RDR 489: Overrated or Underrated at Walt Disney World? Our Disney Debate With Mindy!

It’s time to play “Keep, Refurbish, or Replace!” Doug and Lauren head to EPCOT and decide which attractions, rides, and restaurants deserve some Disney love—or a full makeover. Keep, Refurbish, or Replace? Epcot Debate! EPCOT fans, this one’s for you! This week on Rope Drop Radio, Doug and Lauren go pavilion by pavilion deciding which parts of EPCOT should be kept, refurbished, or completely replaced. From Spaceship Earth to Frozen Ever After, we give our honest takes on which experiences still shine and which need a little pixie dust. We’re joined by our Patreon community and listener feedback as we debate fan-favorite attractions like Living with the Land, Journey Into Imagination with Figment, and The Seas with Nemo & Friends — plus EPCOT dining favorites including Connections Eatery, La Cantina de San Ángel, and Biergarten. We even tackle EPCOT’s live entertainment and films — from Voices of Liberty to Reflections of China and Canada Far and Wide. What stays, what goes, and what gets the refurb treatment?
