What an impressive talent and visionary Roy Disney Jr. proved to be. The Disney company will certainly feel this loss, as will the fans who cherish all he did to preserve the integrity and quality of his father and uncle's groundbreaking empire. If he really was your uncle, than I give my most sincere regards to your family. He will certainly be missed.
I have to agree with the other posters. I love visiting this blog, as I have done since its inception, but at least have the courtesy to "check in" with us once in a while, EPCOT82, to share the status of this site.
My last visit to EPCOT was in June 2002. I'd like to go back again but I used to go with family and we're all in different places at the moment. It's not the sort of place you can go to on your own.
Epcot82. Please wake up and talk about your opinions on Italy's newly created Neapolitan ristorante, Via Napoli. It introduces the architecture of Florence to the Italy Pavilion, an actual backdrop to fill the pavilion out, the water for making dough is imported from a well in Pennsylvania so it has identical content levels to that in Naples, it has beautiful vaulted ceilings, frescos, imported blown-glass and ceramics from Italy, mythology tie-ins, and new authentic costumes(Remember when there was that possible costume-elimination scare?!) You wanted an Italy expansion desperately. (We all did!) It's not an attraction but it's a brand new architectural and culinary experience. The place is beautiful. Please tell your fans what you think! We want to know! -Mike H
@Blog: Duffy the Bear isn't a bad idea. It gives kids something to do in world showcase without killing attractions with character franchises. Duffy is a sailor character and children can purchase all sorts of cultural costumes for their bears in each of the pavilions. It doesn't spoil anything like gran fiesta and the princess-ravaged akershus did. -Mike H
1/3/12 - a while back, he seemed reinvigorated... perhaps he needs another challenge. So, here goes: I just got back from WDW, the Imagination pavilion is horrible! The yet-again-revamped ride with figment? Brutal! It's bad when the best thing about an attraction is a 25-year-old movie featuring a jerry-curled MJ! SQV

ReplyDeleteNo, he wasn't my uncle ... just what we liked to call him. :-)
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be Cousin Roy?
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic website! I just started an Epcot media blog over on tumblr. http://epcotcenter.tumblr.com/
ReplyDeleteDisappeared again?
ReplyDelete3 months of checking for new posts, to no avail. Your fans are getting restless.
ReplyDeleteThis blog dead again?
ReplyDeleteRIP, EPCOT Central....again.
ReplyDeleteSo is this blog dead or what?
ReplyDeleteSome of what has been posted here is from an interesting POV, some not. Like every other blog.
But at least those people post once in a while.
If this place is dead at least do your few readers left the freakin courtesy of telling them.

EPCOT82, we miss you! Please come back soon.
ReplyDeleteHi EPCOT82, I hope you start posting again soon.
ReplyDeleteMy last visit to EPCOT was in June 2002. I'd like to go back again but I used to go with family and we're all in different places at the moment. It's not the sort of place you can go to on your own.
(cricket...cricket...)
ReplyDeleteTumbleweeds....
ReplyDeleteGeez, people. Just be patient and wait.
ReplyDeleteThe bitter Disney blogs have a long delay between posts. You gotta let that bitterness ferment long enough to develop into a good post ;)
ReplyDeleteBitterness ages like fine wine.
Hey Spokker-
ReplyDeleteYou look just like Huell Howser! Any relation?
Epcot82-
What happend to you? Don't you have any fight left? Cause the fight is'nt over, and we need Generals!
Are you coming back? We miss you and we need you! As Paul! said, the fight isn't over.
ReplyDeleteI started blogging about EPCOT. Someone has to while Epcot82 is idle.

ReplyDeleteAnother fine and relevant attraction added to Epcot: Duffy the Bear!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on an entire year without a new post.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary of not posting. Let's hope there's not a second one.

ReplyDeleteR.I.P.
On 3-3-11 I think it's safe to say this blog is over. It was fun while it lasted.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the blogger was Roy Disney himself?
ReplyDeleteMaybe if we all keep posting comments he will come back!
ReplyDeleteLet's see if we can get this sucker up to 1,000!
"Maybe if we all keep posting comments he will come back!"
ReplyDeleteYes! Please come back, Epcot82! Your posts were always insightful, witty, and well-crafted; and I for one enjoyed reading them.
We do miss him here in Disney Orlando hotel, It's a great loss.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Disney paid him to be quiet. hmmmm. 5-15-11
ReplyDeleteWeb sure miss him here in Lake Buena Vista Hotels.
ReplyDelete9/12/11 - I used to read this blog all the time when it was active. Can't believe it's been so long.
ReplyDeleteOver two years and counting. Keep the faith, people!

Wishing you the best. Still checking in every so often. Hope you have found the peace you were seeking a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteDear Epcot,
ReplyDeleteI pray for you wishes will come true.. Amen..
Every person always has a right to be happy.. Nice blog.
ReplyDeleteHave you found your uncle, Epcot????
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see this blog come back to life - (Andy from the UK).
ReplyDeleteI come around here every month of so, waiting for the band to get back together.

ReplyDeleteThe new test track is practically a modernized EPCOT Center attraction. You need to review this thing when it's open. There IS hope.
