Not sure where to post this, but I'm starting to wonder about the old Wonders of Life pavilion.
Last month they were painting the roof, which, is uncharacteristic of Disney to do, but maybe it needed weather sealing anyway.
Today there's this:
And I've noticed there has been absolutely no mention of the Festival Center for this year's Flower & Garden, which starts next week. No mention on where seminars will be held. No mention of Disney Horticulture exhibit, which is usually in there. No mention on where to find festival merchandise. And there will not be a topiary in front of it according to the official list this year. Plus, usually the dates and times that the center will be open are posted. Nothing.
Sooo, is this where the new space restaurant will go? Rumors were it would go on the right side of Mission: Space. I've heard a rumor that Test Track's cars passing by was too loud, not sure on validity of that. But also, maybe they wanted more space... I mean, this does look like a big orange Mars base station from the outside, and it would put the space restaurant between two space based attractions.
Or, are they eyeing this for a new attraction?
Or, is the building in such bad shape they're bringing in a bunch of folks to help fix it up?
Or is nothing happening and Festival Center will open next week no problem?
Something fishy is going on.
Supposedly WoL will be demolished whenever they decide to use that plot and they likely aren't going to make that decision until GotG opens. Whatever goes there would likely be an expansion of the GotG area though (or Marvel, so Doctor Strange or something else Disney can use).
As far as I know, this is just a general refurbishment of the roof, as it was looking rough and was leaking. Companies aren't going to continue to spend money to hot their private events their if the place is falling apart, and I think that is more what this is for. Disney probably finally realized, even against their will, they have to do upkeep on the building if they want to rent it out as a private events center.
