Juan's News and Notes of the World

Yeah there are only a few left. The ones on sale were the black shirt with a gray epcot logo that said EPCOT CENTER three times in orange to pink and the black shirt with the green and blue vertical stripe that says "The 21st Century Began October 1982"

Ugh. That's the one I wear constantly and paid full price for haha. I guess I'm getting my money's worth out of it though.

Great...I bought the black one for $20+ back on May 27...

I think they should sell hats with each of the old Epcot logos on them individually.

I would love to see some merchandise with the old FW logos on them...alas I couldn't really find anything when I was there, other than the shirt I bought which had the spaceship earth logo.

It was taken down recently and repainted. They were putting it back up and only had the top right corner and Golden Gate part unfinished.

haha I was too, but I went there two weeks ago and was like "Oh, a blank wall." Then when I went back last week, I saw that it was being put back together and the colors looked much better.
