Did it mention anything about timing for this renovation? Heading there in February and would be a bummer if it is down
Edit, looks like it will be down when I go and not opening until the spring

Yeah, well much rather this be down than like Phantom Manor or their Big Thunder ... And we do have reservations for the Remy restaurant so assuming that will still be open

Agreed, especially since we already have an artist's loft scene. Possible, no doubt. But, I would hope the budget would go elsewhere right now.
(Which remains one of my biggest disappointments. I thought that was going to be the framing device for the attraction - that you were going into Remy's cookbook or something. I thought that was a much better story, especially for EPCOT.)

I am definitely in the minority here, but I can't stand people who don't like 3D and complain about it.
I used to love going to the movies and seeing films in 3D, especially the animated Pixar ones, as it really made the experience so much better imho.
On rides, it adds so much depth to the experience, and I would really be upset if they took away our 3D here as well in the future.

A lot of people don't like the 3D and prefer this attraction just 2D...

At first glance, I thought this was in the old countryside house at the beginning of the film, so I got excited thinking we’d get rouge granny with a shotgun!
Then I read the caption.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day has been ruined.

Seems like a passion project that doesn't really contribute to the ride narrative or IP beyond understated world-building. I can appreciate it on merit, Ars Gratia Artis but I wouldn't care one way or another if this made its way to EPCOT.

It’s an odd choice for WDSP. Probably the last place I’d want to spend money in that park. I feel similarly toward Epcot. Spend the money in Future World.

They should make 2D glasses for those that don't like the 3D and have it optional instead of turning it off for everyone.
These exist, just not in the parks. It's a great suggestion. Someone should make this pitch contacting Disney directly. It'd be of benefit for DAS and guests incapable of seeing 3D films, should they get headaches or have visual impairments.

OR if a ride is made with 3D being a major component of it, just make the ride how you developed it and people who don't like 3D don't need to go on!
It's a crazy concept, I know, but everything doesn't need to be for everyone! If they make a coaster and during the development they decide they want it to have inversions, some people will not like that, and that's fine! They either go on or don't!
The sense of entitlement that a lot of people have these days, especially at places like theme parks where they are trying to have a vast number of different experiences for every type of person, is insane. These people are selfish and think that everything should be for only them. They're the ones who complain and are the loudest and cause Disney to do things like remove 3D from A 3D RIDE LOL!!!! Disney is the best in the game at having experiences for every type of person all throughout their parks, but these type of people want to ruin things for others just because they don't like it or their bodies (physically and mentally) can't handle it. Like I get it, 3D causes major mental strain on a lot of people. But that's on the individual to NOT GO ON A RIDE THAT IS 3D! That's not on Disney to stop making 3D rides altogether when they work so well for certain experiences, like Ratatouille, Flight of Passage, and Spider-Man for some examples.
(P.S.: I am talking about the Spider-Man ride in Islands of Adventure, and yes I know that is Universal and not Disney lol. Was just giving an example of 3 very good rides that use 3D as major components to make them work)

Ugh, is there an exact closing date? Will be there the last 4 days of October and this is a super bummer if it’s down

I guess the big difference between my suggestion and your hypothetical is that offering 2D glasses is that offering 2D glasses wouldn't affect the ride experience for those that continue to wear 3D glasses.
I think most people would agree that there can be some reasonable accommodations if it allows more people to enjoy an attraction.
Think of Little mermaid and it's special wheelchair shell. This extends the standby line because if no one in a wheel chair shows up, that claim shell goes empty and wastes capacity. However, I'm glad that clamshell is there in case I am ever in a situation where I need it.

I don't think it is overly complicated and requires analysis or blaming people for this or that. There just seems to be a legitimately large number of guests (and it seems Disney itself) that believes this particular attraction is actually a better experience in 2D. I have heard this noise coming out of Paris long before it was cloned for Epcot.
Disney could easily provide 2D glasses for those who do
Or Disney's just being cheap and doesn't want to deal with the cost of cleaning/maintaining the 3D glasses

This is one of those occasions where I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
