[Cynister]

Okay - fall out from this weekend...

Martin says Micky ride still on to replace GMR, but announcement will not be made any time soon.
Per Chapek - ToT is safe, unless you are a spirit fan, then it will still go GotG.
Epcot to see major changes to the park, in the next 5-8 years.
*Graveyard (LAL) removed
*Total aesthetic re-do and replacement for Innoventions, MouseGear etc.
*Something (probably Marvel- related) in UoE Spot
*WoL getting something - maybe, medium term
*Mission Space- staying the same - not quite
*Test Track- staying the same
*The Seas-Staying the same - maybe not quite
*The Land-Staying the same - refresh and changes
*Imagination-Staying the same (For now) - for now
*World Showcase- Expect more IP-based Attractions.

What is LAL?

Leave a Legacy in the front of Epcot. The giant grave stone type things.

 

[Lee Matthews]

Yep, get rid of LAL. It's unsightly

Thanks! Any rumor on what would go in that area once they're gone?

Maybe a planter with some flowers or something. They want to open the area up again instead of having congestion.

Nothing, I hope. Put it back the way it was originally.

 

[DisFanDad]

So much for leaving your legacy though ...am I right ?

This may be a dumb (or not allowed) question, but what is "spirit's" username on wdwmagic? I was trying to look for some conversation over there on the rumors (specifically GOTG) but don't know where to start.

WDW1974 just to fore worn you his threads are very long and many people go very off topic in them.

Rumor - just stated at MDWMagic that Three Cabaleros is looking at a redo, potentially it could be Coco, but not confirmed yet.

This isn't new both Martin and Jim Hill talked about the possibility months ago.

I know I'm super late for this joke, but...

Cabana's, of course!

Yep, like rteetz said, heard about this a few months ago. This is one that at least makes sense.

Yeah, I thought so as well, but it seems a bit more solid now, even Martin and Magicfeather seem to give it more credence. I would love to hear soon, how this and other rumors tie into the revamp of EPCOT that is sneaking around for now.

I've been offline a while, but #12 seems crazy. Tomorrowland is firmly established at MK. Discoveryland doesn't sound much different from Adventureland. I doubt this one comes to pass.

 

[JARNJ3]

Agreed - this would be blasphemy

They should change Future World to Discoveryland probably.

 

[Spacedog1975]

They should change Future World to Discoveryland probably.

I could buy into this. Clearly they struggle with having this part of Epcot reflect any sort of "Future", especially a realistic one. Discovery Land, Discovery World, either might be a better name.

Per Martin and Serpico, GoTG - still going to UoE in Epcot, not a flying coaster.

DAK dinosaur area my see a makeover prior to 50th.

Tot in WDW will be kept as is


This is per info they have now, Serpico contact said he is supposed to get an update near end of year.

Rumor:
Per MagicFeather WDWMagic - Ride replacing Stitch will happen by 50th, but what that will be is still not locked.
Also, any additions to Frotierland are on hold, as they instead are focused on sprucing up for 50th - i.e. Tom. Land sprucing and such.
Also per MF - there is a long line of project proposals for TL, but not all are for the 50th, some will only start post the 50th.

So they are committing to having something in Stitch's spot in there in 5 years?

That sounds about right.
