Accidental Dead Mickey

I have read a lot that the wand against Epcot was a bad decision but why? I always liked the wand - I thought it looked amazing.
I agree with you completely. I could have done without the stars sprinkled directly on SSE, but other then that it was a very upbeat and clever way to connect Epcot and Walt Disney World. You hear complaints all the time about how people don't seem to know that Epcot is part of WDW, so they put something up, that, albeit accidental, ties the two and you would think that someone killed a close family member. I loved the original and if they could find a place to relocate the graveyard in front we could have it back.

That said, I only spend a few seconds in which the graveyard and SSE are in front of me, so it's not that big a deal, but, I cannot remember ever thinking that those "rocks" were anything other then depressing.

Think back to when Epcot had the horrendous magic wand next to Spaceship Earth.

We all hated it...but...did anyone else get the macabre impression that Mickey was dead?

Look at it. Just LOOK at it.

Spaceship Earth fell from the sky....and landed on Mickey. He's there thrashing his arm about, waving his wand trying to cast a spell to get it off of him. Even worse is the "Leave a Legacy" graveyard is shaped in such a way that makes the area look somewhat like a giant impact crater.

Help never came. Mickey died, and the Circle of Life did it's job....and to quote Mufasa, Mickey's body "became the grass", which explains all of the greenery growing up around the arm.
Mickey didn't hear the golfer yell, "FORE!" until it was too late...

Not sure how true it is but I remember reading on here that during a showing of Fantasmic one night, Mickey fell from the 'mountain' and injured himself (broken leg?). The show was stopped and the audience asked to leave whilst Mickey was examined before being moved. Well as the shocked crowd were waking out an older cm was shouting "Come on kids, Mickey's dead"

As I say I read it on here but don't know if it was somebody trolling or not (sounds strange), just thought I'd add it here though as it seems appropriate.

That impact must've been hard as it took his other glove and for some reason his BAH Landed in front of the Great Movie Ride never to be removed again....
