It may not be as beloved as the classic Disneyland or Magic Kingdom attraction posters, but here is the brand new World Celebration poster for Epcot. Love, hate it, or something in between, the transformation of Epcot under the direction of Imagineer Zach Riddley has at least stirred up the Disney theme park fan community. It's been a mixed bag: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is the big winner here (regardless of whether or not it fits), the addition of Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in France makes clear Disney Corporate's intention of the direction of the park, and Journey of Water inspired by Moana seals the deal with its out of place and theme addition.
A few refreshed places to eat, new shopping, and a core of the old Future World still a mess after years and years and years of clumsy decisions and slower than slow construction make Epcot a park we love to hate on- even if we follow its buildout faithfully. The Play pavilion and the Mary Poppins addition are now elements that never survived the transition, but you can still find their attraction posters here. The official World Celebration poster which came earlier.
Is the poster real? There seems to be some serious doubt, although it is in the style of those that came before it. I don't really care- just like how I feel about most of the "New Epcot".
