What is the plan for Innoventions East and West?

[raymusiccity]

For reference, here is the current utilization of Innoventions.

Wow. That's probably the saddest interpretation of the word 'utilization' that we've seen in a long time. Getting sadder all of the time! :-(

I think Mexico added breakfast as the Frozen ride opens at 9am so lots of guests pass through there, unfortunately I don't think it was busy as most guests went straight to Norway so I wouldn't expect to see Mexican breakfast back.

Yeah one word KRINGLA!!! Who wouldnt stop there

I believe they just neglected to remove it. Last time I was there a few weeks ago it was on the app so I assumed it was back, but the CMs said the app was wrong and they don't serve it anymore. If this is still the case, it is really poor show that they are yet to fix that.

I'll likely be there tomorrow though so I'll check them.

The hot breakfast items did go from the website menu and then come back again. Pastries and drinks have always been served. I did read on another forum that the current website menu is correct. But it may have changed again of course.

I didn't think they would start transitioning FW until next year at the soonest. So this is great news. Especially excited LaL is being reworked.

I think it would work pretty well if they moved it to Disney Springs.

It kind of has (in the Coke store rooftop). It's just not free there.

Please tell me the Millennium Celebration tarps are going away!.

That's the plan.

Does the central spine include any changes for Spaceship Earth? The Siemens contract should be running up during that timeframe, right?

No. Aside from potential queue modifications the attraction itself would be under a separate project.

So there is something on the table for SSE? I'm guessing Siemens sponsorship is coming to an end soon (10 years would be 2017, wouldn't it?).

Siemens I believe are renewing. What the plans are for SSE I don't know.

@marni1971... I know that Project Kaleidoscope was supposed to include more than just the Innoventions paint scheme. Obviously the project was bagged, but do you know at what point it was killed?

I've no idea. The painting seems to have been a localised project where as this bigger one seems to be Burbank approved.

Would that renewal extend to IllumiNations and a rumored new show?

There will be a new show. Who sponsors it I don't know.

We really enjoyed our time in FW on this past trip. I'm very excited for these projects. I hope they will reopen back some of the blocked entrances to the Communicore bldgs that were closed off for the Innoventions remodel. Also I hope to see a clean white paint scheme on the buildings to match SSE lounge building as well as the windows films removed. @marni1971 What you mentioned about the NW corner is also exciting. I hate how that corner of the park by Coral Reef is a dead end. Maybe they will make a new entrance to the building for that area. Also, do you know if there will be any updates or additions to the fiber optics in the sidewalks?

I absolutely love IROE. My family is so big Disney fans my cousin got married and danced to We Go On. I like change, as long as it is for the better. Do you have any idea if any of the score will stick?

This is the first time I've heard of Project Kaleidoscope, that's what gave Innoventions its current paint scheme? What else was supposed to be involved with this project?

 

[admiral-ari-x]

That's the plan.

I think this is the best news I've heard for this park in a very long time...

 

[flynnibus]

Hmm, and exactly how does a M&G equal profit?

Do you teleport in and out of the M&G locations?

 

[LuvtheGoof]

Do you teleport in and out of the M&G locations?

Just wondering how adding additional M&G above what is already there is going to drive profit. I can't see people adding a park hopper or a day at EPCOT ONLY for a M&G, which is kinda what the poster was inferring.
