Ooooo man, I just saw the first part of the title and not "for refurbishment". I almost freaked out man. hahaha. Random bad ideas ran through my head.

That's really good to see. It seems like this show has been in rough shape for years and really needed this.
Happy they took their time and did a proper refurb, something Disneyland seems to do a lot but WDW is mostly allergic to more than once every few decades.

They removed the quote from Walt Disney and one from Ayn Rand I believe in the lobby. I didn’t want to take pictures because people were sitting there but hopefully they return.

Thanks. I was worried they were going to change out the ending movie again. Glad it was an up-and-down needed refurb. Better late than never but should have been done before the start of the 50th anniversary.

Walt Disney is too problematic for EPCOT now?
The quotes come and go with refurbs. Ayn Rand's quote was gone once and I thought, "good riddance," and yet, it came back.

I'd be surprised to see Walt's quote disappear. Ayn Rand, on the other hand, is an interesting inclusion!

The Walt quote can and should return. No idea why they removed it. I gather that there is indeed a faction in the company who considers Walt Disney "problematic" (much of which isn't for the reasons you might think when you see that word) and would like to erase him. But at the same time, i'm not sure how much power they wield at the moment, or if this was why his AA quote was removed. For as many examples that you can find of them removing traces of Walt, they've added new ones such as statues and other exposure.

Maybe they're just rearranging quotes and pictures in the lobby? I forget where exactly those two quotes were placed before.
Maybe they want to put up ads for National Treasure on Disney+ instead.

At the same time they were refurbishing AA to remove 'problematic Walt' they added him to the 50th MK nighttime show. Makes perfect sense!
This is more conspiracy theory based on nothing. Just like that phony rumor awhile back that they were going to remove Walt's name from Walt Disney World because he is 'problematic.'
As if all the things named "Disney" doesn't also reference the same person as "Walt."

Yes, people keep asserting that Disney is trying to cancel Walt, but it's hard to see any evidence for it. For one thing, they're not only not tearing down their existing Walt statues, but in fact building a new one that will look across the park toward American Adventure.
That he looks like he's on the toilet is a separate issue.

Quotes were moved around for the Soul of Jazz exhibit. There is also a red backdrop currently in place as part of the gingerbread display, hiding some quotes. I don’t think anyone was “cancelled”.

Were the paintings that were removed for that exhibition ever brought back?
