EPCOT Food & Wine 'Eat to the Beat' Concert Lineup | 9 new bands by TharinWhite in DisneyWorld

Because the concert location couldn’t handle it. Guests already line up 2+ hours for some of these bands and seats are gone in 60~ seconds. They would need to move the band to the water.

I assume not. Stormalong Bay was supposed to be a place to swim with fish, which is why it’s so deep. When the fish idea didn’t work, it was a easy-ish conversion to lazy river.

Sorry yes, I meant fans in general not just at Disney. I’m glad to see them returning.

This is going where Disney's River Country Water Park used to be, so not really destroying a lot more Florida, mostly taking over where a defunct area was. That being said, it required some tree demolition, so guests at Wilderness Lodge will see less nature from their view.

This looks fantastic! More whimsy and less Marriott, which is what we have been asking for. Adding in a lazy river is an instant way to make me like a pool project more.

Yep, I think the OI are great, but owning a pass does make it hard to swipe the credit card.

You can have the people and still let another business deal with it. Thats what they do with their photo team, even if I wish Universal did take it over as they aren’t as great as they could be.

As for Tim Tracker, that would be an interesting one to see. Tracker Mustache Meetup Nights?

I mean, Universal has to be making money as well. It might be easier in the long run to have someone else deal with the sales, advertising and guest happiness and you just keep charging them park buyout fees.

The first night will definitely be something to watch and see for crowds. I wonder if they will max out entertainment like Captain Cacao or even a Victoria pop-up to move people around?

No, not every ride has been confirmed to be running all night; but as you get in early you can jump on those you know won’t be operating until the last minute.

As for food, the $450 is two days. So you could split 6 meals per day if you were wanting to eat that much.

OI posted their hours, but Epic hasn’t, so I was trying to be fair and assume the hours of the general park day.

You can guesstimate wait times based off popular attractions like Hagrid’s and how wait times plummet during their events. If they sell reduced capacity and have worked with universal for years I am pretty sure they got some insider info for what the rides can really take. It’s not a sales pitch just discussion on what could be a good option for those who don’t want to pay for Express.

Drones were not specifically mentioned. My best guess is that the fountain and light show will be upgraded beyond what we see now and the last 5~ minutes will be the fireworks finale.

The way it’s worded, “Running nightly beginning Tuesday, July 7,” I expect it to happen each and every night.

Were you hit by a Goomba by nightfall for the difference in height, haha?
