Crumb! Looks like I may need to push off our 2018 trip to wait for this! We were hoping to catch Avatar and Toy Story before Star Wars crowds came! We can see that at DL.

With the amount of projects that are SUPPOSED TO be coming between 2018 and 2022 to WDW, you'll end up in a never ending loop of trip canceling.

I can't stress "supposed to" enough.

Per rumors summary:

• Energy is getting a GotG overhaul, green lit.
• Wonders might get a GotG phase 2, not yet green lit..
• Communicore (outside of mouse gear and starbucks, possibly club cool) will be updated/overhauled, green lit.
• Mission Space will get a refurb/update, green lit.
• There are plans for Imagination, but not green lit.
• Land will remain as is
• Seas will remain as is
• Test Track will remain as is
• Space Ship Earth will remain as is

I hope they don't ever find a way to allow my multi day passes bought before the recent price increase to expire!!

I would really lower your potential M:S hopes. There's very little chance that update ends up as any more than a general maintenance refurb and, best case scenario, updated screen tech.

On the other hand, WoL getting knocked over is much much closer to a green light than a red light.

Obviously one of the smaller things on the list but kinda glad the cemetery pylons will be removed/moved ... just didn't like the look as approaching the entrance, didn't seem very welcoming

Wonders? What is the full name of that attraction?

And I am mostly okay with these plans.

Wonders of Life pavilion

Wonders of Life pavilion

Okay, thanks. On my map from last year, I think it's listed as "Festival Center".

 

[Phicinfan]

And I am mostly okay with these plans.

Honestly, the only disappointment for me is Imagination. it desperately needs redone.

Yes they hold seminars in there during the festivals.

I am okay that its not getting updated yet. I don't want it to get a shoed in IP. I want them to keep Figment and hopefully bring back dream finder.

I agree, but am willing to bet large $$$ we eventually see inside out there......

I'd be ok with Inside Out being added as an additional attraction or taking over the theater or something - but hopefully not instead of Figment

Are there any attractions that if replaced, there would be a legitimate uproar?

Spaceship Earth comes to mind Imagination is now a close second. I understand both have had various updates (some more drastic than others) but I'm talking "we're removing Figment from the park entirely" or "Spaceship Earth is being gutted and retrofitted as a Good Dinosaur ride" type of changes.

I don't see how you overlay Figment with Inside Out since he wasn't in the movie. Inside Out seems to be better suited for a complete overhaul of Wonders of Life.

Wonders of Life could definitely work - heck the attraction Cranium Command was basically Inside Out before there was an Inside Out

The director of Inside Out worked on the Cranium Command pre show.

 

[Phicinfan]

interesting, wonder if that could be part of phase two that has not been greenlighted yet? Would allow them to move quickly on newer IP, and rumors are Imagnation is staying as is for the forseeable future
