The new Bellagio Pavilion

The new Bellagio Pavilion

Actually exactly what they were thinking here.

Makes up for losing the fountain.

Did they mention music? Bellagio's fountain show is pretty breathtaking, tbh.

As much as losing the fountain of nations is a bummer, I think what they’re going to be able do do here, and the ability to see it from various areas around the park will help people get over the loss of FoN

No but it’s expected to have a background loop of sorts.

Over at universal they use this same approach, during the day the sprayers go off to different movie soundtracks. Maybe they'll use selections from Harmonious

Now COULD we see (I haven’t watched the D23 panel so they may have answered this) this come before we get Harmonius? It’s not a nighttime spectacular, but something vibrant and energetic like a fountain “show” during the day could bring energy to the park

Maybe. They barges will obviously be installed out there prior to the show debuting.

At the very least it could be good to be able to collect data of what areas people gravitate to and alleviate clusters of people so that when they do start Harmonius they’re at least a little prepared of what to expect. Obviously it might be different once the pyro is implemented in terms of where guests go for the best vantage points, and it might be different than EF and Illuminations. So to be able to see these things play out during the day might help them down the line

Curiously omitted to yesterday's panel was Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana and Play Pavilion.

I thought we'd get something on those...

I’m assuming they were not talked about yesterday, omitted? I didn’t watch as I didn’t expect much to come from that. But my thinking is the construction of those is most likely slowed down drastically. They most likely want to get the Harmonious barges done and get the basic spine opened to make walking easier. Those secondary attractions will probably be 2022 or 23 at this point.

They likely also touched on Harmonious because people will start seeing work in the lagoon soon. I am sort of surprised they didn’t touch at all on the spine. You have a giant dirt field in the middle of the park.

Yeah meant omitted, fixed my post thanks.

JoW is a spine project so I'm thinking that will have priority...

I think the order we get those things:

• Remy's
• Harmonious
• Space 220
• SE Earth Lighting

Maybe they are holding out back info for PP and JoW completion for the WDW 50th news. They haven't announced a timeline yet.

I'd be curious if the Epcot Experience is still the same today...
