Epcot 2.0 - billions of dollars injected in park

[sha9]

Even a few of these things would make a huge difference to Epcot but I hope they don't change Spaceship Earth too much. A GotG whole land sounds fabulous though!

How exciting! I do like epcot but it definitely needs an update.

I do think Epcot needs a bit of love and I do expect that to be one of the big announcements.

Will be great if even some of this is true, it's about time for Epcot to get an update.

Obviously not all of these will happen... But it sounds like Epcot will be finally receiving some love! What do you guys think?

We know that something is happening to the Universe of Energy building and behind it. Disney has filed construction plans regarding this. But the rest are all rumours - and some are very much wishful thinking. For all we know, only 1 or 2 of the above may happen.

And I swear I started the whole 'Inside Out retheming of the Imagination pavilion' rumour back before the movie was even out. It was a no-brainer back then, but it seems a bit late to be changing it now.

Well your rumour was picked up by lots of people hopefully you started the whole thing (charge Disney!)

D23 will confirm/deny most of these next month, can't wait!
