Does Disney enjoy taunting us or do they have a plan?

Hey, nostalgia is good for business! I don't see anything wrong with them putting out such things, as long as it's not just cheap junk. I'd avoid that stuff. Look at all the expensive merchandise companies put out aimed at the nostalgic adult fan. Statues based on old comic books, cartoons, etc. Everyone's doin' it!

I don't know about them laughing about it, though. They see a niche market, and go for it. It's not as if they create new rides and remove old ones because they hate the old stuff.

But sure, I agree that some of it is just a cheap cash grab.

Well Disney does indeed have a plan.....

MO MONEY!
MO MONEY!

SIMPLE AS THAT MY FRIENDS...............:fork:

Tomorrow's Child - it's pretty much synonymous with EPCOT CENTER.

Correction was!

Well ... what we have now isn't EPCOT CENTER. It's like a lame kiddie version created by people with zero long-term thinking skills and a poor understanding of the original concept of the park (particularly Future World). The place hasn't been the same since they changed their name to Epcot 1994; it's a different park. It even has it's own graveyard at the entrance where people can mourn the old park.

The first Pass holder Vinylmation will be Mr. Toad

Geez, not only am I bumping and old thread but I'm thread-jacking it at the same time! :lookaroun

But does anyone have any idea when this will be available? How many will be made? How does an annual passholder get one of these?

Thanks!! :wave:

The name the Imagineers aptly gave to the last room on JIYI, because all of the uproar of Figment's disappearance in the second rendition.

"You wanted Figment. So here he is. EVERYWHERE!"

I see that more as a tribute to the original ride ending. It was full of Figments on tv monitors imagining himself doing different things.

Early summer, I heard 8000 and probably at D-Street

You're making the mistake of assuming the pin people have anything to do with the Imagineering people. It's a big company.

After some people see the last room they just think it is creepy

Do you mean the room full of Figments or Dr. Channing's face in the moon?
