Is it just me or do you find it really annoying that they are hawking AK DVC .. but can't spruce up the place.

Yeah I saw that over at http://www.mousesteps.com , it's just really tacky to have that at in a pavilion. Don't get me wrong they have the right to do that but seriously why destroy the WoL pavilion's ambiance with this. Granted they are doing the food and wine festival in there but this looks more permanent than the food and wine stuff.

This attraction is a no returner... sad, unfortunate but true.
I'll be very surprised if it ever re-opens now that it's been gutted.

Pretty sad show on their part - they've done so much with Epcot to spruce it up and then pull this off. Go all out fix it up for the F&W events already! Don't just leave old signage up, etc. and walk away from the attractions or pretend they aren't there. Create a new ambiance for the building for the festival if you are going to use the space.

It is a neat building from an engineering/architectural standpoint so it is nice to see it open but still - don't do a half-hearted fix! Ok, rant over...

Hi - I'm from Mousesteps (I know I've already said that!) I don't like the big DVC area in the WOL pavillion either, I bet I said that on my site too. :). Personally, I'd rather see the Wonders of Life back to what it was, and not used for the Food and Wine either. It is out of the way, and I don't think it is set up as well for the events.

I don't expect it to open back up, as some of the stuff is already history (though I think Body Wars hasn't been changed).

I find it really sad that they're keeping up the signs for (at least) Body Wars as well as the inside maps which show everything that used to be open.
The map of the pavilion as you walk in the door now shows where the different food and wine events and shops are scattered throughout the pavilion.

I'm surprised they haven't renamed the pavilion to "The Food and Wine Festival Pavilion". At least it's being refered to as "The Food and Wine Festival Guest Center Located in the Wonders of Life Pavilion". Disney always comes up with long crazy names like that. (The Seas with Nemo and Friends Pavilion :roll: sheesh)
