oh Fine I guess that's reasonable. I just really want Epcot updates fast!

Me too! And I really want to visit WDW before the craziness of Stars Wars, and I would like this to be open for our trip!

Don't forget Spain...oh, and Russia...(or I at that time it was the USSR)...and others that I forget now...

Spain (alongside Brazil) supposedly is on the table for this upcoming Epcot spruce. Greece or Egypt are still my preferred choices though.

I got the same ones last August, surprised they are still under construction.

EDIT: I was referring to the construction pins, I don't understand why the quote did not go through.

They will supposedly be pretty much done in July.

The other likely possibility is the gondola, according to the maps people have come up with based on the permits, will pass close to the backside of France. I'm assuming Disney wants to finish the gondola construction, in that area, before beginning on Ratatouille. So it could be an order of operations delay. Or work could be scheduled to coincide where practical, so that construction equipment is back there all at once. But with 2 projects in the same area, timing comes in to play one way or another.

If projections place the gondolas behind France, I can imagine that the World Gateway entrance would need to be significantly beefed up. I also read that the gondolas would most likely include a stop at Pop Century which might explain the updates in progress at that resort.

It's coming along with Fire Mountain, Dick Tracy Crime Stoppers, Switzerland pavilion, Equatorial Africa, the Persian Resort, and a new monorail system.

I hear reputable insiders (cast members who still live with mom)...are hearing that Brazil is a "definite go"
