We should all buy all the ballons in Epcot. Then stand in front of the pavillion in protest. Who's with me??
I don't think we should protest this change unless something regressive replaces the balloons. I'm not against changing the balloons - - I am against getting rid of them and replacing them with something irrelevant or less meaningful.

If this becomes the case, or if we hear of their definite replacements, those options could be on the table.

The way things are, there is a chance that it could be a balloon selling station and instead of the hot air balloons there will be hundreds, nay, thousands of Mickey head and Tinkerbell balloons................Gosh I hope I am wrong.

Perfect Photo's Grizz! I can DEFINATELY use those! By the way, I can';t believe I almost forgot the fountain was leaving! :cry: . Would you happen to have some pictures of that too? There's an Idea brewing in my head that will hopefully be done cooking soon . . .

Yes. I have tons of photos, even more of the balloons. I have even more footage. I was PLANNING to have more of the balloons, but OH WELL.

Hey Grizz,

I directed the guy from www.Extinct-Attractions-Club.com over here to talk to you about The Land he is making a new DVD about it. I have the old one and it is nice but this next one should be really good. I hope you don't mind but as the Land expert I thought you would be the best person to talk to about it.

Thanks - - speaking of EAC, does the Land video have official footage of the Kitchen Kabaret/Food Rocks?

No just video from people who send it in. I was a lil disapponted in the DVD cause it has very lil on the rest of the Land. Nothing on Living with the Land or Listen to the Land and Symboises(sp?) is not even talked about. I hope he has learned some over the past year. It is a nice thing but the prices are getting a bit high for some of the stuff.

Wasn't it common knowledge that the balloons were gone once the pavillion closed for the redo of Soarin'? So them going 1 month early doesn't seem like too big of a deal to this hombre :xmas:

We assumed they would go in January. A lot of us were using our December trips to say goodbye to the Land atmosphere; the balloons made up a portion of that.

Let's just say the COURTESY key to the kingdom is rusting. Not to mention SHOW.

Is anyone 100% they are gone? I know you got a PM about it but have we talked to anyone that was at the park today? I am just thinking back to missXStech girl and her "Skippy is going to have spots" thing that blew up and turnd out to be false. I am in no way saying that your info is not on the up and up but it would be nice to have some pics or atleast someone that was actually in The Land today to back up the story.

Thank you, Speck. Did you see any other alterations in the Land? Did it look empty?

The place was busy......food court-wise It looked like some movement had happened with the Soarin' wall......it now has a small opening.
