I was in there around that time period too. I don't think anyone knew it was open! As much as I hate to say it, I think it was time for the attractions to close. I just wish we got a good replacement!
I have to agree about the character interactions. They most often happen when there aren't a lot of guests around. I'm not sure how it could be done with lots of guests. I had gotten my picture with Chip and Dale at the Adventureland Veranda one year and Dale walked me over to the Aloha Isle...
I'm super nostalgic about 90's Epcot..so of course I would want to bring things back. However, technology and progress need to be taken into consideration and I understand that.

I LOVE the laptop case. I wanted to pick one up and was about to settle for the black one when I noticed the 40th anniversary one. The retro Epcot logos sold me!
It might be because they weren't present. Usually with any FL ticket, anyone over 18 needs to be there in person and show their ID (whether it is a FL ID, or another state ID that matches the information on the mortgage or whatever). Unfortunately, you cannot buy FL resident tickets for other...
I have one, and would support them being cut up and sent to their owners. Will that happen, no, but it would be nice.
I figured they would be around 10ish years. If they go anytime soon, I won't be too sad, although it is neat to go back year after year and see the differences.
