Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer They can do that sometimes. Which one was it? The ones on the East side of the lagoon are glitchy. Yeah, I know the show that well....

So as you probably know, I don't collect vinylmations. So I was in mouse gear and saw that they had an EPCOT one. Thinking to myself, "Hey, pretty nifty thing to add to the collection, right?" Well I make a selection from hundreds of boxes and the cashier says would you like to open it? So I do. What do you know, out pops the EPCOT one Haha, now you can't tell me, EE, that you wouldn't have been excited if that happened to youSo that was probably the best day of the vacation cause I got the new retro tshirt, the vinylmation, and closed out the day with fish and chips, followed by an iced coffee watching RoE
Originally Posted By WDW Imagineer So here's trip report number two: ToT is really kool with the changes. Only i could have done without the stars. "Paging Mr. Morrow" is now back at the TTA. This was one of the best things that happened on the trip. Bad show all around toontown. It seemed like all of the cm's didn't even want to be there. There was this one girl, however, showing guests around and doing an all-out wonderful job. As I passed her I said, "good show." She looked at me as if I was a ghost. Who knows what she thought Cm's at Epcot are probably the best on the property. They all love thier jobs. VERY good show on GMR. This may sound mean, but there were alot of foriegners who were working some of the shows, One Man's Dream being a good example, where I just couldn't understand what they were saying. This one CM even started to speak his native language.And I think half of Brazil was on vacation to WDW. Many were very nice, but many were very rude. I later found out from a cm that Disney is paying some Brazillians to come to Disney for free in order to promote the parks to Brazil. But there were many good things about this trip. Cirque du Soleil left me amazed, the new Updates in F! were awesome, and I really enjoyed Nightastic. Crowd levels were crazy low. Nothing above a 50 minute wait. Overall, great trip. More to come if I remember anything else

This isn't the first time I have heard that, and it fits some nice rumors.

Building so many parks will have a negative effect eventually.
Originally Posted By WDW Imagineer >>>Lucky....That's one of the ones I am hunting!<<< The funny thing is, I don't even collect them A few other things I should mention: AA is still the BEST attraction on the property. Mexican renovations are starting to look really good. The FLE is going to be HUGE. Saw all the land they cleared from Dumbo, and it's ALOT. Space Mountain changes are really good as well. And, MSEP=best change since my last visit, althoug I hate admitting that

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>>If they do that, they're going to lose plenty of WDW business. Building so many parks will have a negative effect eventually.<<< I agree, but I don't think the decline in WDW will be TOO severe. ...I would like to get rid of the tour groups, anyway. Heh.

Originally Posted By WDW Imagineer ^^^agreed, they are big, but would taking the promotions away REALLY make a difference?
