More than just their movement has been heard, and Disney listened to all EPCOT fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-35640908535359755082007-09-06T10:20:00.000-04:002007-09-06T10:20:00.000-04:002007-09-06T10:20:00.000-04:00This is great news Jeff. I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish they'd devote more than a day long aknowledgement but at this point I guess it's the best we can hope for and we should be greatful for that. I couldn't help but be reminded of all the hoopla of Disneyland's 35th Anniversary - certainly a less memorable milestone than 25 if you ask me. But nevertheless Disney really turned out for that celebration with their Mardi Gras parade and (who can forget?) the 35th Anniversary Dream Machine. Thanks for paying homage and taking a stand for this 25th anniversary. The Disney community appreciates it. I encourage you to check out the Re-imagineering blog - I think it has some really invaluable and heartfelt words about the direction of the Disney company.

As always, your posts are insightful, well-written, and clearly to the point. You, Lou, Adam, Jenn, and everyone involved, I believe, have made this happen.

And take credit where it is due for (IMHO) igniting that "one little spark" that got this grass-roots movement going, and in turn, I believe prompted Disney to take notice, and "Acknowledge the Legacy."

This is what I love about Disney and its fans, something you don't see with Six Flags or Universal. Like it or not Disney, we fans are here and we cherish what you have created. I like that they chose to stand with us on the 1st instead of look at us from the shadows.<BR/><BR/>The committment they have shown indicates that perhaps their perspective on Epcot has changed. Perhaps characters and Nemo aren't the only answer, but just part of the answer. Perhaps a return to the old ideals of Epcot would not be such a bad thing, if properly done.linklewtthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12016060421541242793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-27946649580274939402007-09-05T11:58:00.000-04:002007-09-05T11:58:00.000-04:002007-09-05T11:58:00.000-04:00Hey, if all you accomplished was getting that lame Mickey arm and wand removed from next to Spaceship Earth, it would still be well worth the effort. The other stuff is icing on the cake.
