Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

What a bizarre question! I'm pretty sure that's not what he was saying.



Thank you for that. I wasn't able to find the shot we are looking for but I only glanced through. If someone sees a photo of the innards during construction while they are browsing, could they post it here?



Ok. You know you have got to do this now. Don't tease.



Did you just call Spaceship Earth "the ball"?

I'm with you. No one disrespects the 183 foot perfect geodesic sphere, and the largest of its kind for that matter. We are among its many passengers...

Looks more like a flying saucer today.

Or like a toilet bowl lid. It fits with the theme of the thing.

Can we all agree to a moratorium on the use of the word "icon" regarding structures in a theme park after the hat is gone to the big scrap heap?
Not indefinitely of course, but for a year or so?

I'm hoping the Earffel Tower will receive this treatment again during the 2015 holiday season... A Santa hat that is 28.5 feet in diameter!

Icon, but Icont speak for everyone else.

A few great memories that make the Earffel Tower nostalgic.....

You are correct - a giant coffee mug is going in place of the hat.

Anyone know if the hat is going to be recycled and used somewhere else? I kinda like it, but not in front of the Chinese theater.

Not that it hasn't been stated about 100 times in this thread alone... but the hat is gone and it is never coming back.

I like the sorcerers hat one... It was actually the "t word" (temporary ) oh the irony.

No, it is clear from how it is being taken down that it's not going to be re-used.

I'm pretty sure they're saving the pieces. They're going to super glue all of the pieces back together. It will remind people of when they were kids and tried to hide that they broke something.
