D23 Expo 2019 (First page with major info)

Yes, I did somehow overlook Moana. Oops!

Of course the mix of old and new doesn't guarantee that everything there will be staying. Maybe we'll finally hear what Epcot's overall theme will be too. Should be interesting...

We should as noted in the tweet above it says Epcot will become four neighborhoods.

I'll need more details before it makes sense to me.

 

[Along For The Ride]

I am excited for Ratatouille ride , The new Spaceship restaurant , The new Guardians roller Coaster, and now the Moana attraction.
Still hoping for the imagination pavilion to be given some love.

I want for nothing actually. I would have liked a refresh and for something useful to be done with innoventions. But I'm just having a hard time letting go I guess. I'm going to miss it. The fountain, the music loop walking in, the fiber optic in the walkways at night. Just feels like I personally am giving up a lot of memories for not a whole lot. I'll get over it in time I'm sure

Trying to look at it from a new guest perspective, I get it. Future World probably can feel a little blah. But I’m with you, one of my favourite areas/feels in all of WDW. I’m weirded out by how much change is coming to Future World, to be honest.

I’m wondering if these four neighbors will essentially be World Showcase + splitting up Future World into three newly named sectors for east/west/spine (entrance)

Most likely

The Odyssey Pavillion appears to be Blue Sky at WDW. Let’s see if they manage to use it more for its purpose then DL does...

Look at the upper right corner of the UK pavilion poster. Am I correct that we see a lady flying with her umbrella?

Most likely

Basically expanding Epcot (along with modernization) to make it much larger instead of adding a 5th gate? For now? Adding “lands” or whatnot?

It seems like they own the land mass to do it. Along with clearing out underused spaces.

Talk to me like I’m a 2 year old. I’m not up on this like you experts.

Okay so something interesting to note. It appears in the preview stuff that Innoventions West is the one getting the demolition. But on the WDW page has Innoventions East list as closing. And I know West is technically closed outside of the character M&Gs but I feel like this is two very different set of info?

No just changing names of areas. Not expansion.

East is getting remodeled which is why stuff is closing. West is getting demolished.

West is closing and being demolished. East will have much of it also close while it gets a total remodel.

Thanks for the clarification

The fountain may be going, but there’s no reason right now to think the music loop or walkways will be going too. No need to be so pessimistic - at least until Disney confirms it all.

Look closely at the posters...

A new land is being added

 

[Tink1987]

Not sure what people expected from the big announcement. Disney just put the word secret WDC project. Didn’t hint it was parks or movies. And it was on a small stage. It was DisTwitter that whipped up the frenzy. Nothing to be disappointed about!

Also unsure why we keep expecting a response to rival Universals announcement. We’ve just had SWGE debut at DL and very nearly at WDW. Universals announcement was in reaction to that.

Also getting a billion? or many million dollar refurbishment at Epcot.

 

[Tink1987]

I’ve spent the last hour drooling over the artwork on those gorgeous posters.

Realised (unless I’m missing something) that only the UK poster has 2 characters on, White Rabbit and Mary Poppins. All the other pavilion posters only have country specific things on them. Could be an attraction at the UK pavilion? Is there room back there?

Being from the UK, If they’ve used characters on the UK poster because they couldn’t think of anything else, I will be very annoyed!

Odd i havent seen anyone talking about the new themed land that was mentioned in one of the videos as they show Zootopia
