I know where Disney's best, absolute best, water features are! Grizzly Peak in DCA! That's where! Astounding, epic, thundering, almost miraculous waterfalls! Now those are water features! Thank you for this, more than Dallinesqe report, Sir! And you are right. Other than the "what were they thinking" rusty benches, the make-over is fairly appropriate and beautiful! Yay trees! And BRAVO to them for excommunicating the "turkey neck" faux pas from Dear Walt's Dreamer's Statue! Brilliant! I wonder if they 'bailed' on the giant Fountain of Nations because it needed to be fully refurbished and the 50 million dollar price tag made them say... naw, yeah, naw! Not to mention the $7,987 a day it took to run it!... I, for one, think they pulled a major boner by not keeping it!

It’s funny that you say that about Judi Dench because it was controversial when they changed the narrator from Jeremy Irons to her in the late 2000s. I think Irons was better, but Dench has become beloved as narrator over the years, and her narration is great in its own right.

Disco Diva Scientist😂😂 That makes me wonder if they will a more modern ending on that ride. From what I can tell, the last scene is the late 70s with a garage tinkerer working on a computer from that time. It was supposed to be Steve Jobs I think. They used to have scenes after that, but they were removed and the touch screen interaction with stars was put in.

I feel like they need to do a better job of setting expectations low and then over-delivering, instead of setting them so high that they're bound to disappoint the public.

@josephbrown9685

Yes, but here’s the issue with that. People were conditioned over the decades that Disney was the mark of high quality and they usually delivered on their promises. However, in recent years Disney has become far less reliable in living up to their name, but some people still have that high expectation no matter what Disney does. Those people get overly hyped about a new announcement, then become disappointed at the outcome more often than not. Rinse and repeat. On the other hand, some of us have recognized this is not the same Disney of old, so it’s the opposite. We are pleasantly surprised when Disney overdelivers occasionally. Perhaps this is not great for either group, but Disney has done it to themselves over time.

It is very strange they didn't put some kind of water feature in the middle of the gardens because, I mean, you'd just expect one to be there right? lol And I do agree that the rust color shouldn't be there at all. It should be a combination of futuristic, sleek architecture mixed with beautiful, flourishing nature to show that we really can progress as a species while keeping the environment safe and clean.

“The Wonderful World of Walls” “Leave a Legacy Tombstones” Love it.

Love how the new area looks at night, opened on my Birthday no less! My only complains are the inconsistent use of browns when Epcot has always had more Silver’s and White, and the glaring lack of a water feature in the center of this NATURE themed plaza! Imagine if they added a fountain, and then had Spaceship Earth, the embedded lights, AND the water feature do a show in harmony! Then it’s the best of past and present! Also I will FOREVER be salty about the loss of MouseGear, I will always pick cool and quirky set-pieces over an Apple Store woodgrain aesthetic

It's a testament of how well they were built to begin with. Yes, I know the original Journey Into Imagination was very complex and always breaking down, but that's another story.

What took so long. They took out a fountain and added a water walk through, tore down a building and rebuilt half of it and some gardens and tables. This takes 4-5 years.

To be honest, I think Mission Space is done.

There was nobody in Mission Space’s plaza, minus the people on the side going into the restaurant.

They could’ve easily taken the cranium command attraction and converted it to an inside out show. The animated characters would’ve been timeless so they would not have worried about aging themes or outdated material. Or just convert to play pavilion into a permanent Festival center.

Universal has neglected their og park. The last great ride they added was gringott’s and that was in 2014. They also have too many outdated screen based attractions. I never thought that I would say that I actually prefer Hollywood studios to it. And I grew up a huge universal fan. Also nothing Disney has done is more egregious than replacing the old earthquake ride system with fast and the furious, one of the worst rides ever.

I experienced the new area for the first time last month, and I spent some of my early entry time wandering World Celebration when it was empty. I had no idea where the Walt statue was, and so I was surprised to walk around a corner and stumble upon him. I instantly started crying-seeing him off to the side, surveying everything, made me feel like that’s what it would feel like to catch a glimpse of him at Disneyland. The presentation of Walt the Dreamer is a stark contrast to Partners, and I love how intimate and poignant it is as a result.

There are still a hell of a lot of walls up around Cominicore.

The rusted metal is likely Cor-ten pre-weathered steel, a material used in bridge construction. It's almost weatherproof, with the pre-rusted finish allowing for it to be maintenance free for a long time. Agreed that the surface finish isn't great for touching.

I arrived for a week’s vacation on opening night. I have to tell you, I totally fell in love with World Celebration. It has a peaceful yet vibrant vibe to it. People don’t rush through to get from point a to point b. They slow down and stroll. So many places to sit. I sat at one of the benches in the rust area and had an emotional episode as I’m currently grieving and it was great. No one was around. I hid behind one of the trumpets. The area is wide open and odd but I think they are going to do character greets or private events. Who knows? That area is just a big open space. You and I seem to have the same regard for Epcot and I’m really looking forward to hearing about you experiencing it in person! (Also I loved Luminous and hope you do too! I can recommend Norway for a good view😊)

It is underwhelming.😭 I came a day after it came out and I was like well at least there’s no more walls😭

I LOVE the LED lights fixed to the exterior of Spaceship Earth. The attraction is one of my favorites at Disney World, in any park. So, a "new" Spaceship Earth scares me. Any change to my list of favorites scares me. I live a long way from Florida, so it is expensive just to get there, much less buy park tickets. So, I have this small list of "must do" attractions and when I miss one (it happens), I feel it. Yes, I know, don't tell me, that changes at Walt Disney World are the norm, not the exception. But I have been very lucky. The changes made to my core list of favorites have been minimal, so I feel lucky about that. And grateful.

