Galaxy’s Edge is really cool. End post

I hadn't realized that Infinity Train was that fantastic! I'll have to check it out!Nickelodeon's been killing it recently between Dora and the Lost City of Gold being shockingly great and Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling being one of the most satisfying 90's cartoon revivals I've ever seen. Cartoon Network is also really on point with Infinity Train. That might not live up to the heights of "Over the Garden Wall", but it gets darn close and has a second season to expand upon things. Disney has also been killing it with DuckTales and a potentially looming Disney Afternoon Cinematic Universe. Nice to see that at least on TV 2D animation is thriving and producing really high quality work.
D23 Park Updates Thus Far: (This will be updated over time with each new announcement)
-- The Marvel land at DCA will be called "Avengers Campus" and be interwoven with the Paris and Hong Kong Marvel lands with the narrative that the Avengers are recruiting new heroes the world over, and these lands serve as their campuses.
-- The Star Wars hotel being built near Hollywood Studios' Galaxy's Edge will be called "Star Wars: Galactic Cruiser."
-- At Epcot, Innoventions West will be removed to make way for the expanded plaza. As part of the new plaza, a walkthrough called "Moana: Journey of Water" will be opening. More on this development will be announced Sunday, but for now, this is what Disney has said: "This first-ever attraction based on the Walt Disney Animation Studios hit film, “Moana,” will let guests interact with magical, living water in a beautiful and inspiring setting."
-- The Odyssey will play host to "Walt Disney Imagineering presents the Epcot Experience", which will give guests a sneak peek at all the upcoming additions the park.
-- Disney has said that Epcot will be split into "four neighborhoods" -- Blog Mickey surmises that this will apply to Future World only -- but no further information has dropped about that yet.
-- The Future World pavilion logos are coming back.
-- Laughing Place on Twitter shared this photograph of an Epcot model, heavily implying that Coco will be added to the Mexico pavilion.
-- Furthermore, Disney also released this nifty bit of concept art:
If this concept art is any indication, they are emulating the original Epcot concept art from around the time the park was to open:
EDIT: Attractions Magazine has uploaded this video, detailing concept art from Epcot's transformation.
What intrigues me about this video is how it gives us a more in-depth look at the new plaza replacing Innoventions. In addition to the new restaurant replacing Electric Umbrella and the new beer garden, we'll also be getting new fountains, unique lighting in the trees and a garden area inspired by Alice in Wonderland. And is it just me, or does the acrobatics group depicted at 3:11 make me feel like we'll see Kristos returning? (Also, seeing how Innoventions Plaza looked in that video, the new plaza will be so much of an improvement.)
As said above, I will update this post with all the information that will come on Sunday! See ya then!
