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

Kimmel routinely pushes TWDC agenda, everything from vaccines to the Avengers. I'm a fan of his but he certainly does what is asked.

I don't realize vaccines were an "agenda." Here I thought they were sound medical advice from professionals with years of experience. My bad.

It being agenda has nothing to do with being correct or not. I agree vaccines are good and should be given but at the time Disney was facing a PR nightmare (the debate was spurred by Measels in Disneyland) and Kimmel was used to spread that knowledge to those not informed. Having agenda is simply having a reason behind why you do something.

Telling someone even the most indisputable facts could be agenda driven if it were to serve me a purpose, say quelling fear (right or wrong that's still what it is). I don't disagree one bit with them wanting to get that message out but I most certainly can point to it as an instance where he did something beneficial for the larger company.

Technically, yes. But "agenda" has developed a negative connotation over the last decade. What used to be called a "hidden agenda" is now just an "agenda." I would argue Disney's push against measles was more a decision with purpose.

Soo.... now that the hat's gone. What will be in place of it as the icon?

Not too shabby when you consider the fireworks options.

Beautiful!

Such a beautiful picture! And no &%#$@* stage mucking up the theme / aesthetics.

Beautiful!

That's true, though the current view would look more like this from where most people can stand.

True haha. Also, I'm literally laughing out loud at your avatar of the Partners statue

Actually, Disney is currently using ToT as the park icon online.

And on merchandise it's the Earful Tower. It's all over the SWW items. The merchandise team has one idea and My Disney Experience has another..

That picture looks to be taken with an iPad itself...

Indeed. ToT is more identifiable but it's theme is not really central to the park. As many have said for years, the water tower's problem is its location.

I would be tapping those idiots on the shoulder to lower their devices so I can see the fireworks too. Selfish morons.

Semantics but I agree, I personally would have stated hidden agenda or made it clear if I was trying to make a statement but nobody would know that on a forum lol.

Kimmel is a lot of things, many less then wonderful, but, one thing that I don't think he ever will be is somebodies puppet. He has walked the edge for many years, I don't see him changing at this point. He just might, (gasp), really believe what he was saying about vaccination. It just happened to be the same side as Disney. It does happen.
