Fixing the lights in the ground and in the greenery would really help a lot, especially with the new communiCore hall. When things show up broken, it creates a lack of care to the space. You automatically get drawn to that, rather than the other aspects you should be drawn to. I'd rather the lights in the ground be off and the ones in the greenery removed, cause then your not noticing the negative. Just like the lights at Grand Flo, main street, beach, Yacht and boardwalk, they are very important to keep up cause it creates a sense of cleanliness, care and of having a good working operating system going.

Like in all companies, you are allowed to think things in your mind but must never voice an opinion that goes against the corporate hive mind.

Of course! Absolutely, it's all under construction 🏗 as of right now* That's just pun for the moment because no other theme park there in Orlando has what the previous concept art offers for now* so it's the only time your able to ever publicize as successful.

"It's a shame because these looked SO exciting to just* run around "

Internally, they must know? Right?

Agreed! At the very minimum, we should have gotten a fountain but instead we got that ugly planter and broken lights in the cement. What an absolute failure!! To make it worse, TWDC calls what was done in EPCOT a "success" so we are stuck with it for a couple of decades a least.

Honestly, just give us what was originally promised and it'd be perfect If we had gotten these instead of the budget-cut version, it'd be practically perfect and everyone wouldn't be complaining

I think there are lots of ways to make it a more fun environment YES! a moving waterway through the space... A large central show fountain, a series of beautifully designed water features...A poorly designed Flex Space building, dry and oddly styled rust gardens and a complete lack of any sort of kinetics is definitely how you don't do it...it currently looks completely joyless.

All good points. And I haven't seen T@SD in person so you'd know better than me. I do think it can be a challenge to pull off whimsy with futuristic. Maybe through the use of kinetics? A stream running through the space with fountains, rocks, etc.? Futuristic windmills? Robots tending to the grass, watering flowers, feeding fish in the pond?

Idk I just thought it was pretty. Granted last time I was at epcot I was 7, but at least from the monorail and from photos, it looks fine to me. Just, for the love of god, get us some sort of water feature

It’s sad to see people who represent themselves as “Disney fans” rationalize and support terrible and lazy design. If the parks, especially Epcot, were designed with these pathetically low standards 40 years ago there wouldn’t even be a Disney fan community today. Truly pathetic and embarrassing. (And yes, I used “pathetic” twice intentionally)

I haven't been able to see it in person as of yet. I think I wouldn't mind it if it was silver. The whole rusty brown there with Spaceship Earth isn't my cup of tea especially when you have modern Connection's/Creation's next door.

I have....it's not great and the lack of a large fountain or any kind of water is glaring... It is worse than before because with the "Miscellaneous Garden Areas" it feels even more ponderous and pointless... There is no focus to this area... it feels like "People said they wanted trees and some seats, so here!" it feels like Knee-jerk Gardens.... It does not feel like Disney....that is for sure...

I haven't been there to see it personally, but I like this. I like most of it except for the glaring lack of a fountain. I'm not very fond of the football field area with the awnings though.
