Wait... were you actually spending significant time on club cool, fountain, and the few other things closing? This won’t change a single thing about how we spend time in Epcot.

No - that's true we would spend nearly zero time there - but we have noticed we have a been spending little time in Future World anyways - we spend all our time in world showcase. Really we generally do SSE, TT, Soarin' and LwtL. If they close SSE that takes us down to three. But we still tend to spend two days there because of WS. Not sure I would even do that until we start getting some more stuff opening up. (Unless it's F&W, then we spend ALL our time there.)

Yeah. I'm surprised it is happening this late, but I really don't follow movie news at all.

Well unlike TLJ, at least somebody must have watched this one before its released. Count me encouraged.

Fountain Of Nations that they added water to from Twenty-five bodies of water representing 29 nations were poured into the fountain, etc. - so to me that element of Epcot is gone forever and will be missed by me

That water is still in there. Maybe they could transfer some to the new fountain out front, Showcase Lagoon and Epcot Seas.

These are scheduled reshoots the same ones that TLJ had. The same people that watched TLJ are the ones watching Rise of the Skywalker. So I don’t know if we should be encouraged or not. All 3 of the films had shoots rescheduled. Force awakens were hidden a little due to Harrison Ford’s leg breaking, shooting got pushed so far back that the reshoots came right after end of principal photography.

You’re welcome, no good deed goes unpunished.

Am I the only one wondering how they are going to tear down part of the innoventions building if there is a spotlight used in illuminations on top of it?

Well, they don't need that spotlight anymore after the end of this month.

First of all, how dare you!

Second of all ... It's true, all of it

 

[BaymaxFan78]

I think they might. If epcot forever doesn't have the spotlights I will riot

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Looks like some Epcot Forever testing is going on

 

[Sweettears]

That water is still in there. Maybe they could transfer some to the new fountain out front, Showcase Lagoon and Epcot Seas.

I get the notion of that. However I’m certain that all of the original water has long ago evaporated. I’m with Max on the nostalgic aspect of the attraction.

Also super sad, although glad there will be some Muppets on Disney+.

The article makes it sound like the new Muppets Studios exec might eventually pursue his own idea.
