I also miss EPCOT. Also hate all the latter iterations of JII.

Well I must agree on the PC changes that were made prior. That by itself degraded it. PC does that kind of thing.

Although it is still a great ride like it is I think I would welcome the overlay. As for blasting the AC I think that would make it a clear winner! Its hard to think Norway when its 90+ outside. This would be one of the few good fits like introducing PotC movie characters to PotC.

This stroller thing is a little off topic but I think it does help answer the question: Why Disney is better than Universal and other amusement parks... Just look at the number of visitors and the number of strollers being used. It is a family trip. Yes UNI is doing much better and Sea World...

As a parent or just as a visitor I would have never considered a stroller. Grand kids change everything! Meet and greets are very important and I ride rides I would have never considered before. Dumbo? Sure! The little race cars that only go 5 MPH but the kid can drive? Great Idea! The...

I have been going from 1971. I am now a grand dad and see it from that view. Most of the rides I can still ride and the kids like to ride. The shows are the same way. Disney still has a lot for the young and older. I am not into thrill rides any more and that is most of UNI. However, it is...

It has been a while but I will put my 2 cents in. People/corps/govs say what they believe people want to hear. One indicator of true believe is where does the money go! I see nice new buses and a nice new bus loop at MK. I see experiments with new buses. I see the same boats but still...

First of all the kids make a huge difference. Really. Yes there is a lot to poke at if you want to. It is easier to poke if your older and seen much of the parks already. I still go back myself because I like it. I like the atmosphere. Its like an all day party if done well with good...

One more little thing. The grand kids like the stitch ride.

You are correct! I am very blessed. I have been able to visit them and enjoy them for a long time. I have many family pictures on Kodachrome (slides) and many great memories. I still visit them when I can today. There is a lot to like about the 2 parks I mentioned and they could be great. I...

WDW Best: The way I feel like a kid again with the family. Best embodied by the new TV advertisements or that old EPCOT song Making Memories or the picture show on the castle. I was there soon after it opened and was convinced that monorails and people movers would be everywhere in the future...

In 1982 JITI was the best ride in the park! That was along with other great rides. Now it is the worst ride in the park. I love EPCOT and I can see how JITI still has small kid appeal. I believe it went from best to worst simply because of cost to operate. Like 20K in MK. The ride itself...

Wow! Thanks for the insight. Never considered that to kill an idea one just needs to give it away by posting it. How counter intuitive! Only in the USA. It turns out it was not a very good idea anyway. Thanks for a very enlightening response. There are many things I am not good at and law...

If I did not think it was illegal I would simply send you mp3s or WAVs or some other format.

A last off the wall idea. In the 1980s DIsney produced an LP record album of EPCOT music simply called EPCOT Center. The Main Entrence song is on there. You might try to find a copy on ebay or other place that sells classic LP records. I know because I have one. If you want to make a slide...

Thanks. I did not think of it from a technical angle. I just remembered the song sounded like barbershop 4 part harmony, and come to think of it I have never seen a true barbershop with a piano. I guess it was more of a 1920's sound as I also recall a girl somewhere in the song. Anyway...

Having been to Brazil I can tell you that most of the US companies sell to Brazil. However, not the same brands. I never found Nabisco Nilla Wafers there while I did find other products from Nabisco. Things like Cocoa Cola, McDonolds and BurgerKing (yes, you can't escape them) are there and...

For me at EPCOT on my birthday and wearing one of the Birthday buttons, The last cast member at the last of the night on the way out to the parking lot still wished me a happy birthday!

Back in the 1980s EPCOT had a pre show for the Magic Journeys movie called Making Memories. If the Daper Dans could get a piano player that would be a great Disney song for them to do. However, I do not know if there would be any issues with Kodak as they were the sponser at the time. The...

I have a small idea for the Disney company for MK or EPCOT. I am not sure where to put it. It is not a rant or complaint, but a small inexpensive idea. There needs to be a place for that so that Disney execs. can fast track to it.
