Circle of Life show scheduled for 2020 now apparently. Will use IP. Described as a modern take on Circle of Life. What they SHOULD do is use DisneyNature to create a 15 minute film for the space. What they probably will do is throw Zootopia in there or something.

Also, Martin posted a slightly vague, but discernible track layout for the GotG ride, but he stated he wants it to be WDWM exclusive and doesn't like people stealing his work, so i'll respect his wishes and not repost.

I'll admit there seems to be a lot going on with Epcot rumor-wise and i'm not sure how much of it will all happen, but here's another rumor (from Magic) which I found to be quite a bit of a shock tbh. @Marni1971 is saying the current plan for Wonders of Life is to have it re-open alongside GotG with something new inside. Here's what he said when pressed on it:

You’d think they would try to get it open for the inevitable GotG rush

Thank you

To be ready for GotG (it’s nowhere near as involved as the project next door) and get well soon!

I'll be surprised if it's anything more than retail and dining space.

Everything is pointing towards this being attraction space once again. WDI has been in the building lately finally taking out the Cranium Command remains. Supposedly upper management has come to a realization that the space is can be better utilized than just a festival pavilion or events space.

I hope so. There's something very sad about being in there during Food and Wine.

I hope so as well, but i'll believe it when I see it with this. I don't want to set expectations too high... knowing Disney, it's probably more like that @belloq87 was right on the money saying retail and dining and they just use it for a giant GotG store and a character meal.

I imagine that the GOTG Awesome Mix Live show or something similar will get a permanent theater also inside the WOL pavilion.

It really will be a shame if Disney does something like that with the Wonders Pavilion, given they have Doctor Strange to work with if they wanted to create a mini-superhero area. Or they could throw Big Hero 6 (Health) and Inside Out (Mind) in there and keep the original theme of Wonders alive in a way.

Bring back Body Wars with Doctor Strange as the surgeon and Ant Man shrinking down with you.

Ant-Man is a no go for Disney in WDW.

Also, it's not as simple as just "bringing back" Body Wars. The simulator bays pretty much are gone. Most of the parts were used for Star Tours and the Bays were removed.

I jest. Hopefully they do something meaningful. The space is there if needed.

So, just going back through the thread and looking back at the blue sky image and I like how they are putting more greenscapes into the concept. Before, the scheme of "futuristic" was all steel and glass and swooping architecture. Look at where architecture is going now, focused on energy efficiency and bringing "life" to buildings with plants, trees and water features that have more that just a "oh, that's pretty" purpose. I would love to see them highlight this new wave of architecture.

I love the design and can’t wait till they start implementing it (hopefully) into Future World which sorely needs it.

While the concept art is pleasing, it is uber vague what they have planned. And if this is supposed to be completed by 2021 when are they starting?

It's intentionally vague because when they put it out they weren't sure what they were going to do.

Won't be completed by 2021. I'm hearing 2023 at earliest.

And that what we are hearing about Wonders coming back into guest use being about is to compensate for the loss of the Innoventions buildings. Unfortunately.

Here's a look at the progress on the new restaurant in Japan:

Seems pretty strange that Disney would want the heart of the park to be a construction zone during the resort's 50th anniversary and Epcot's 40th anniversary.

Bulldoze everything, create new pathways, irrigation, lighting, fertilizing, plant gardens, voila!

I'm sure it would take time (if that plan is still happening). I just would have thought they'd want Epcot in as pristine condition as possible for that park's anniversary.
