[Hoop Raeb]

Is everyone sick of my bad puns yet?? :ROFLOL: :hammer:

OK, what you've been waiting for. Enjoy!!

And a closeup of what's left of the wand itself.

This is probably a stupid question, but are they taking those stars off of SSE as well? I hope so...

 

[Pabgo]

Great pictures! And to the poster above me, yes, they are going to take off the stars.

The stars were placed on Spaceship Earth when the Wand went up so they should be coming down with the rest. SE would look pretty silly leaving stars on the top with the Want now gone.

Are the folk in the bottom left raising their arms in praise to the deity of their choice for the wand's removal?

Great to see the progress!

[sillykid]

Thanks for taking timeand getting us the pics we all soooo desire to see.

Thanks for posting the pics. I mentioned to DH that the "Epcot sign", as he calls it, was being taken down. His answer? "why? I liked it!" :lookaroun

 

[SirNim]

What a way to brighten my day!

 

[TheDisneyMagic]

Fantastic puns tehe I was looking out for one, thanks for all of the pictures wehey just a wee steel structure and a couple of stars to go now...

 

[diddy_mouse]

Sweeeeet!

And those people do look as though they are "raising-the-roof" to a wonderful looking SSE. :lol:

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

This looks great...Even with the side structure there SE stands out more again!

 

[Animaniac93-98]

I'm not sick of your puns jvrabel.

 

[Ringo8n24]

It sure seems like without the wand it makes the Leave a Legacy tombstones stand out more. I am thrilled the wand is gone, though.

 

[Swoosh]

That looks so much better. Now comes the interesting part where we see how fast they can take down the tower. I wouldn't think that it would take much more than a week. Lop off large chunks and haul them out of there.

 

[DisneyDellsDude]

Thanks so much for the pics!
It's fun to have something that we can monitor during constuction (or de-construction for the wand ) now that E:E is over and done with.

 

[mickhyperion]

The stars look like a receding red afro without the wand. SSE needs a haircut!

 

[NeedABreak]

Waiting to see SSE without the wand is killing me. Going to be like having an old friend back.

 

[the-reason14]

Wow, they are making progress fast. Anyone think SSE will be to its old wandless self in about a month?

I wasnt one that really hated the wand, it wasnt something that bothered me, and I must admit it is going to take a lot of getting used to to see it in its original state.
