Trivia: A few years ago, Disney constructed a giant sorcerer's hat on Hollywood Boulevard to block the view of the Chinese Theater so that guests entering the park wouldn't think that they had accidentally wandered into Epcot's China pavilion.
Free advertising??? LOL
I see it as more of a parody then actual bitterness.... some of it is quite funny! :animwink:
For example: From a description of Epcot's World Showcase
"Germany and Italy
These were both, at one time, fine, proud pavilions full of glorious pride and national ambition. Unfortunately, a few years back they got together, nationalized all of their attractions, and tried to expand into other parts of World Showcase. Although the French pavilion made only token protests, the other pavilions (with the notable exception of Japan) put them back in their place. Today, these pavilions are allowed to have nothing more than a restaurant and a couple of token shops, just so they don't get any ideas."
Sorry, but that's funny!
