3. Future World Space restaurant

Projected opening date: TBA

Progress: none

Though we weren't totally surprised last year by the confirmations of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Ratatouille attractions, one announcement that we did not see coming was that of a new space-themed restaurant in Future World. No name or location details were provided, but Disney did specify that this establishment would have special "windows" that simulate views of the galaxy as diners “travel high above the earth” during their meal.

Interestingly, no developments regarding this project have been revealed, leading some to speculate that this project has been quietly cancelled, like the Main Street Theater at the Magic Kingdom. However, we haven't heard anything definitively yet, so hopefully we'll have some kind of update on this project soon.  

4. Epcot central hub redesign

Projected opening date: TBA

Progress: none

And speaking of stalled out projects, last year Disney released a new piece of concept art that showcased a new central hub area in Epcot. This new image shows a radically different central area of the park, that does not include several buildings including Innoventions, Club Cool, MouseGears and more. Though Disney presented this image without much context last year, no progress on this possible transformation has been made, which makes this another project that is seemingly in a holding pattern for now.  

Are you excited for the future of Epcot? What project are you looking forward to the most?
