Interesting Question from 'Ask Dave'

Oh, the magic of Photoshop.

As for the Interactive Epcot Ball, it was indeed a sociable event for adults but Disney feels it conflict's with their "family brand" and their "Bold New Vision" has now let third party vendors such as Little Miss Spoiled Brat pay for the space.

Oh, those were dark, dark days....

I thought it was a formal dance where you could meet other singles.

C'mon let's crawl... [gotta crawl, gotta crawl]... to the interactive Epcot Ball ... [to the ball to the ball]

Nah, doesn't have the same Sherman Brothers "ring" to it.

 

[_Scar]

wait...there's an interactive Epcot Ball? Can I kick it??

Yes, but it's interactive so it kicks you back.

I think Dave's losing it in his old age. Been stuck in his little office in the archives waaaay too long. Last time they let him out of there was Epcot's 25th.

From today's Disney Insider e-mail...

"We LOVE the new interactive Epcot ball!!! The narrator on that ride sounds like Dame Judi Dench — with the accent and the huskiness. Is it she? We never get tired of visiting the Parks! Definitely "magical" days!"

Usually these questions are great, but this one....

It's EXACTLY these type of people that Disney is catering to at WDW. It's these folks that are content with whatever Disney tosses out there, and what TDO hangs its hat on.

TDO does things the way the do because right now, they CAN.

I wouldn't be surprised if they change the name of SSE in the guidemaps.

"RIDE THE BIG BALL!"

"RIDE THE BIG BALL!"

Why not, they practically did on the Disney official website :brick::fork:

"RIDE THE BIG BALL!"

Direct from the Epcot main website:

...

The Epcot theme park icon, Spaceship Earth , looking like a giant golf ball rising high above the horizon, welcomes you as you walk through the Park's main entrance.

...

I guess sometimes truth is stranger than fiction! :brick:

EDIT: ChrisFL beat me too it.
