Is the clock ticking on the Leave a Legacy monoliths at Epcot?

[Goofyernmost]

Marni has stated a number of times that they are going to be removed, so your wish will probably come true.

I hope it doesn't happen any time soon - I still enjoy arriving at Epcot to my smiling face (see avatar!).

18 months to two years I'd hope.

Rumor has it that they're going to move the headstones, but to save on costs, leave the graves.

Or at least finding N'Sync during their early years hiding amongst the monoliths...

We always call it the Epcot War Memorial to commemorate the fallen from the Disney Wars. "They died for us- Never forget!"

The horrible thing is that a lot of the people are dead or their marriages have been dissolved.

Sorry but i won't miss them

A thought that should have crossed the minds of any involved in the idea from those planning them to those that purchased a " plot"...

I legit thought "what the hell is this?" The first time I set foot in Epcot... the stones baffled me.

Don't forget the current look of Future World behind SSE.

Sure why not...As it doesn't reflect the Topic that's being discussed...

I think @marni1971 said they won't be destroyed or anything just moved.

Alittle off topic but I found it funny that one of the original commenters on this thread stated that LaL is, "my #1 problem with the park..."

Of all the "issues" that Epcot has I don't think LaL ranks in many people's top 5's of what's wrong with Epcot currently.

But then again i didn't really find anything wrong with the Sorcerer's hat at DHS and still mourn its removal.

Much like Obi-Wan or Mufasa, though the Hat has left the physical world, it is still there, watching over us always.

I'm reminded that, at one time, the large piers supporting Spaceship Earth were painted with brown columns to mirror the Leave a Legacy monoliths. Thank, God, that changed.

top 5 not likely however I will admit it is one of the most visible problems. alot of the bigger problems are not sitting right in front of you when you enter.

post of the month?

to the OP I don't think anyone hated the hat as an object more so it's location sadly.

Correct, legally they cannot get rid of the images yet, they have to be on display somewhere.

I'll take that over the wand any day.
