Remember how Dinoland had a DJ set up, off in the corner where you could easily avoid it and the noise wasn't affecting the other lands, complete with a custom on-theme stand, all in an area where it fit and wasn't distracting? Plus characters? Then that went away with covid, never came back, and while that never came back they decided to try shoving DJs in areas where they clash heavily with the theme, are impossible to avoid, and ruin nearby areas with the noise pollution, all with boring looking stands? Cause I think about that a lot. Gotta put them everywhere except where they were actually a decent fit for years. Can't close in 2025 if you have a DJ booked in 2022, I guess. There's one in Tomorrowland now. No, it's not the Stitch dance party. There was no Stitch. Just a DJ.

A fusion perhaps? But, his sticker on his Laptop says "DJ Vito"

Is that... Josh Allen? Or... Jon Snow?

Just curious...This isn't the same DJ they decided was a dumb decision to put at the Train Station after the Fireworks went off in MK a few years back? Photo from blogmickey

Has anyone considered taking the stanchions from around the planter and move them to blockade the stage? Maybe that'll stop the horrible noise that always comes from there.

All the noisy stage shows they have there while trying to enjoy Epcot is horrid. The feel is not even close to what it once was

We’ll see what happens. I was similarly certain they would hang onto Harmonious despite the megaflub. Maybe the purpose of GEO-82 is to generate the requisite revenue and view-related impetus? 😆

Well they did restore the original entrance after 20 years as a glorified concrete graveyard which in my opinion was the only good thing to come out of this disaster.

Surely they are aware how much a fountain is missed. It’s probably a situation where they refuse to admit failure so the best way to bring a fountain back is to wait long enough and or for some special occasion like Anniversary.

Pops in. Rolls eyes (again). Leaves.

I thought the music that replaced the real OG music from 1982 shouldn't have been replaced entirely with Innoventions music, this is what happens. 20+ years from now they'll replace the music again and people who like today's music will complain...and the cycle continues 😅
