Wonder how long it will take.

Mine was already loaded for 5/18. The odd thing though is I picked that day because I already had a park pass for that day. So, now I have two for Epcot on 5/18.

Ugh, I don't have it for 5/20 and I was one that never got the confirmation email either. I didn't print and screen shot the confirmation from when I booked.

Holy cow, I didn't know there was still plexiglass up anywhere!

Do any other locations still have it? I was really looking forward to a trip this summer without feeling like I was in a cattle chute. The Gran Fiesta/Three Caballeros ride at Epcot was the worst one!

When we were there in mid March it was still up at quite a few places. Gran fiesta it was up. parts of slinky dog had it. I seem to remember towards where you merged with the LL splash had it but not positive on that one. Tower or terror had it in the building. Star tours, rise, and seven dwarfs had it. There may have been others but that’s all I remember.

Honestly I kind of liked it. Yeah it made it feel a little tight but you also weren’t face to face with people as much. And not just because of covid but just right in others space as you are facing each other.

So far I'm a tad bit bummed that there didn't seem to be any May 4th video game info drops ... I was hoping for something on the Fallen Order sequel or maybe something on the 'Knights of the Old Republic' remake.

Guess we're waiting til Star Wars Celebration for any news along with 'Tales of the Jedi' series info

I’m kind of surprised as well. I was really hoping for another game to buy that I can start and not finish

So basically the fountain stage that was there sans the fountain???? Or is the plan to move the headliners there from American Gardens which would cause a major choke point

It looks like it'll be where Club Cool used to be, and there seems to be some kind of building located behind it???

More concept are on this Twitter thread, here is an overview of the overall World Celebration neighbourhood:
