I was kinda shocked by the "tombstones" in the entrance plaza. It felt really crowded and cluttered. I hope they move them.

TBH, the only bit in Futureworld I liked back in the 80's was Imagination ride. Now that's been kind of hamstringed. :/ I never really like the "edutainment" aspect of EPCOT. The "edu" part was always a bit light for me. It felt sorta like a very big, very expensive children's museum. I...

My daughter will be so sad..... the wand was her FAVORITE thing in Epcot.

Totally agree. And I love the Serenity avatar. :)

I don't get the love for COP. It was REALLY outdatted when I last saw it in 1993... I can only imagine it comes off as even MORE dated now. Some rides manage to age well (POC, HM), others do not.

I saw a really crappy game show being filmed there once. And a Tarzan TV series.

Welp, I have no use for the Swiss Family Who? Treehouse or the Tiki Room. I'd lik eot see more Pirates themeing... but then I've always been a pirates nut!

My guess is that cut scene was from when they find him "at world's end."

It was an unfortunate joke. Dihydrogen Monoxide= H20 = Water.

Yup...it really won;t crimp our style too badly... but it will make me sad to see it all closed up. I AM looking forward to seeing it al spiffed up though :)

Well darn. First time to WDW in 13 years and one of favorites rides will be closed. Boy, I pumped this ride up to my daughter too. Now I have to tell her it's closed. :( It'll probably be a few years before we can go back too. Ah well.. had to be closed on someone's vacation s'ppose.

Not that I think stereotyping is OK (after all, the miserly Scrooge McDuck is TERRIBLE sterotype of Scottish "thriftyness"), but the simple fact is that minorities that have a history of oppression are gonna be more sensitve to negative sterotyping. The cultural reasons for that are deep...

:lol: I should have been more clear. It's not that I feel the film accurately represents history, it's that I feel it IS history. It's part of the conversation about race that was happening in the 40's and 50's. Even if it is offensive (and i could see how some would be offended by it), it is...

Not to be snarky, but the behaviors you object to involve consenting adults (with the exception of adultery I suppose), while I doubt most victims of racism consent to such treatment. Having said that, I wish this movie were available, even if released quietly. History isn't best dealt with...

I haven't been to Epcot since they've had the wand, or MGM since the hat went up. I wanna see both! Maybe I'm a heretic, but I found Epcot to be a bit of a bore the last time I was there (except for Illuminations, which was cool even then) and I'm looking forward to seeing Epcot as it is now...

Says you! :) I can tell you the commercials for the YOAMD is what put me and DW over the top in deciding to go. We think the campaign is precious... and reminds us of teh magical times we had in WDW years ago. I couldn't have cared less about the previous campaigns, but this one struck a...

The last time I was at the "Studios" (eschewing any reference to an actual name!) it was a "working" studio. But the only shows we saw being produced there at the time were AWEFUL. I mean, really embarassingly bad. Frankly, I'll be glad if they gave up the cringe-worthy fare. I always liked...

I can;t agree. Even if they just list that HM will be closed for refurb for 3 months SOMETIME during the summer, that would be better than nothing. If I could only afford 1 WDW trip every 5 years or so, and that one attraction was important enough to me, I might choose to wait till next year...

My thoughts on this: HM is my second fav ride, so naturally I will be disappointed if it is closed during my my visit, given that my last visit was 13 years ago, and this will be my first visit with my daughter. Some regulars on boards such as this forget that not everyone here gets to go...
