Today, Disney has announced critical decisions regarding EPCOT’s reimagining. Disney has announced that the planned Spaceship Earth refurbishments and the announced Mary Poppins inspired attraction in World Showcase have been officially postponed. Disney has also announced that EPCOT’s new Festival Center in “World Celebration,” that is part of the redesigned neighborhoods of the park are currently being reworked.

Initially, Disney had announced the new pavilion as a massive, three level structure for various events and festivals.

Disney quoted:

This new pavilion will be the perfect place for live events, and the home base for Epcot’s signature festivals. It will provide a stunning elevated view of the entire park and an ideal spot to witness Epcot’s nighttime spectacular. This beautiful three-level structure will have one of the most remarkable architectural designs at any Disney park, featuring a plaza level, a middle expo level, and a park that sits in the sky on the top level.

Walt Disney World has announced that EPCOT’s reimagining work will resume on the new neighborhood of World Celebration, which will bring new dining, retail, and entertainment to the center of the park. However, Disney has now stated that it will be taking a different approach to the previously-announced festival location.

What exactly this “different approach” entails is unknown, but given decreased spending and lowered revenue as the parks begin the first phase of reopening, it may well be that the scale of the project will be downsized. It’s also worth noting that Disney has CUT two significant projects from the EPCOT Experience video that previews upcoming projects for the park- Spaceship Earth: Our Shared Story and Cherry Tree Lane projects.

You can see the video below from The Schmoofs YouTube channel, confirming these details have been removed.
