Epcot needs this. And needs it now. How about where that planter is…? They need to replace that light strip in the ground anyway, so…perfect timing! -

eh…. That was kind of my point. They didn’t even try with nice landscaping. It is literally the bare minimum. Downtown Disney in California has more impressive planters.

At least the greenery in the planter looks nice.

Flooring? That was THEZach’s thing!!! I heard there may have been some Instagram posts about it a while back or something… 🫣

This is giving abandoned mall vibes… i guess it goes with all the closed festival booths? Is that a story!? Haha. *I actually had a wonderful day at Epcot - I’m just poking fun and missing the wonderful fountain of nations

Much of the new concrete and flooring all around was very poorly done.

I wish I had snapped some pics and didn't, but the black rubber lining between the tiles/concrete along connections and creations etc is all coming undone, I literally could have pulled it all up and out. What a shotty job all around.

If anyone is around in Epcot, La Calle, Southbound, the M 80's and Audio Exchange have all been added into the Eat to the Beat Festival dates for entertainment. Check out WDWMagic's link for the dates for each band: https://www.wdwmagic.com/events/international-food-and-wine-festival/news/03jul2025-updated-2025-epcot-concert-lineup-eat-to-the-beat-adds-more-weekday-acts.htm Im sure there are a few other local acts that were added as well, but I dont know them personally. I have seen all of these acts myself and enjoyed them very much. Marie

I wish we knew who these people were and what has happened to them. Are they all actors? Truly random people (doubt it)? What became of the young child? How old did the old woman live to be?

It was a programmatic, operational and experimental nightmare. But Iger wanted something to make the park look different designed by a starchitect like Mike had done.

The festival center in the concept art looked pretty but in actuality it would have obstructed views except those with corporate expense accounts and would have created traffic in that area.

That’s what she said?

If it’s Andrew Wilson we might as well all turn in whatever’s left of our Disney Fan Cards. It will be an end no one here that doesn’t follow news about Electronic Arts can imagine.

“They” would be DS+R… Even in concept design Disney requires at least a narrative report from a structural engineer. Concrete can be used to achieve slender structures. Post-tensioning in particular allows for thinner slabs.
