ORLANDO, Fla. — Editor’s note: This story is available as a result of a content partnership between WFTV and the Orlando Business Journal.
There aren’t enough spoonfuls of sugar to overcome the bitter taste Disney fans face now that they have to wait longer for a new Mary Poppins attraction planned for Epcot.
Several theme park sites reported that changes to the Epcot Experience attraction— a show that featured upcoming changes to the park — lacked a specific portion that teased the Mary Poppins experience at the United Kingdom pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase. And it was no coincidence.
A Disney spokesperson confirmed the reports to Orlando Business Journal, stating work on the project is paused and its future under evaluation. There were no other specifics shared.
Details on the new attraction were sparse as it appeared to be a later project for Disney, which has been busy with a transformation at Epcot.
On this Sunday’s Central Florida Spotlight, Greg Warmoth speaks with Orlando Business Journal Senior Staff Writer Richard Bilbao about the impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on the Orange County Convention Center’s expansion plans and customer traffic at Orlando International Airport.
It airs at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, July 19, following Eyewitness News at Noon.
