    Communicore Hall is exactly what Disney told us it would be, a blank canvas that can be used for festivals, exhibitions, etc. Just like the structure between Canada and the UK or any resort ballroom or convention center. It could be used for food booths. Or tasting seminars. Or anything at all. Like the multilevel platform structure’s proposed use, just smaller.

    Movies at Imagination were Captain EO and Honey I Shrunk the Audience.
    That planned 3-story building with a park-like area to view fireworks sounded very different. I know 2020 happened, but I don’t see this new Communicore brings anything noteworthy. Blank walls and plain floors. Not a fan. Hopefully someday I’ll enjoy events that are held in Communicore. I do LOVE the music playing! Good we still have a great soundtrack.

    • @TravelingAroundDisney
      @TravelingAroundDisney  Před měsícem +3

      Karen I agree the tower would have been fantastic. Hopefully over time more will be added to communicore hall and it’s blank walls. I do think with festivals it will add so much more to this area. Thanks for traveling along and we hope you have a wonderful week.

    I think Communicore Hall looks amazing, especially at night and I've only seen videos of it. My only wish with Epcot is that they would refurb Figment and bring it closer to the OG with Dreamfinder. That's one of the few rides I remember from my childhood trip and now we next to never go on unless our kids are begging for a ride after visiting a bunch of festival booths. Oh and bring back the rainbow hallway! Such a missed opportunity given how big that would be for an ideal Instagram shot!

    • @TravelingAroundDisney
      @TravelingAroundDisney  Před 29 dny +1

      Lindsey I just love that whole area. I think over time it we’ll become a wonderful edition during festivals. A refurb of Figment would be fantastic one day. You never know with the refurb of the DVC lounge what will happen with that space. Thank you so much for traveling along and we hope you have a fantastic week

    New and different is fine. New, and unimaginative, not so much. Disney has always been about imagination not just making areas look like a bland business park. I can visit hundreds of those for free. That’s what’s annoying people. Universal are building whole new parks, with stunning theming, Disney are just removing all character. Great video, as ever, but on this topic I have a very different opinion

    • @seanstein8313
      @seanstein8313 Před měsícem +3

      Agreed.

    • @TravelingAroundDisney
      @TravelingAroundDisney  Před měsícem +5

      We agree it could have used slot more theming. But the generation planning these new things are use to Minimalist Looks. We do agree Universal is killing it on the theming of the new park. Hopefully during D23 Disney will show why it is the leader in them park entertainment. If they have a misstep during that event it won’t be good. I honestly think this area over time and with festivals will become a great addition. It just feels they were trying to give his community of tomorrow and still have some work to do. Difference of opinion is a great thing to have. Like we have always said just because some likes something doesn’t mean we all will like it. We just believe judge for yourself in person. Thanks for traveling along and being part of our traveling family. We hope you have had a fantastic weekend

Walt’s view has a park-like area with eating, shopping, and entertainment /transportation options… just like his city of tomorrow 🤓. Nothing will ever be perfect and everyone will not like everything. I love the way you take these changes in stride and look for the positive.

    Because all of these content creators have now become reporters. You can’t report on the story differently than the other reporters are. You just have to have more information about why it’s terrible.
    So many of these Contant creators out there are just doing everything for views in for subscriptions . They can say that they’re not, but they really are.
    It’s like Denzel, Washington said , it’s not about being right it’s about being first.
    Some Fandoms have a very large hate trains. And everybody loves jumping a board. Most of these people that complain or even have podcasts were talking about it don’t go to Disney., they’re not even really Disney fans. Most of them are just posting contact that they think people want to see.
    I’ve got itself has become a festival park . There is no festival going on. So this outdoor stage is just being used for a temporary Encanto show. The indoor area just has tables and chairs in it because it’s probably going to change.
    Everybody just Hass to be so critical of everything because the Internet is a safe space for you to do that .
    Go there and see it for yourself .
    And if you don’t want to, why are you wasting your time, even paying any attention to it at all?
