And, in my opinion, for the most part, the parks are selling...its the dreaded movies that have bit the big one over the last 7 years or so and instead of admitting "I don't know what the hell I'm doing" Eisner deflects and buys out ABC ESPN? He has to use an outside company like Pixar to create a hit for him? I mean, this makes no sense. Your concerned about your distribution channels more when you really should be focusing on your product...i.e. it sucks. All these sequels are appalling from a creative standpoint. Just come up with something good...even if its every 3 years. Why is that so bad? Why do we have to churn out trash every 6 months? Its just a joke right now, their entertainment division....I'm sorry, I have no sympathy for people that don't see the problems with Eisner's leadership in that area. And guess what, 43% of people out there agree. That's huge.

Finally we can agree on something.:D

When I started this discussion, I wasn't addressing the problems listed above. (Although I completely agree with all of it.) It just seemed that people were always negative about how the parks are now. Even there I'll grant that everything isn't perfect. But when my family and I come home from WDW we can't wait to get back. Not once have we had a bad experience. From the sound of it we may be lucky. We have been to parks here in NY that should probably be condemned.

While I would love to have the perfect parks all the time, I think that I will take MKBurns15's advice and "Wish upon a star."

Maybe someday we can all have the WDW we want. Until then I hope that everyone enjoys the parks, and keeps writing here about their experiences. With all of us wishing together maybe the problems above will also be fixed.

Just to get back to the original post, I like the Hat.:D

The way I feel about the hat is that it is a nice hat and is fun to take pictures of. A hat that big needs to be in a central location, due to its size. However, the location it is in, even though it is right in the heart of MGM, is not a very good location. It blocks the Chinese Theater and it throws off the feel of the Hollywood street.

The hat is an important part of Disney history, representing one of the most well known cartoon shorts in history. But its location is probably what's generating the most complaints.

Agreed. The view of the Chinese Theater should be unobstructed. Move the hat. Why not put it on top of Spaceship Earth? The whole arm thing already ruins the look of SE. Why not just throw up the hat. Then we can plug in some of the Mr. Potato Head accessories from Pop Century (eyes, nose, mouth and big mustache) and really make a joke of it.
I guess I can sum up my opinon as follows: Move the hat; lose the arm.

Eisner = bad, very bad.

Everyone has their own opinions. I can tell you that we here on these boards are not the majority. I am not a huge fan of either structure. But the majority of people who come to WDW don't seem to mind them.

Lately I've been feeling attacked by some of the 'gentlemen' here. If you don't agree with my opinions fine, but there is no need to use sarcasm or belittling comments to show that you feel differently about things than I do. Thank you :).

Oh you mean like this? Yes, I made it. Behold the future of Epcot!

I already tried. It said the picture is too big. Any idea how to make it smaller (150 x 150)?

I had to Photoshop it and try skew it by a certain percentage. I don't know exactly what, cause I changed it a lot.

OK, I tried cutting and pasting yours.
Thanks. You will obviously run the IT Department in our new company, SORCERER-GOLFBALL-HEAD, Inc.
:lol:

Doesn't it seem strange that your avatar says MKBurn15? You can also go to Windows Paint (right click a saved picture and go to edit) and then skew it smaller and smaller.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I do. How do I get it off? I didn't realize it before.

Well, you can't really. But you can take the big picture on the other site and make it smaller with the method I described before on Windows Paint. You'll have to keep checking until it's less than 160 by 160. Windows paint will work better because it will still keep the picture under 20000 bytes.


Or you could do that...:lol:

Yes! no one cares about the hat and the wand anymore, do they? I'll just say this to stick to the topic. I like the hat and the wand.:D

the Sorcerer Hat is vastly popular and isn't going anywhere...end of story. I like the Wand, too, but I know that's much more even split between the lovers and the haters. I don't think it's headed anywhere soon, either.

The wand is rumored to be taken down and replaced by laser projection equipement to make SSE look like its rotatig at night time. Although, this project might not get off the ground until 2008.:(
