Hey everyone! I'm new here and this is my first topic.
Back in '03 (the first time to WDW), we stumbled upon a robot named "Francis". He was near the Imagination Pavilion (I think). We went over to talk to him and we had a nice conversation. He asked us where we're from. My mom answered "The Crescent City". He then asked "Is that where crescent rolls are made?" As a kid, I thought that was hilarious! My mom then told him we had to leave to go to HISTA. Francis was really sad and asked my mom if she can take him with us. Sadly, my mom said, "I don't think you'll be able to sit down." He then cheerfully said, "That's O.K., I can stand in the back!" We left and didn't see him for a couple of hours.
Finally, after walking around, we saw him trying to escape the rain and we asked him what's the matter and the guy with Francis said he had to get out the rain. Francis didn't want to get a cold! Once again, I thought that was funny because I didn't know he wasn't "real".
I went back to EPCOT in '05 and I didn't see Francis. Does he still roam the park? What happened to him?
BTW, he's purple.
