Welcome to the future!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I won't say that it's completely disappointing, but it's certainly a very different take on Tomorrowland.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "this is disappointing" It sure is. Talk about dull and bland. It looks like something Disney would have conjured up pre-EPCOT Center. I don't really care about SDL one way or the other, but I certainly hope WDI ends up delivering something for Tomorrowland more compelling than this.
