It would be lovely if anything from Horizons was included in the new attraction, but I'm about 99% sure that it won't be....

We bought the souvenir Epcot book when we visited in Jan. '83. The future World Showcase pavillions listed were Equalitorial Africa, Spain, and Israel. Norway and Morrocco were not listed. In regards to the retro Epcot merchandise, I need to complete my Epcot Future World sliding tile game collection. I have Horizons and Living Seas, but I need the rest.

I agree with the fact that the original spaceship earth is much better. I mean, i think the new hand takes away from the completenss of the geosphere. All you need to see is the big ball to know where you are. The wand makes it look tacky. It just flows better without all the exra nonsense. Oh well, it's just something we all have to deal with.

Exactly! Except that I keep hoping that it will go away...you know, like the birthday cake castle disaster!

I liked them as a temporary thing (well, I didn't care for the cake at all - bygones!) but not as something I was going to have to deal with forever!

I ws just there April 14 - 20, and there were lots of retro t-shirts still available in Mousegears! They were selling well, too, so I'll bet they'll be around for a while.

What was the name of the Epcot book that you all are talking about.

Does anyone (other than whoever made the decision to keep the had) actually LIKE the mickey hand on spaceship earth?
When I first saw it (in 1999 as it was being readied for the millenium celebration) I liked it as a TEMPORARY thing. I fully expected it to be temporary. Then when I saw the new (and thoroughly gaudi) Epcot logo on it last year and this year I hated it.
I agree with those that feel it looks tacky. It ruins pictures of the skyline... compare pictures pre hand and pictures post hand and you will see what I mean.
Which actually looks better on a postcard? Which has a better feeling to it?
As for the new Epcot script on the hand which doesn't even match the new epcot logo... well WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
One more thing, on my last trip to Epcot a sign actually said:
"This attraction will be open to 7:00 pm"
Open to? As in it will be open to units of time?
Someone needs to get back on the ball... Disney did not always have these little annoyances in the past. And I hate to see things that I love fall to either decay or drop down to the least common denominator.