Contrary to popular belief, the fountain is not actually rusted. Chapek's last form of park management action before Iger stepping back in was to take a massive s**t in the middle of the fountain.

I’m also going in January (15-19), mainly to check out EPCOT and the new Moana thing. I don’t like the new gift shop at all (too much sterile modern mall feel), but I also think the Eatery actually fits in well. I’ve mostly just tried the pizza as well, but at least it’s pretty good pizza!

12:21 I'm almost certain this will become a replacement for the "Festival Hub" that they canceled in the crater.

A spaceship earth renovation is needed, but changing everything about the ride is not. Mainly, some cosmetic updates, maybe a few updated scenes, and I would change the descent portion of the ride, get rid of the interactive screens which are painfully dated

I’m gonna warn you. Epcot used to be my favorite park. Awesome rides, good food & drinks, chill atmosphere, and there’s nothing like world showcase at night. But that’s all gone. Epcot has lost its heart and soul. It’s now just a large Starbucks themed park, with some IP rides (that break frequently). The lightning lane makes the rides impossible to get on, and the crowds are artificially out of hand. I’m not a naysayer nor a “pixie duster”, but the old Disney we loved is gone.

COVID did NOT shut down Disney’s Florida parks for a year. They were closed for about 4 months, and they could have opened sooner. Construction jobs were not stopped in Florida during COVID. And if much of the job at EPCOT involved tearing down & removing old structures, that can be done without worrying about supply chain problems.

I’m not mad at any of the changes that they’ve made, but it just kind of feels underwhelming. The change to spaceship earth exterior wise seems like something that they should’ve done years ago, and everything else that they did just kind of feels like it was mainly cosmetic changes, aside, from maybe the opening of the ratatouille ride. What Epcot really needs is a revitalization of its theme overall in terms of the rides and experiences. A slight refresh on living with the land, new dining experiences, maybe up brand new ride for one of the countries that doesn’t currently have a ride (scrapped Japan thrill ride, my beloved…), and also the desperately needed journey into imagination revamp. A car is the park that makes Walt Disney World really unique and special compared to all other Disney World parks across the planet. yeah, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are cool and whatever, but Epcot is the thing that people want to go and do. i’ve lived in Florida, my entire life, and me, and everybody I know who go to Disney hit up Epcot above all else. It deserves more than lackluster cosmetic changes that took five years to complete stupid, modern looking gift shops, and complete radio silence on fixing up the rides that people actually really want Epcot to fix. Also, I really don’t like the new gift shop. Why does everything need to look like an Apple Store? The merchandise is cool though, I guess. My overall thoughts, I guess, are just that I have mixed reviews. On one hand, there’s no cosmetic change or new attraction that they added that I don’t like. I still haven’t seen the Moana walk-through, but I’ve heard very good things about it and I like the idea, guardians of the galaxy is cool, space 220 is cool (though overpriced as fuck), and ratatouille is really great. But on the other hand, it just kind of feels like a copout, and it feels like the really good ideas that they had, like the Mary Poppins attraction, never really got a chance to happen, and things that really desperately needed Disney’s attention at Epcot are just being ignored. And then there’s the elephant in the room, which is that Disney is now having to compete with Universal, releasing all of these new parks and attractions, like super Nintendo world, and the plans that they have are just really not matching up to that. Their creative output in all aspects lately has just fallen super flat.

“Oh hello welcome to the advertisement” is so fucking funny oh my god

The big thing about the entrance fountain that bothers me is that the beautiful spotlights don't still shine up all the time. When it just opened that's what they were doing but I guess they took it away :(

Hey again, At 12:30 ... pondering...You know, with a giant round planet destroying laser eye on that thing, they could make it a 'berthed' death star-ette they'd have to make the concrete apron surrounding the done to look like big horizontal irising hangar bay doors...You know, to get the buried part of the DS up out of the ground. I suppose it would be another dark roller coaster- Tie fighter racers...ahem. Maybe a wet ride. The dome could be for the queue & load and make it a real planetarium sort of. Exciting anyhow. There is a lot of space behind the dome- especially if they get creative and build over the backstage service road- make it a tunnel. So it could be on the order of the ginormous Guardian's ride shed.

ALEXANDRIA! Love you.

Agree about all the Rust things, get rid of them & put a scaled down fountain in & I’ll be ok with it. Looking forward to seeing how Communicore mixing things up

23:18 I’ll join the sit in

The court yard is gorgeous! The sculpture is not weird because weird, but weird because of the photographer they planted at it.

I wish they would just powewash or paint the monorail tracks. They look kinda sketchy tbh

I thought it was called Walled Disney, not Walt Disney.

I’m a vote for leaving Spaceship Earth alone. Disney has already ruined enough of the classic Epcot attractions.

Not only do they need to keep their paws off Living with The Land, they need to bring the original music back!

i think my biggest nitpick is the "aesthetic" they're trying to go with for new epcot. because its not really epcot. like this nature-y browns and greens vibe is not giving epcot but more like cute modern aesthetic animal kingdom. i wish they would replace all the browns and bronzes with whites. that way epcot still maintains this futuristic tone. kind of like you said, connections cafe feels a lot better than creations and now the gardens. i like the gardens i think they're cool, but we need less of the earthy tones and more futuristic tones.

It reminds me of Tomorrowland 1998 with the browns, rust and "natural" earth tones

You put steel in Florida and try to be near it from day to day

Walled off steel trees to prevent the roasting of Guests

I like most of the results and the park really DID need a refresh, but good lord the glacial pace disney has been moving at for all projects is embarrassing.

It would be great if Disney would bring back a horizon in an updated version Sticking to the theme
