RIP EPCOT wand.

lol

 

[Cricketmint]

for those of you who havent seen SE with out the wand,

and just my prediction of what we have in store for us, for the 25th!!

I think it looks ok without the wand too, but I do not like that I'll have to see it while it's being worked on, so it will be not so attractive and ready for pictures.

I'm surprised they haven't done this already.

'Tis a sad day indeed for the wand lovers...I know I'll miss it!

 

[JPN4265]

Now its time to start working on the Hat and the monuments.....

 

[miss missy]

We will miss it and I hate how it looks with no wand, no lights... blah

 

[babar41]

Glad to see the wand coming down, think it looks more dramatic without the "added" effects.

I agree that the hat should be next. But....

STEP AWAY FROM THE MONUMENTS!

 

[Cass]

I know the hat refers to MGM (I too hated that hat from the beginning) but what are the Monuments??

the leave a legacy tombst...I mean mouments in the front of Epcot

 

[dgaston]

I think the wand added a much needed touch of whimsy to SSE.

 

[DizzDoll]

I agree with the Wand Lovers . I have pictures of the sphere both ways and much prefer the wand (ok, ducking here!! ). In my most humble opinion, the plain sphere just screams for "Titleist" to be stamped on it.

I too enjoyed it more before the wand went up. But as for the "Hat", I like it much better than the water tower. And as for the monuments, we put up a legacy right after my dad died (He loved EPCOT) so to say they are tombstones seems ironic to me.
Everyone has a certain fear when it comes to change but sometimes change is for the better. I just wish they would have left EPCOT (e.g. Mexico is now a donald duck ride) the way it was. Oh yeah, and bring back the aerial acrobats that used to fly gliders over the World showcase lake in the afternoons. Now they were cool!
