As I've spent a lot of time over the past couple of days picking apart the concept art for Epcot's new Future World, the thing that is perhaps most striking of a change to me is that the future Disney will be putting out there is lush and green.
While we really have no idea at this point if that is an environmental message they are trying to send, it is a message that has crossed my mind. The concept art shows a vast amount of new green space with flowering shade trees (once they grow a bit of course), park benches, plentiful water features, the journey of water exploration trail, and overall a beautiful tomorrow. While concrete pathways will have to be big enough to move the masses It seems like a great deal of effort is going in to landscaping for the comfort of guests in a park that is already known for its elaborate gardens and spring flower festival.
In changing from a sterile "space age" concrete look to something more parklike, do you think Disney is sending a message to guests? Or is it just something playing around in my Imagination?
