As much as I love Spaceship Earth (and I REALLY do) the ride itself is quite squeaky and bumpy in parts, which can detract from the experience. Probably nothing that oiling the track wouldn't fix. As for JIIWF, I am tempted to agree with Joel, but the truth is I never experienced the original...

BTW, I mean which rides have lasted the best and worst.

Which older rides/attractions at WDW do you think have stood the test of time the best? By this I mean both how much you continue to enioy it and it's general condition at present. IMO, Muppet*Vision 3D hasn't aged a day. I still watch it and think 'What a GREAT show this still is'. I...

Just another celebration, as far as I know - no particular reason. There's pretty much always some kind of celebration on in WDW these days - probably just for marketing purposes. Let's hope a new one begins October 1st when they've actually got something to celebrate! :)

Wish I was going then - love Spectro as always and think DDCT is one of the best day parades there has been at MK. Catchiest song ever!

:lol: Agreed. There's way too much going on on the outside - much prefer simple white look of all other SMs. The ride itself is superior though, IMO - the one element of DLP that beats DL and WDW. Think they should build a similar SM in MK, but in the same white building that still stands.

Oops! Then maybe I am crazy! :hammer:

No way would I give UOE 10 years, to be honest - it's already dated, and I think Disney will get around to replacing it entirely fairly soon. I reckon it'll meet the same fate as Horizons and WOM eventually. I agree that the entire Imagination! pavilion needs serious attention, but Disney...

Cool photo jeffb! Strange how Disney never removed the white purple FX logos from this after FedEx ended sponsorship...

Has Jim Cummings re-recorded the pre-show spiel for IllumiNations: ROE? Have watched several videos on YouTube and Google Video and the most recent ones don't start with 'Good evening, and welcome', but with 'We welcome all of you to Epcot, and World Showcase'. Plus, the entire rest of the intro...

Sounds interesting. But can I ask, after meeting up... what do you plan on doing then? :confused: What could you do which you wouldn't on any other day, and that wouldn't arouse the attention of cast members? This is, of course, on the assumption that Disney have nothing planned (which I hope...

I know I've brought this point up already, but if lack of a sponsor forced WoL to close, shouldn't UoE be headed the same way now that ExxonMobil is gone? I understand that it's a more popular pavilion, but surely it costs a similar amount to maintain? It may not be as dated as WoL, but it's...

Is the souvenir part really true? Are they that strict?

That's it either before HCOE or between it and YOMD. You can see the gap in the green bar where the 'Where Dreams Come True' sign has now been put. Can't find a photo of new one though - anyone got?

Only discovered them last year, and LOVED them. World Showcase at night is my favourite place, and their stunning, exotic sound creates an atmosphere that's hard to describe. Are they still there? If not, :cry: , but does anyone know of a site where I can download some of their music? Hope to...

Just seems strange that everyone states age as a factor, yet it wasn't even an original FW pavilion. UOE is still open (and now sponsor-less) and I thought that seemed pretty dated too. Disney rarely mentions it in park literature anymore, either, so could it be headed for the same fate as its...

Sorry, posted in the wrong place.:brick:

Does anyone know of a substantial reason why Wonders of Life was changed to 'seasonal' status? In all the times I've been to the World, I've never had the chance to visit, and I can't think why Disney would keep closed an attraction that it spent so much money to build. Surely it can't be...

Anyone know when the entrances to the World were modified for YOMD, with the castle facade and 'Where Dreams Come True' sign? Only now saw a photo, and while it looks better than before, it's still a little grubby-looking, and I think the entrance to such a grand complex deserves a more grand...
