I almost had a source from the boyfriend of my cousin who is twice removed from from my mother's side but they made him sign a waiver of confidentiality. What is more they gave him an A-1 Rifle and told him to waive it at anyone who started asking questions. JK, I have heard some stuff, not too detailed from people who said they got picked to test it. They didn't say too much just that there was lots of interactive computers but they didn't say what the computers did.

It's hard for me to figure out where I am. Thanks.

Wow, so my first trip to WDW and my 11th will have something in common - no SSE! (Did MK only in 87). Ah, well, I know I'll be back sometime after the refurb is done and I'll get to see the refreshed SSE.

I wonder if we started a petition on this site to have the wand removed if it would influence management to do so. I fear it's either now or never for the wands demise. It was a novelty (which I never cared for) for Y2K, but now it's just an eyesore.
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 ^^No, it wouldn't. Management doesn't care. But if you feel strongly, it might be good to let Epcot's new VP know via email, letter direct to him or phone call.
