Instead, if it is done at all, it will be the end of a token gesture done to make irritating fans shut up for a while. Maybe I am just a pessimist, but I see EPCOT further sliding into generic Epcot theme park obscurity. Disney is outsourcing customer service, once thought to be a core competency and now is something they are so bad at they are willing to pay someone else to do it for them. That gives me so optimism about the future of any of their properties that are currently moving in the wrong direction. I fully expect them to continue sliding in a direction that will only inspire me to reconsider why I would spend ever-larger amounts of money on them.Lidstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299935418508698525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23143199.post-1166019923784355262006-12-13T06:25:00.000-08:002006-12-13T06:25:00.000-08:00I'll miss the updates for the rest of the year, bu...I'll miss the updates for the rest of the year, but thanks for the great blog! I wish EPCOT could return to its roots too. I miss that sense of unbridled optimism that used to run rampant through the park. <BR/><BR/>Maybe Mouse Surplus will wind up with the wand and it can be auctioned off to someone who will turn it into the next artificial reef - at least, that way, something good would come of that thing's existence. :-)Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12316245294248077291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23143199.post-1166011996750985012006-12-13T04:13:00.000-08:002006-12-13T04:13:00.000-08:00I'd buy that.I'd buy that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23143199.post-1165987092549132432006-12-12T21:18:00.000-08:002006-12-12T21:18:00.000-08:00It's a wish for the New Year -- hence, it's a New ...It's a wish for the New Year -- hence, it's a New Year's wish! :-)<BR/><BR/>As for the wand ... well, I'll believe it when I see it. But I bet Disney could make a few bucks off of each of us by selling pieces of it online -- just so we can dump those pieces in our OWN garbage for a little personal satisfaction.Epcot82https://www.blogger.com/profile/14763893513279437902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23143199.post-1165980475167686582006-12-12T19:27:00.000-08:002006-12-12T19:27:00.000-08:00First of all, you want to lose the apostrophe in '...First of all, you want to lose the apostrophe in 'YEARS' in your title. Just a helpful little note. ;)<BR/><BR/>Secondly, the Mickey Wand hovering over Spaceship Earth is slated for demolition. Sooner than later. So the first wish for MY New Year is already being attended to. Here's hoping that I can be there to press the plunger.Mr Bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952506736745891323noreply@blogger.com
