I don't want Dreamfinder and Figment to be another Meet & Greet... that would be even sadder than it is, and with nothing to even explain who Dreamfinder is... The original intent of the ride, to introduce us to these characters, needs to be restored and the Imagination Institute needs to go away....Once the big ride is fixed, then perhaps a meet and greet along with a more engaging Imagination based show and maybe another attraction or two....

A beautiful, wonderful dream that will sadly never happen. Its simply to good, too logical, too guest centric to ever happen in today’s Disney company.

Think bigger. What if they put the tower in the middle of the lagoon? That's major wasted real estate.

They can just say that they’re adding things back from the original plans since we’re past the era of navigating pandemic cuts. They’re not going to bow deeply in shame, nor do we need them to do so.

More likely to announce a mariottt style tower DVC to replace American Gardens Theatre on the world showcase lagoon. That’s “wasted space!”

What Josh should do is apologize for the way the Epcot garden area turned out. Then, he should announce the return of a fountain. Then, with an inevitable refurb of Imagination on the horizon, he should bring The Dreamfinder onstage to announce a M&G with him and Figment along with the return of the rainbow tunnel.

It would be nice but whoever thought it should have been removed in the first place should have been fired. Same with tearing down Communicore West.

laughable to say this but it would be nice if they announced a fountain returning at Destination D.

Not unless that EA CEO takes over. Box, Sphere, Pyramid

And building a giant box for a roller coaster is not exactly following EPCOT's design intent either

Because it would have happened decades ago and been covered in a few layers of repainting. I’d be more concerned about cracks in the older areas because it would indicate something new happening.

Why has it not happened to the older parts of the building?

Stucco is a cement-based material and cracks, just like concrete. It’s not necessarily anything to be concerned about. If it was bubble off the sub straight then that would be a bigger concern. It would probably be more concerning on the older areas, as those areas long ago would have been patched and repainted.
