Wasn't aware Starbucks was moving into that building; I thought it was going to remain its outpost until Whatever Happens In The West happens. Good to know.

It will be a mixed TSR and QS restaurant, so, it will be more than EU was in the past. And while I agree in theory that Ep doesn't need another restaurant, it does need a QS on that side of what was once Future World. Didn't Walt say there should be a QS every 30 feet? ;) Also, Starbucks will move in for their permanent location.

Prevailing opinion 9and correct me if I'm wrong) is that the entire restaurant will be the whole North section of that part of Innoventions, including the portion that was the ad hoc Mousegear location. Mousegear Lite is now closed and can be demoed for this, but I think we're still a ways away from this portion opening. My guess would be spring, ish. That said, Epcot needs a lot of things. Another restaurant really isn't one of them.

Any word on when the replacement for Electric Umbrella is planned to open?

Hey! they're not just pushing dirt around. As I pointed out in an earlier post, that's the new attraction: Moana: Journey of Dirt. If that's successful, they'll be selling tickets to the new Land of Moana. They'll be caterpillars, graders, dump trucks and even cement trucks to drive. And, if you get lucky, you might get to help smooth out some newly poured cement. Meet-and-Greet will be with Bob The Builder.

I guess there is some analogy in there about Disney spending huge amounts of time and money to knock down the Communicore building on the promise they would build a new, modern Epcot, only to leave the centre of the park a disaster zone for years on end where they just push around the dirt before finally conceding that in the best case scenario they can leave behind a lawn that is at least preferable to the current mess.

Just hope that no one accidentally says your activation code aloud.

I don't know why I keep reading that as Taliban.

Tabilion™️

I'd imagine the lead time on a product like that means the table was still, um, on the table when it was sent to be manufactured. I wouldn't read that much into it.

It may be resurrected. Which is why WDW switched from a less ambitious Festival Center to a "festival area." That would allow Tabilion to still get built.

I do find it interesting that, if the table is totally, uh, off the table, they haven’t scrubbed all references to it. Isn’t the pavilion logo supposed to be a stylized version of the table leg? It’s still showing up on merchandise like the puzzle at Creations.
