Holidays, Finishing Touches and Imagination (11/7)

Were straws not allowed because of the material or because of the shape? Do the paper ones break more easily than the plastic ones?

Why is it you seem to be excited about it? I HATE it.

1. It makes EPCOT look like a prison or some kind of barricade in a battlefield.

2. It aids to the already-here-annoyance of the awful new security setup that makes me walk way out of my way.

3. It makes my favorite Restroom pointless, because by the time you get over there you might as well have just gone in the park and found the next restroom.

4. It ruins the clean look of the area, and creates an intrusive visual barrier to the park. It violates pretty much every rule in the WDI handbook.

In short, it is awful. All I can say is this...

In the year 2007, the crime rate at Walt Disney World increased 100%. The park EPCOT was then walled off to become Maximum Security Prison EPCOT. Disney Security surrunded the park, like an army.

:lol:

I couldn't agree more. I don't know who designed the new setup at Epcot but instead of making things better they have made it worse. The new gates are ugly. Of course don't get me started about the whole checking bags thing is not real security it is just to give uptight americans the illusion of security.

Is it just me or does the do-dads above the front desk mirror the look of the main building's roof? Just struck me seeing these two photos in a row. Another intended (or unintended) detail.]

Bingo! Good eye.

Sure about that?

Maybe it is partially an illusion but there is more to it than that.
