The festivals were originally to draw - particularly locals - in off peak times But they’ve become wholly dependent on them…as they lament retrofitting the park for what?…going on 30 years now?

I do wonder how much of the center area was removed of the WoL pavilion after they started working on the Play pavilion considering for several years they were used for other festivals.

The Play Pavilion itself is cancelled, which is for the best -- additional capacity is usually a good thing, but not when it's going to be incredibly underutilized capacity. Then it just becomes a waste of money and space, and there was very little reason to believe the Play Pavilion would have been helpful at all after a few years of operation. It would have been wildly outdated quickly. There's no indication that they have any plans to do anything else with the former Wonders of Life right now, though, which is bad.

Having a place that sells the best festival food all year round kinda makes having the festivals in the first place redundant. The festivals exist, usually in the slower months, to draw more people in. But if you can now get the exclusive treats all year round then there's no point even having the festival. Also as mentioned already, Odyssey would have been the best place for this. Any news on Play pavilion? Irks me that this huge piece of real estate, a long with Magic Kingdom's Stitch ride building are just sitting abandoned. WDW is the most visited theme park resort in the World, if I was Disney I'd want to use that as the opportunity to showcase the best of everything yet Disney has long since become complacent and letting the place rot and having abandoned buildings that could easily be utilised is inexcusable.

You must be new here… If they aren’t complaining, its a rarity.

Two new rides and a cessation of a Food Festival during the Summer. If that's evolution, they're doing it wrong.

It’s less of a complete park today than it was in 1998… Our standards need re-evaluated.

nah its still a great theme park, but with more food options...thats not a bad thing imo. Epcot always felt like the adult park where they focused on eating drinking and ambience more than rides and thrills. But they added a few great rides over the last years so its gotten a bit better in that regard as well
