Missed this last week... pretty surprised it's actually a thing considering they don't want to open HoP:
I think it can be both. I believe that they're waiting for a recording, but I also don't think that Disney is pushing too hard for a recording to be made, either.I don't think it's so much a matter that they don't want to open HoP, just that they're still waiting for the president to record his speech. That's my take on it anyway. Everyone thinks Disney is holding out on purpose, but from the quotes Disney has made on the subject, seems like they're waiting on him.
Personally, I'd just create a cut-and-paste speech using Routers or Associated Press recordings, but that's not the way they've done it in the past, and they probably don't want to upset anyone by not giving him the chance to record his own for the attraction.
It opened in 1986, but the exterior design didn't change much from the 1982 concept. The change was mostly inside from a ride-through to exhibits. I would imagine future attractions would have been mentioned as well as current ones. (Now, the argument that it was "a city" on the other hand...)What the frack is a Seas image doing on that thing...?
Seas didn't open for several years and I'm pretty sure the final concept wasnt decided on until after Epcot opened.
The UK Pavillon is meant to be getting a B/C Type attraction, the folks over at wdwmagic say it will be based on “Brave”, anyone here got any more info?
They did the same thing with A Pirate’s Adventure in MK.Remember when FP+ was being deployed and they installed touch points at the entry area of the Pooh meet/greet in the UK?
And never used them?
Oh, those were the days...
Good, now Disney can invest more in ShanghaiRandom note from today:
Epcot 35 merch is still selling well. Between the higher than usual festival attendance, festival spending, affinity for Figment festival related merch, and the Epcot 35 merch, Epcot is making a lot of money right now.
Looks like the Margarita stand might actually be opening... TOMORROW! (Finally.)
