Epcot is now a Giant Shopping Mall.
The worse thing they ever did was knock down the original attractions to make way for the huge "modern" attractions that get monotonous.
Imagine if they left the original attractions to complement the new ones:

Sadly - Epcot is a half day park for us - and one we have to go back twice for, if we want to fast pass Soarin & Test Track.
And the food isn't even enough to draw us back. I think in our next trip - we'll get rid of the park hoppers - not much of a reason to hop to Epcot any more :(

It's a shame that it wasn't thought of........

Has anyone mentioned that Journey Into Imagination might be redone with the Inside Out characters?
My DD and I were there Saturday, and she absolutely loves Figment and JII, but when we were leaving I wanted to buy her a replacement figment toy because we lost one that she loved. In the store at the end of the ride, no figment toys. Only Inside Out toys, and the move isn't even released yet. I did find her a figment in Mouseworks, but wanted to find out if anyone heard that Figment might be going away?

There have been several rumors regarding Imagination.... One rumor was the pavilion was supposed to close last year, January 2014... Never happened... Another rumor was the ride would rethemed to Phineas and Ferb... Well, that show is now ending, and it seems the craze surrounded P&F has died quicker than the High School Music craze... And the Muppets were discussed, but I'll chalk that up to online fanboy dreams and wishes...
If Inside Out is a success, and it appears it will be, and they were to do something in the theme park, DHS (Pixar Place is the first stop they should look at)... However, if they insist on the continuation of making Epcot Magic Kingdom version 2.0 by adding cartoon everywhere, then Wonders of Life is where it should go... but, they are very happy with WoL being closed (don't have to spend money on running an attraction, right up managements' alley!!!) and keeping it the activities center for the festivals (where they make boat loads more money and operational cost of the WoL pavilion would be less than if it were a 365 day operating pavilion)...
I think we'll see something done with Imagination, but what exactly is anyone's guess... With the way they think, more than likely, Journey Into Your Frozen Imagination with Olaf...
