Show me: Mickie arm on Spaceship Earth.

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

We actually don't mind the hand and wand ... it just seems too plain without them.

Here are a couple of our pics to add to the thread ...

And without the tower I dont know how they would keep the EPCOT hanging magically in the air... thats alot of Pixie Dust.

Not sure... just have to wait and see I guess. I dont read the Orlando Sentinel but Channel 2 news from Orlando I do listen to everyday... since Im not that far away. If they are only removing the hand, glove and wand, then EPCOT could stay if the tower isnt removed... but again... have to wait and see.

I'm very happy to see SE return to its roots and to the design Walt wanted. Photos of it, even with the arm, are boring unless you have great light and sky so any mid-day photo of it is going to look bad.

Actually Epcot we have today or back in 1982 has almost nothing in common with what Walt wanted. Walt envisioned a living, working city, not a theme park. Therefore he never designed or saw SSE or anything else we have now.

I do like the hand. Maybe it's because I saw disney through my 5 year old's eyes this time, and it reminds me of the magic.

Here's one with just the wand, no Mickey arm. Oh, and there's a special guest in the frame

Since we're on the subject I'll post this one, too...just because I like it

Looking at these pics with and without the arm, it blows my mind how many people actually like it without! It is far more attractive with the arm....Also, I think they should add a set of Mickey ears to make it look like Mickey is behind it!

Anyway, heres mine:

How about this: the arm is rather like a pink flamingo in your front yard. Some people like 'em, some don't. You know which group you fall into.

Sort, kinda....Pink Flamingos are tacky....as is Disney...so it would be like making the Flamingo tackier, I guess.

Our first trip was in Dec of '99, so I have never seen without. I like it, but will enjoy the new-old also.
