Eyes on EPCOT Center

[aladdin2007]

Well' It's progress.

For Disneyland, as usual. Poor wdw gets left in the dust in many ways. But then Disneyland did too for much of the 90s. I wish our Imagination Institute theme would go byebye.

and in about a year it will become the west coast human portal for Monsters Inc :lol: (still it's a little improvement...)

No' not really and that is not confirmed yet.

still... if you see what I said, even MILF is an improvement :lol: (Captain EO is slightly better but not as much as MILF, due to age and such) it's not like there is a 4D movie playing at WDW that could go into tomorrowland at DL... Though Stitch LIVE! would work as well.

I wonder at Disneyland if they will repaint the exterior walls in the old pink and blues that could be found when Captain EO originally played at the park. :lookaroun

Anything's better than the bronze that's there now.

The Stitch invasion has begun...

Hi-ho, Kermit the frog here, I took a picture with Stitch at Epcot during my trip in August. I was there 30 minutes before opening. When the park opened, only two characters were in the enterance plaza: Daisy Duck and Stitch. It was nice.

Uhhhhhhh... WHAT?

I'm confused.

Not sure I get it either lol, but anyway it reminded me of when the classic characters use to appear in each country pavilion dressed in the traditional costume. That was really nice for World Showcase. Minnie would appear in Japan and be dressed in a kimono and I think goofy would be in Norway dressed as a viking, Chip and Dale use to be so cute running around China all decked out, Mickey in Canada etc etc. I really miss that aspect. It made the cultures of the pavilions more celebrated. Of course they have done away with that, along with the cool and fun double deckers which really made the place extra special. Anything unique or a little extra special just seems to go down the drain anymore. And people loved the living statue, why did they do away with that!!

Mexico Donald is there but I think that's it. Saw Mary Poppins at UK last year.

Oh yes' I have fond memories of the living statue. I was dumb enogh to give him my autograph book.

I miss the guys who would walk around on the "stilt birds" - does anyone else remember them? I have photos of them from, I think, 1996.

Remember all of these. Little details and uniqueness...Gone.

Well it turns out that at Disneyland the return of Captain EO will be billed as "The Imagination Institute presents Captain EO".

That's interesting, wonder if there'll be a new preshow video with Dr. Channing explaining why they're presenting Captain EO.

 

[Next Big Thing]

Here's the new poster for EO in DL. Notice it says "Tribute" next to Captain EO.

Doubt that, unless they make a deal with Idle.


They will need a intro, though.
