Replacing the Germany train set.It's suppose to be by the african outpost right? Wonder if the Illuminations replacement was priority for time and logistically for space.?
I guess that make sense.Replacing the Germany train set.
Looks like Poppins maybe got some movement as well.
Hmmm. Wonder just what that means. IIRC, its a fairly standard omni-mover system right now.He also mentioned the ride system is being looked at.
Strange to me how Disney was procrastinating with Epcot and seemingly putting things off and now all of the sudden many of the major rumors have life again. Never dull with Disney!Martin has suggested that Spaceship Earth will be going down sooner than originally discussed.
“If you like the Phoenicians get a ride in this year.”
Saying that it shouldn’t be down before September, possibly down before the end of the year, and will be down for a while. Refurbishment larger than the the previous few, so major work to be done.

They must’ve been waiting for something and it’s happened. Perhaps the Fox deal closing? It’s great to hear some movement, Epcot really needs it. Of course we’ve also heard movement before then it all got delayed.Strange to me how Disney was procrastinating with Epcot and seemingly putting things off and now all of the sudden many of the major rumors have life again. Never dull with Disney!

Sounds like that would be the timeframe and then having the other stuff ready for Epcot’s 40th.Wonder if they decided they want it don for the official 50th of WDW on Oct 1 2021 ... this would give them close to 2 years
Well Martin just said it will probably be closed for the 50th if this happens. And 2 years is an optimistic time frame.Wonder if they decided they want it don for the official 50th of WDW on Oct 1 2021 ... this would give them close to 2 years

He’s saying it’ll be a much more significant refurb than the 2007 or 1993 ones.oh wow, ok, I thought 2 years was if the reno was on the longer side ... so this would be even more substantive
Which is really surprising to me. Sounds like it would be some major changes.He’s saying it’ll be a much more significant refurb than the 2007 or 1993 ones.
My concern is the fact he clearly states, if you like the Phoenicians, go this year - so it definitely sounds like a major revamp of content not just ride type. I hope beyond hope this won't be a major IP changeWhich is really surprising to me. Sounds like it would be some major changes.
I don’t even know what IP you would tie into this attraction unless you get rid of the communication theme altogether.My concern is the fact he clearly states, if you like the Phoenicians, go this year - so it definitely sounds like a major revamp of content not just ride type.
