Maybe they'll move the EPCOT Experience to WS Lagoon during the day so we can see the same previews on the stargate and the tacos. Scratch that. I don't want to give them any ideas...

Missed this. But yes. Every word of it.

Also this. Nobody should be fired for a tweet like that, especially since the entire company is egotistical. But they need to tone down their ego in order to maintain their strong relationship with the consumer. Like everything in life, this can be worked on in a way that makes both parties happy.

This is true of all Twitter. DisTwitter may be worse than some other groups (calling for people to be fired over a tweet is silly), but thinking Twitter is a good representation of just about any group of people (other than, you know, Twitter users) is a really bad idea. There just aren't enough users that actually post/reply to things, and even the ones that do are a self-selected group that tend to amplify only the people that agree with them.

If by “all parties” you mean large shareholders, then yes.

Disney twitter is especially bad because a large portion of the influencers are both financially and personally vested in the topic. People who have moved to be close to Disney, people who have worked for Disney, people who now make their living being Disney parasites, people aspiring to make their life be supported by online Disney content, etc.
So many are in so deep it drives extremes. And add in the lifestyle angle? It's a bubble of insanity.
Contrast that with say, most Car fanatics or Sports Teams fanatics... most don't dream or change their life to be closer to the team/company

That makes complete sense.
My overall point was more that using Twitter to gauge much of anything with regards to the general public is a flawed proposition. I saw another example of this a few weeks ago with something completely unrelated to Disney -- there was something mentioned in a golf article that basically everyone wanted this individual to succeed and nobody disliked them. The comments were full of people who disliked the individual in question; the article's author said that they were basing it off Twitter reactions and apparently that wasn't accurate. No kidding.

Seen plenty of 'articles' that are just a collection of tweets about a topic. Nothing makes me want to hurl more and want to 'cancel' those publishers
That’s funny, because didn’t the “movement” to retheme Splash Mt start with a Twitter post from a WDI person? I completely agree with you, though. Twitter is mostly a cesspool.

That is a lot of offshore drilling equipment to cover up! lol
Wow looking at the video, that’s a Taco not the Stargate. It’s going to look amazing from Italy, Japan, Morocco, the FP area, the desert party area and the handicapped area. However the stargate will completely be obscured from every other viewing point.
This is not going to go well, especially if (as I assume) the stargate is the main storytelling window. Does anyone know if those central arms are going to be used to broadcast similar images to Norway-China and IG gateway-Great Britain?

It’s just laughable if that’s really how high they’ll need the water to go. Walking into WS will be hilarious.
Maybe it was a burst pipe.

If that's how much running water will be in the background of your Epcot Experience, those bathroom lines are going to get quite long.
What makes you say it is a taco? I think it's the stargate looking at the position in the lagoon and the height.
Photos of what I found Earlier:
I love it! It looks like WOC height! A first for WSL. If that's the Daytime Height(Who really knows at this point) we should have no problem hiding the Tacos/Stargate in the sunlight!
As far as this and the Bathroom lines....Rollseyes!...This can't be any different than being near FON, which ran 24/7 from 1982 till 2019!
Overall, a good 48 Hours for Epcot!!!
