Isn't a year a little long for that?
I've heard several rumors of a phineas and ferb themed area or even phineas and ferb getting put into figment. I don't want figment touched its classic i think it needs to stay close to the same. Captain EO I can see going I'm fine with that. But when figment comes into the question and rumors are flying about what's going to happen to figment I'm not happy with that.
R.A. Pedersen who does the Epcyclopedia site did an interview about the Imagination pavilion and its possible refurb. It's an interesting read!

Dreamfinder and Figment were a big happy part of Epcot for me. The new Imagination ride is, IMHO, a poor step-child of the original. As for Pherbius and Finn? Who are they anyway and why would WDW want them for an entire ride sequence? My grandchildren (ages 6,8, and 9) watched it for a while, but it got old for them quickly and they moved on to other things.

Well, I just finished watching a video on YouTube from the 2013 D23 and not only did they have Dreamfinder and Figment present at the Legends award ceremony but they also played a compilation video from the original Journey into Imagination attraction.
Sounds very promising!
During The Disney Legends Awards program on Saturday at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif., Bob Iger addressed recent rumors that Figment could be disappearing from Epcot.
I dont think Figment is going anywhere, anytime soon. I promise, Iger said before he announced 2013 Disney Legend Tony Baxter as the man known by fans for creating Figment and Dreamfinder.
Iger said the company learned the hard way that people love Figment and Dreamfinder.
Hey folks, I didn't see a thread here discussing this so figured I'd start one (sorry if there's already one that I missed).
Saw a post on The Epcot Explorer's Encyclopedia Facebook page about the Imagination pavilion at Epcot closing on January 2nd, 2014. It says "The Captain EO show will not reopen, while the ride and retail location are rumored to remain closed for one year for renovations".
Anybody else hear anything about this, or have any idea what Disney might be planning?
Intersting article in that it sort of debunks the Phineas and Ferb rumor. However, it really only indicates that the pavillion is going to close and not what's going to take it's place.
I've been saying for awhile that Disney should be going to Apple to sponsor this pavillion. They are already in league with eachother on a bunch of stuff and Apple certainly has the cash handy.
