Seriously, it's time we just got this all out in the open. I'm sick of all this dancing around the topic. :shrug:

If the hammer comes down on the wand threads will they break, or is the wand mightier than the hammer?
I dunno, but the Pen Is Mightier can be ordered after 3 a.m. if you find the right infomercial.

I'm not trying to sound negative but do we honestly need another wand thread? I did a search for threads with "wand" and there are 500 threads now. Isn't that enough to discuss a stupid piece of metal that is soon to be gone anyway? I'm just sick of signing on and seeing "Wand this and Wand that" everywhere. Please tell me there's something better to discuss pertaining to WDW at the present time.

My thoughts? On the wand? Okay...
Did the design of the wand, hand, and word "Epcot" really fit with the inspiring design of the geodesic sphere? Eh, not really.
Did it help identify the park to hundreds of thousands of people who were first time visitors to the park and really don't understand all the conflict about the wand? Yep.
Did it take away from the vision of EPCOT Center? No, for the true EPCOT as Walt envisioned was never built. Sorry, but it wasn't.
Will the sun still rise, the flowers bloom, and the birds sing when the wand is down? Yes, and the sun rose, the flowers bloomed, and the birds sang all the years the wand was up, too. Get the point?
Is it worth getting your knickers in a knot either way? No.
Final thought: love, peace, and rocky road ice cream.

I thought it was a visual extravganza, as much spectacle and colour as the state opening of parliament.
Im sure Elton John would like it too.

This is so true! I don't know if I would have liked the idea of Epcot or EPCOT being built (it would seem like a waste of money), but it was a risk, and now it's my favorite park!
Yes, in the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room.

it is a well documented rumor that the money being spent to take down the wand had previously been budgeted to provide each animatronic a squirt of grease, a costume cleaning, and an hour with Lucky (not necessarily in that order). Now, they will all have to go without, and for what? The humanity!

water rusts steel, but runs smoothly off SSE, though the wand did act like an umbrella.
I think Wandy is probably one of the Astros most talented up and coming pitchers....
