huge hints dropped by managers. it was only built for the millenium celebrations (like the epcot wand, which is now gone.) no dates have been set up for it going done yet.

The Earfel Tower once was but is no longer the icon of the park, go to disneyworld.com at the top of the page it says: Parks, Resorts and More Magic, if you roll over "Parks" a Drop down menu appears listing all the parks, as you roll over MK a pic of Cinderella's Castle appears, when you roll over Epcot Spaceship Earth, AK show the Tree of Life and when you roll over Disney Hollywood Studios a picture of the Hat is shown. I have also saw other logos and advertising for WDW which represents the Studios with the Hat. Wikipedia.com (which I will admit cannot always be trusted with full reliability) also states that "The tower used to be the park's icon, but in 2001 The Sorcerer's Hat was built and became the icon." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earful_Tower)

LOL I am also a fan of the hat! And I don't think the logo is bad either....Now I'm not saying it's all that great either but it could be way worse! 
Right. We have some older park related items, books, cups, souveniers, etc., and they show the 4 park icons, and the "Earfull tower" was indeed the Disney/MGM parks original icon. Although I believe most folks thought the Chinese Theatre was, as it stood out as you walked in the front gate.

on the mug i purchased at wdw in '98, there are pictures of all four icons...the earful tower, sse, the castle, and tree of life
it was during our trip to wdw in '88, when we 'discovered' epcot (had no clue what it was when we walked in) that we saw the 'earful tower' in the distance and perked up and said, "what's that for?"
i would have MUCH preferred that remained the icon
i hate the hat
on another board, when it first dropped out of the sky, we called it the "big ugly hat" and its acronym was buh
personally, i now think of the ToT as the icon of the park because it's what i immediately think of when dhs is mentioned, even if the ToT is not centrally located
with the other three parks, their 'true' icons are the ones that come to mind when i think of them
i find dhs has the most 'personal identity' issues of any of the other parks
the new logo doesn't bother me, but it also doesn't inspire me or draw me in

I like the hat too!
That earful tower is just so lame - it's cute to look at once but anything more is not needed.
The hat is a place for the kids to have some fun and play around with. I think of it on the same level as the tree of life. It can be very fun for kids.
Tree of Life - find as many animals.
Castle - look at in awe and dream.
Spaceship Earth - WOW - imagine
Mickey's Hat - brings back fond memories of the Scorceror and at least my kids love the opportunity to be so close to Mickey's Hat. All kids know Mickey and most kids love Scorceror Mickey.
Having to have a kid look up for that earful tower and realize how far away it is - is like okay look at that thing in the sky with Mickey ears. How did they get up there? Answer question - end of whatever little excitement there was for it.
See the Mickey Hat - whoa - can we take a picture of it with me? Can I play by it? Can I touch Mickey's Hat? How big was that Mickey who left his hat here? All sorts of things each and every time.

Off with the hat! I never understood why the hat was placed in front of the Chinese Theatre. I liked the feel of looking down the street and seeing the Theatre at the end.
On the other hand, I do think that the water tower should be the icon for the studios.
Maybe the hat could be moved to the Disney Park they are building in Louisiana .
