Construction walls that had been covering Epcot for four long years finally came down last week as the last segment of a major park redesign was completed. World Celebration, as the new attraction at Disney World is called, is now open to the public, and while many like what they got, others are being a bit less forgiving. But one Disney fan has tried to explain a bit more clearly why the area doesn’t work.
I haven’t visited Epcot myself since World Celebration opened, so I can’t give my own opinion on the area, as I refuse to pass judgment based solely on pictures, and I don’t pretend to be an architecture expert, but one fan who’s Twitter thread has gone viral lays out why the new area doesn’t work for him, and I can’t really argue with the points being made. The primary argument is that, especially during the day, the area just feels like any public park in the world, without any of the special touches that make theme parks, especially Disney Parks, special.
