Anyone know if this is coming back?
Friends had this made at the China pavilion a few weeks ago for my daughter. It's basically caramel, but it was made freehand. They had another made, and said the woman who made it was so friendly and talented. When we went last week she was gone, as a the booth. Was this just a festival exclusive?

EPCOT 4th Fireworks
Greetings from the All Star Sports pool! We are having fomo about potentially missing EPCOT’s show as this was our heat rest day and the plan is to end at MK tomorrow.
would you say the holiday special is a must-see? We have seen “regular” Luminous before (and think it’s great!) but the holiday add-on is what’s causing FOMO.
if we don’t just bite the bullet and pay for another park day 😬, are there any good places around resorts to see the show and maybe Red, White, Blue Spaceship Earth? I know I could look on a map, but hearing rumors that Polynesian is blocking people from doing that for MK.

[BOTD] Celebrating festival season with my full Epcot theme! 🍇🌸🗺️
Hey everyone! Sharing my bracelet for today, which is completely dedicated to Epcot. It's easily one of my favorite parks to walk around, so I wanted a design that captured that specific festival energy.
The layout relies heavily on a mix of limited-edition Food & Wine Festival and Flower & Garden Festival charms. To anchor the World Showcase vibe, I also included several of the Mickey country-specific charms. Some of my favorite details on here are the cluster of Figment pieces at the bottom, the Orange Bird dangles, and the Remy chef disc.
I'd love to know how many festival pieces you've managed to collect, or which Disney park is your personal favorite to visit!

How do you think it would have affected Animal Kingdom if Epcot had built the Equatorial Africa pavilion?
When Epcot opened in 1982, one of its planned pavilions was Equatorial Africa. Located between China and Germany, it would have been a combination of Congo (Zaire) and Kenya, showcasing the cultures of sub-Saharan Africa
Among the attractions were planned to be The Heartbeat of Africa, a percussion show; Africa Rediscovered, narrated by Alex Haley; a treehouse with an animal diorama; and a soundscape safari
However, the project fell through due to budgetary issues. Epcot's sponsorship system required a company or government to sponsor or financially contribute to their respective country's pavilion, and Africa is not the most economically or politically stable continent. Only a few African countries showed interest, and the only one capable of funding it was apartheid South Africa
That's how that much-publicized area was ultimately canceled, and in its place is a meager "Outpost" drink stand in the planned area between China and Germany
But in 1998, Animal Kingdom opened, and it not only showcased real African animals on a safari, but also included Harambe, a fictional African village that served as backstory for its Africa zone. This also featured live percussion entertainment, Tam Tam Drummers, similar to The Heartbeat of Africa planned for Epcot
What I was wondering is, what if Equatorial Africa had never been canceled, or at least not entirely? I mean, Epcot claims to be a world fair, but it's seriously lacking in representation, since most of the pavilions belong to developed first-world countries, while cultures like those of sub-Saharan Africa or India are relegated to Animal Kingdom
I imagine that perhaps the pavilion was mostly built, although elements like the animal displays were omitted to make room for AK

Are There Any New Photos of The Original ImageWorks?
Has there been any new photos taken from inside of what remains upstairs in the old image works at the imagination pavilion. I’ve seen new pictures here and there over the past year but I haven’t seen any ones this year so far
