@S.P.E.W I hope you don't mind me asking a question today, just curious to see what everyone thinks!

About an hour ago, it was "announced" that the Wonders Of Life Pavilion will no longer be used as a Festival Center (looks like the cones on the roof of WoL were serious @spacemt354 ).

What would you put in the pavilion? Would you keep its former theme, or update it to be themed around something else?

I asked that question more than a week ago when we were seeing cones on the roofs.

I would spilt epcot into two sections:
Earth and space.
Earth would have spaceship earth, imagination, the seas, and the land.
Space will have gotg, mission space, the restaurant and the wol replacement.
The replacement being a space dark ride using the horizons ride system, as a reference to the plans that mission space initially had.
The building itself will stay, partially as queue and partially as a post show area similar to imageworks and the sensory funhouse.

Main Imagineering Question of the Day:
What would you do with the All Star Resorts? Improve or Remove? Would you improve it? What would you replace it with?

I think they serve their purpose well -- they aren't advertised as some deluxe option and I don't think they need to be given their distance from most other parks...they're also good for housing high school teams competing in Wide World of Sports.

They could use a renovation of sorts, but nothing too extreme...tying into another question perhaps in the future the Skyliner could provide direct transport to the Wide World of Sports Center from the All Stars

Yeah, as someone who probably would never have been able to afford to stay on Disney property growing up if it wasn't for cheap rooms at the All Stars, I'd almost vote they should make them worse so they can even more affordable lol.

All joking aside, they fill a necessary purpose. And I'm personally a fan of the cheesey atmosphere. All Stars, Pop Century, and Art of Animation are some of my favorites.

What I'd do is actually add a fourth all star. All Star Gaming. With buildings themed to different genres or eras of Video Games.

Imagineering Question of the Day: (Inspired by last week’s challenge from @D Hindley ‘s One Sentence Competition) Originally, there was an eighth port called Glacier Bay, and another for Scandinavia with a Frozen area. However neither has seen the light of day. Would you rather revise one of the ports or create a new port*?
*This cannot be from the before mentioned challenge.

Glacier Bay would be my first choice, as it would complete the original lineup of DisneySEA’s zones, but a Beastly Kingdom inspired zone, prehistoric, Polynesian, and a Pirates of The Caribbean land ala Treasure Cove come to mind.

Bonus Question:If you were to give your land attractions, what would they be?
Click to expand...
Attractions would vary from zone to zone but I would like an E-Ticket attraction and a dark ride to be present.

That would be neat! Gaming would have a lot of directions they could take with the theme of the pool and static figures... Wreck it Ralph or Epic Mickey maybe?

With the out of control pricing at the resorts and Disney now pushing the moderates to become moderates at old pseudo-deluxe prices, finding a room for $99 a night for a family on a budget at the All-Stars, or maybe a family suite for $150 at Art of Animation -- helps out a ton when it comes to the price of a trip.

Remove. Disney seems to have every resort theme under the sun, but honestly I kinda want the disney institute back, just make it a little less educational, have it filled with interactive activities instead.

What kills me is that Universal does value so much better. I stayed at Cabana Bay last year and it was incredible. Comparable price for so much more. I wish Disney would step up their game on affordable accommodations (especially with their obsession with keeping guests on property), but I doubt we’ll see that anytime soon.
