I kind of agree. I didn't care one way or the other for the wand...but some of these people are talking like it's the second coming of something. Like taking the wand down is gonna put Epcot back to the way it was in the 80s. Truth be told...the 80s Epcot sucked. I hated it when I was a kid. I liked Figment and that's the only thing I even remember from Epcot. I actually like TT, M:S, Soarin, and all the new attractions. I'm sure I'll like the Nemo ride and Gran Fiesta too. They are making Epcot edu-tainment and to me that's fine. I still learn something, but I'm not bored to death. Epcot is actually becoming a bit fun to me. It's something that I at least semi-enjoy now.
But removing the wand is not going to do a darn thing about returning the theme park back to the boring park that all these people think was fun before.
I guess for me that's an advantage, as I never knew what it was BEFORE. So everything was fresh and new for us. I'm not really interested in Soarin or Test Track, but I'd like to give Mission Space (green version) a try. But I really enjoyed Living with the Land, and we all liked going to the Seas. I'm much more impressed by the design of World Showcase, and the efforts made to capture such authentic detail. But then that's what impressed me about all of WDW, the emphasis on themeing. Not the design of trash cans or how many light bulbs are burnt out.
