Eyes on EPCOT Center

[EPCOT Explorer]

Soooo... somebody help me out here... what was LWTL closed down for again

Also... princess banner at Epcot. Ew :dazzle:

They said new boats, but we didn't get them. Maybe in 2010.

they did do some refurb work on the AA's though.

So where are these "zomgz gnu boatz N F1LmZ!!!!11!" that these self proclaimed "insiders" were talking about. :shrug::lol::lookaroun

2010....:lookaroun:lol::lol:

 

[Mr.EPCOT]

There were quite a few of the pin sets there. I would guess that they won't run out for a while.

Want! I might have to scour eBay for one, since I wont be down for a few more months at least

Ahhhh...Good. Hopefully they will be there in Dec, and hopefully I can allocate the proper funds.:lol:

I'll see what I can do, Jer. Trip budgets are usually too tight for me to even get merch., and I am *determined* to get the AA Figgy this time..:lol:

Then again, it's in a few months!

Opposite of awesome!

*sigh* Who authorized this piece of garbage? Honestly, there are some ignorant people in marketing and park ops who just don't get it.

Magic Kingdom, fine. This does NOT belong at Epcot. But even with that, this movie/DVD promotion stuff is getting really old really quickly.

And to Moonwalker, as inconvenient as it moght have been to have to stand there for twenty minutes, try to understand they're position and the position of Disney (and the possible liability if they DIDN'T do this). they're just looking out for your safety, so as big of an inconvenience as it was, I guess one just has to kind of roll with it... :shrug:

Well said, Travis.:wave:


Aaaand that'll do me for the night.:lol::wave:

Most likely. We didn't get them this time due to an engineering fail. They're supposedly on back-order.

 

[hpyhnt 1000]

But why aren't they educated on the products they sell? they can't tell the dif between a fruit drink and a margerita??

The two drinks can look quite similar. And remember, these are the same CMs and security guards that don't even know when an attraction in the park they work in is closed for refurb or when its open again; knowing that, do you really think they will know the specialty drinks served in the restaurants? :lol: All I'm saying is, cut them a bit of slack. Could they have done something differently? Sure, but at the same time, its their job, and they're looking out for your safety and their job. If anything, at least this proves they're actually doing their job instead of apathetically standing there not caring, and I don't see how we can fault them for that... :shrug:

That's what I heard too. :lol:


As long as it's open in Dec...

First off, all the pin sets featured in this lovely thread make me want to do a freaking cartwheel. LOVESIT!

Secondly, what exactly happened to LwtL? Guess I'll have to compare old boat photos to the new ones.

Third, I'm going to steal that EPCOT Center shirt with a quickness... :lookaroun :lol:

This thread is amazing. Please, please, please keep it going.

It is just a poster...we all know those can't possibly be bad.

I'm thinking so, seeing that's why they are doing it in the first place.

"Intel" seems to agree, but you know how these things go...:lol:

The fountain was working this evening - I just got back from seeing the Better Than Ezra concert (awesome show, btw - highly recommended if you'll be in the area). Looked like everything was functioning, but I didn't really stop to watch.

Ah, good to hear! It's been so sketchy.... Hope it's OK.
