Walk Around the World to be removed.

[yensid63]

This is sad. I always enjoyed finding my brick each visit. My brick was by the Monorail ramp. I guess that's the end of the bricks. Too bad Disney won't send the bricks to their owners, it would have made a nice souvineer.

If that is the case I can at least see some logic in it but I do not think that anyone could argue that plain gray concrete will be considerably less visually appealing than the bricks.

I trust Disney will be a bit more creative with this pavement than plain, gray concrete.





Right? :lookaroun

I just thought of this....


Since the bricks cost an arm and a leg...now what is the guy who lost his arm at BB gonna do? I heard that is why he did it.He planned to loose a leg at TL.

My level of trust is a bit on the low side right now.

Mine was a gift from my parents in '96 as a 40th birthday present. I have the location code on a certificate and a small walnut desk decoration. I wonder if WDW would send me the real one to me when they take them out. Not likely, eh?

If I had to guess, I would think this is a "green" project. Much more landscaping and shade and much less 1970's "future-tecture" :hurl:.

That sucks completely... I really enjoyed looking at them while walking there! Last time I was walking I found one from my town, which was awesome to see.. I don't remember it being in poor condition..

 

[marni1971]

But at least WAtW is a practical thing. A walkway.

Some of it yes, but do you really want to walk to the edge of the west canal and not be able to see down it?

I would prefer it if instead of a walkway it was a tram lane to the Magic Kingdom parking garage.

Definitely!

Does anyone want to post the picture of the Paul Pressler stone? :lol:

I guess this pretty much guarentees Leave a Legacy's days are numbered.

Why?:shrug:

 

[The Conundrum]

Why?:shrug:

because just like LAL and DVC, the walk around the world was another Eisner/Pressler era gimmick to rip people off. We are slowly starting to see these gimmicks decay which is very satisfying to me.

I see. Well we have agreed twice today. I better step away for awhile. :dazzle:

 

[Martian Crab]

Wasn't the original plan to use the bricks to pave the way to the bank Eisner was laughing his way to?

 

[Swfewrmco]

Ok, maybe I can see them replacing the areas directly in front of MK and TTC. Those are high traffic areas. My brick is way down the path toward the GF. I doubt that they plan to repave a path to nowhere. Perhaps those bricks will survive? :shrug:

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

I don't know why, but I doubt it.:shrug:


Just a feeling.

 

[DMC-12]

Well... If I owned a brick... I would go reclaim.. before it got tossed.

Just saying. :lol::lookaroun

 

[PuertoRekinSam]

Good Riddens!

(I only say that because years ago, my brick was covered by an automatic ticket machine 3 years ago. If I can't have mine, no one can!:ROFLOL My 10 years wouldn't be up until this May anyway)
