Anyone been in Epcot while they were removing Mickey's hand and wand from Spaceship Earth sphere? Surely it can't be done in a couple days.

So please let's see the progress folks.

These were taken a few days ago:

I know change is good, but that really makes me sort of sad! :guilty: I was probably in the minority, but I liked the wand and hand - it just said "Disney magic" to me.
 

Now it is starting to look like I remmeber it back when EPCOT opened

thank you - oh the change is really going quicker than I thought. That was sure up there securely. You should hang onto your pictures forever.

So they're really taking it down?? :sad1: My DW and I both liked the hand and wand too. It was there the first time I was able to take her to Disney and it was there on our honeymoon. :sad2: So are they just going to leave it plain now or are they planning on putting something in it's place?
 
I'm a little sad too. I liked the wand. Wouldn't that look pretty over our house. I wonder what they are going to do with it?

I've put in a bid for it for $20. Maybe I'll get lucky and get it!!!! :banana:
 
I do not know if they plan on it, but I also hope the stars come off. I guess I am just a WDW purist. There have only been three years since I was born that I did not go to WDW and two of those were before EPCOT even opened.

I will be there starting next Friday. I am hoping they get enough gone to get the crane out of there by the end of my trip. Otherwise, I am going to have to brush up on my cloning skills!

ukcatfan - ok you have a mission to take photos of it when you're there and share with us all!!!!

I think it was so huge that there may be no place to put it. But might be nice to see it somewhere again in the future.

Kevin, I agree - those darn "stars" can't come down soon enough for me! They're incredibly incongruous.
 
The star brackets make Spaceship Earth look like it has two-day beard stubble.
