8) It's a sign of some of the greater problems with Disney World, mostly having to cram studio productions and characters into everything.

This is my issue. Everything is just so commeercialized and cartoonized now. Especially at the Resorts. I remember when they stood alone as Resorts and remember hating when they brought characters into them. This has not happened at all Resorts yet.

For example, at Caribbean Beach, old maps and CBR liteature, mugs, and designs really evoked a Caribbean feel from the actual Islands. The Resort was a real escape. On the other hand, now it's a "Disney-style Caribbean" with an infuse of characters, esp from Little Mermaid.

Wilderness Lodge, having just been there, has really kept its initial identity. The logo with the forest and bears is great. Now imagine if the bears became cartoony Brother Bear style.

No hate here.... but... wouldn't the money that these things were built with have been better sent on refurbing current attractions or developing new ones? The wand and hat do not cut down on line times, no one waits to see them. Maybe Life could have been better funded. Imagination's budget increased to provide a quality attraction. Even in Roller Coaster Tycoon most people will put in more rides and scenery is only an afterthought. Just my $.02.

If actually building and running a theme park was as easy as Roller Coaster Tycoon, would'nt there be one on every street corner next to the McDonalds and Starbucks? :shrug:

I would wand to close this wand thread... but on the ohter hand...

It's kinda funny to see people who wand the wand to go away, while I say the wand is gong to stay, so people wouldn't wander around EPCOT without the wand...

I haven't posted an opinion on this subject before.
Believe it or not, I don't like the wand.:lookaroun
When I stroll past the Haunted Mansion I really sometimes don't get it, I don't know what it is when I see it from a distance. I was thinking maybe it needs a little something to tell me,...hit me in the face and shake me..Hey!....This is what I am!:hammer:

I fail to see what mickey mouse has to do with Epcot or even a magic wand for that matter. If it had to be done it could have been done more tastefully then what is there now. Anybody who understands who Walt Disney was all about should know this.

When I go to Epcot I'll look up at the monstrosity, shake my head and think how pathetic it looks and get on with the rest of my day. It doesn't consume me, it's just stupid, just like that hat at MGM, what's that all about?:veryconfu

They needed a new shop since Main St's Emporium extention threatened to turn it into WDWs Mall king. What better place for a new shop than right in the middle of one the Worlds (ex) best photographic vistas?

Fearing a backlash, management decided to hide the shop under a huge hat so no-one would know. Phew... close shave there then!
