from unused festival space to… unused festival space.

No educational content?! Guests will be educated on the most important aspect of the Walt Disney Company: its current IPs. If Chapek’s Magic is too hot for you, you best stay out of the board room.

I'm willing to accept Guardians. It fits thematically with it's corresponding theme.

The Play pavilion is the one I don't get at all, for the new Discovery section. It seems like the real estate could have been used more effectively. Like with a Wall-E attraction for example.

Could you elaborate on how? (And I'm asking genuinely!) The Discovery section seems a mishmash of technology, scifi, and space travel. I'm interested in hearing from people that see it as cohesive and why. (For example, I could see TT, M:S and maybe even Play connect under technology. I could see M:S and Guardians fit under real and fantasy space travel. I've always struggled to see how they all fit together and a story that could connect them.)
