[Patcheslee]

Can it even be called the play pavilion yet?

Sure, Disney playing tricks

The exclamation point should be changed because right now it’s more like the PLAY? Pavilion

No hints, I have zero inside information. But I hope any Encanto content is limited to a M&G. Wasn't impressed by the movie.

I mean…it wasn’t canceled. I don’t know that it will open in a year though. It certainly can if they want it to still.

I feel like they'll end up doing something with the building eventually, but it wouldn't shock me to have a brand new announcement of something that is very different at Destination D23 next year or at D23 Expo in 2024. The fact they announced nothing at the latest Expo is not a great sign.

Thanks for the response. I think it’s important for Disney to resume work on this project to help restore some lost capacity at Epcot.

Ugh, I was really hoping it had been silently axed like Mary Poppins.

Then maybe they'd come up with a concept that wasn't a waste of a pavilion space.

Greatest thing to happen would be if they reimagined those plans to do an updated Wonders of Life pavilion.. but again, only time will tell and we’ll just have to hope management changes sooner than later

They need to add an actual ride back to the pavilion. I’m not sure what IP would work in this location but something a little more substantial than the initial plans would be nice.

Balance. Some Cranium Command, Body Wars, Inside Out, Soul… pretty simple.

Can’t see this roof work being a nudge to the pavilion actually getting worked on.

I hope they stick to the plan they’ve set for it but I’m not hopeful

Well while we are at lets have a theatre playing "How to play ... [insert sport] by Goofy" shorts as well and call it the Well-being Pavilion.

Does this mean my idea for turning this into a World's Fair Pavilion complete with it's a small world, One Mans' Dream, Carousel of Progress and Horizons Century 3 isn't happening?
