Seeing that Christmas ornament reminded me that I have a few things close at hand...

Sorry, I don’t get it.
Please explain.
It was a stage show in Odyssey.Sorry, I don’t get it.

Any video? An Odyssey Ultimate Tribute?
I remember tiers, or was it a stage? I don't recall any show. I remember a lot of orange and brown as well. We basically ate there to split the day as we went from Future World to World Showcase (only ate one meal mid-day in any park with an early breakfast and late dinner offsite.)

I wouldn't be surprised if it was to prevent curious guests from going back there. It looks like it happened recently from how bright the paint is on it. It was still there at the end of October.
That and weren't there rumors about WoL not opening next year?

WoL will be meet and greets / theatre shows.
Food & Wine will be over in Innovations.

Don't remember ever seeing that show. I didn't even know Chip and Dale had Epcot Center outfits (I had seen the others walking about.)
A nice nostalgic video. I just listened to the Souvenir Suite last night on a bus ride and have been yearning for some vintage Epcot.
In 1991 we had our last trip as a family and I paid my own teenage money so we could eat at the Coral Reef (lunch) instead of the Odyssey. I was obsessed with the Seas Pavilion and loved the alternate tank view from the restaurant. More importantly, this finally let me use the World Key Kiosks to make the reservation.

In case people still don’t believe that the average theme park guest (not the fanboys, the average guest) wants as much Disney movie presence in Epcot as possible... here is a Disney College Program Facebook group page I’m in. For a small example.
They want “Disney”. They don’t care where. So why not put “Disney” where it’s the best thematic fit?
“Disney” used to be about doing it “right”.
Plus, average guest thinks Universal is a Disney park. For example.

So let's say the average college program person is 20, now think back to when they were born, how much of Epcot was changed, or in the process of changing already. They have no history with the REAL EPCOT Center, it was already changed by the time they were old enough to remember anything. I'm just saying that I can't totally blame them.

Uh. I wouldn't call CMs "the average guest". They're crazy for Disney like us. Some care about thematic consistency, some don't.
On the flip side, I met up with a friend of a friend in the CP. She went on a rant of how bad SSE's script was, shutting down GMR was a massive mistake, and why are there are movies tied to every single new attraction. It goes both ways.

So? Just Disney fans who like the movies and don’t really like themed entertainment.

I find most Disney fans don't even like most Disney movies.

And makes the younger guests wish that they could’ve experienced the parks from the glory days!

You are definitely not wrong. I was At my girlfriend’s family Christmas party and her family was talking about their Disney trips (every detail was cringeworthy) and her aunt swore that she went to the “Universal Park with Transformers at Disney World.”
I hate this world. I bounce back and forth between “I guess I just Have to accept this” and “This is not Epcot please don’t.”
