I updated to the correct name- Leave a Legacy.

Um...."Crowds were one reason why shows on that stage went away and never came back."
Not true -- the stage is used throughout the year -- daily 4 or 5 times during the holidays for the jazz/spiritual Christmas concert...and at all special events for pop-up stage events: choirs, bands, etc...

That stage needs to be refurbished, it's ugly. The bushes are a start.
Considering there has been no change in configuration since they were installed, how did they go from cute to tacky?

When it was first put up - it was cute - a nice gesture to maintain our legacy. I have a photo up there. But in 2013 - its tacky. i would rather they go away now
So it's not so much tacky as old and dated.

Some called it that day 2.Exactly - dated. At some point it will be like a cemetery give or take 50 years.

There's short-term thinking for ya. Well mid-term, to be fair. Inevitably, within a few years, a few decades, LaL was destined to turn EPCOT's entrance plaza into a graveyard. It's good to remember lost loved ones at places that you shared. But does a cemetery make for fun - or even appropriate - theme park material?Exactly - dated. At some point it will be like a cemetery give or take 50 years.
"How was your day?"
"Great. We laid flowers at daddy's memorial, then we rode Test Track - drunk!"
Disney Parks - enter through the cemetery, get drunk, exit through the giftshop.

Though the Leave a Legacy program was discontinued in June 2007, more than 550,000 tiles were sold and remain on display for Guests to remember their very special day at Epcot.

It might be a totally corporate response but its one I have trouble disagreeing with. People paid good money for those tiles and unless they'd be getting refunds it would rub me the wrong way if Disney were to take them down not even seven years later. As is I rather like the design of the entrance, though admittedly I haven't seen the previous one to compare.That is such a Disney-esque response

Have no problem with that but they could be displayed elsewhere and still meet that objective. They stones are dated and IMO have looked out of place for what was intended to be the entrance to a futuristic world. The original fountain and pools around future world accomplished the feeling of going to the future, or at least what it might be like, much better.

How can stones look dated when by their very nature they are millions of years old and will outlast us.

So if you paid for something and it was a contract that you agreed with, you would have absolutely no problem with your contract being changed without your consent?That is such a Disney-esque response
Evidently there was an old and tacky clause hidden in there that no one else saw.

I really, really hate that stage. It takes away from the fountain.

If I have it correctly, no stage, no fountain shows. They should remove those pointless ugly white bleachers on top of the stage.

I still hope that one day they'll remove the stupid sails that obstruct all the decent views of SSE...
