That water is still in there. Maybe they could transfer some to the new fountain out front, Showcase Lagoon and Epcot Seas.

We were at Epcot today. I came here to report that while the Fountain of Nations was still there today it was turned off and possibly could have been drained. No water was visible.

You dont think they feel they need to incorporate more of GE in the movie? Isnt the movie supposed to take place after TLJ?

Yes it does, Batuu itself won’t be in the movie but a certain electronic item sold there will be one of the mcguffins that Rey and Kylo are both searching for.

There's been some rumors that the opening scene of Ep 9 after the title crawl will be a battle over Batuu with Kylo discovering the Wayfinder at Black Spire and engaging the Resistance. All rumor at this point ... but the last issue of the Galaxy's Edge comic does show Kylo in orbit over Batuu with the First Order fleet. My guess is that Batuu won't be seen in the film but the events at Batuu will be mentioned, and the Rise of the Resistance attraction may involve this battle

Spoiler: My take after reading is similar to Brocktoon's "Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire"

In the book Vi (from the Phasma book is directed by Leia to find a new base for the Resistance. She picks Batuu and is sent there with Cardinal (her FO captor and eventual turned-Resistance defector) After much turmoil they recruit enough Batuuian Resistance sympathizers to start building a base. At the same time FO forces are deployed to Batuu to capture Vi and interrogate her to get the location of the Resistance/leia/etc. That plan ultimately fails and things seem 'Happily Ever After'; the new base is growing. All is good until news of Kylo and his fleet are arriving.

Originally I thought the delay of RoR was intentional, in that it would spoil something that would be started in the movie. But then I realized WDW version is opening prior to the movie release.
In any event I think BSO will be featured in the movie, not sure how much of a part.

I SO hope that they fix this show and learn that if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

I know there were some posts around Disney doing more for the Bahamas and why aren't they bringing supplies - so thought I would post this as they are doing just that (as I believe other cruise lines are doing as well)

well, it was fun while it lasted. I am surprised they haven't just started selling them. I am sure a lot of people would pay $2 for one as an "add on" to their meal and then potentially reuse it

Yeah it’s very strange. Also shows why we can’t have nice things.

They could at least give us something that looks slightly different from the majority of forks on earth. The rounded handle was nice on the sporks.

I think the issue is that if it is anything unique, people would take them and keep them or eBay them ... even if not a spork, a GE Fork would still have the same problem
