Continued Apologies
EPCOT Central will be continue to be temporarily "on hiatus" for a while longer due to personal issues. Please accept my apologies and many thanks for your continued patience.
The suits over at DWFLA finally broke down your door with an order to cease-and-desist with the fault-finding at EPCOT, upon which you accepted, only with the condition that you be given an upper-mgmt position to right the wrongs at EPCOT that you post about everyday.
Now, working within the inner sanctum of the Disney/EPCOT machine, you can't write what you used to write about on your blogsite, and have spent the recent weeks trying to formulate a plan of how to trick your avid readers into thinking your still on the outside, angry and bitter, while not divulging the secrets of the future changes at the park, most of which will recreate EPCOT in 1984.
That's very sly of you, EPCOT Central. You almost had me fooled...
I just returned from my own Disney World trip today, and have half a mind to do a Zero-Punctuation-style run-down of all the things wrong with Epcot. I will wait with bated breath, E82.
Hmmm... well, I understand the need to take a break - I'm a blogger as well. But leaving in the middle of a series? Why not at least give the public some indication of your return, like "sorry people, I need a break and will return on June 1st."
Anyway, this is one of my favorite blogs, and coming here each day with no sign of improvement sucks.
Looking forward to your return, Epcot82. Meanwhile, that photo itself is a good enough reason for me to come back now and again. (Who doesn't love pictures of Spaceship Earth?) And the article title matches the color!
I know you left for a while last year, and I had given up this blog as dead, but found it resurrected on a random check-in. I'm hoping that one of these days I'll return to this site and find new posts! Hope all is well...
Hope everything is okay! I absolutely love reading your blog, so will be looking forward to the next installment. I found something on the web that I thought may be of interest to you. I'm not sure whether you have already seen/ heard of it, but here's the link anyway;
Amazing stuff on this site. 360 degree views of many of the corporate lounges in EPCOT. Especially interesting is the "Wonders of Life Retreat", showing what the interior currently looks like.
yeah, every week or so. meanwhile this book has kept me entertained http://www.amazon.com/Walt-Disneys-Epcot-Center-Creating/dp/0810908190/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221537685&sr=8-1 Thank God for the Chicago public library. when the internet fails you...
Epcot82, I love your blog. I hope everything is okay with you.
ReplyDeleteOh, I think I know what's going on here...

(damn contractions, I hate it when I see other people do it, so I thought I should correct my own...).
Keep up the good work, EPCOT Central. Waiting with bated breath for the final 4 steps to a better EPCOT...
Hey, at least this apology has something to look at...that's good enough for me. Hope all is well.

Hurry back. Disney needs more bloggers to help them run their theme parks. They don't know anything.
ReplyDeleteCome baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Enjoy! :)
I think we're all commenting in vain here folks...
ReplyDeleteyet as you can see, I still come back... every. single. day.
You know what Albert said: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
But remember, it's "Just a little break"
ReplyDeleteI loved this blog, as I loved EPCOT the first time I saw it.
ReplyDeleteAnd so I keep coming back...
I hope you are better soon...
RIP and Godspeed EPCOT Central.

ReplyDeleteYou're right! They updated disneygroupevents.com - and it isn't letting archive.org view old versions. Now I feel like a jerk for posting it...
