New "Race Against the Sun" Exhibit Now Open in the Morocco Pavilion at Epcot

I'm always in favor of a culturally-appropriate addition/revamp in World Showcase's exhibition spaces.

I’m trying to figure out what the work by guest relations could be about? Maybe a path way to Guardians?

 

[Andysol]

Epcot will be a mess for a few years...But I'm excited to see what it looks like on the other end

We think JP is a nightmare. Woof... this is gonna be horrific. Means to an end... means to an end.

We're doing Disney APs again Dec 2020-Dec 2021, so I'll get to be in the thick of it.

I like fun little diversions like this...This is what made Epcot special in the first place

In that case, say goodbye to all of Epcot's trees! Their days are numbered.

What trees?

And if I remember correctly I think we are going to be getting trees because of the refurb.

I meant it as a joke, of course we're getting more trees! It was more a gag at Jurassic Park's expense over Epcot. You can never explain a joke well, from what I've learned, so just compare today's JP to when it opened as part of IOA and you'll get the idea.

It's coming down...

It's progressing faster than I anticipated.

So, is it true that the multi level festival center has been pushed back to "Phase two?"

It's a Twitter rumor. The guy who started it is better at reading the room of the parks division than actually knowing things about individual projects.

 

[belloq87]

I thought it already was a de facto Phase 2, with Ratatouille and Guardians being Phase 1.

Media thing going on at Epcot:


New Starbucks to open December 20th along the Rose Walk between Imagination and World Showcase:

Per Robert Niles, Disney screened the new BATB sing-a-long for selected press...

First look at Epcot's 'Beauty and the Beast Sing Along'

At least it appears Disney actually made an effort to make this more than simply a glorified Blu-ray bonus feature, but I have no plans to ever watch it.

 

[Nick]

I'll probably do it at some point simply because I like to do everything at least once, but i'm no Frozen sing-a-long fan, so i'm not expecting much out of this.

I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention the most baffling addition/change of this show, because it's a legit "What are you smoking?!" kind of moment.

Spoiler

They're putting in new animation to make LeFou the HERO/MATCHMAKER of the story. The sidekick to the villain is now a really big hero for doing all the things to get Belle and Beast together because...Reasons that I cannot comprehended since this is such a out of nowhere idea.
