Now, the word has it the slabs have to remain for the paying customers, but atleast there wont be any more of those dreadful things.
Originally Posted By ChiMike Yes, I was very happy upon hearing the news that the tacky sales station is being removed. I don't think we were ever in danger of getting anymore of the dreadful things and I do hope that now that sales have dwindled they will at least reposition them and open up the entrance plaza.

Originally Posted By ChiMike Well, I think folks' hopes are up because of the timing with the SSE refurb and the wand removal.
Originally Posted By MPierce I agree, but folks here in the know haven't mentioned the removal of the LaL stones. That's when I'll be excited. I wonder if we have to sacrafice another pavilion to have the stones relocated?
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 I doubt the stones will be removed. But I think there will be some reworking in the area. And they do have to display them ... where is anyone's guess. I bought a stone in 1994 (a few months after they started selling them). Supposedly, they had to display them in a public area for 10 years. Well, I haven't been able to find my stone since at least 2000 ... I know it's been moved, but at this point I don't care ... I've also grown smarter and regret the purchase anyway.

Originally Posted By mickey_ring The Mouse could call it "Move a Legacy". The Entrance area is a good location. Maybe outside the gates so a guest don't feel obligated to pay to see 'em. My wife and I got one years ago when we had extra $$ before kids. It's been a long time since there was a cast member at the locator computer to help find it.
Originally Posted By DVC_dad I always wanted to do this but never really got around to it. I recent years I sort of noticed that the whole thing didn't "take" like it was thought that it would, or at least that is my perception. So, alas, I never did it. I am glad I didn't now that the whole thing sort of sucks.
Originally Posted By CMDad <<I should clarify that I bought a BRICK near the MK entrance>> So it is not just me then? We also bought a paving stone and it was located at the edge of the path between the ferry and the entrance. A number of years back (at least 7) many of those pavers were removed for the work on the bus roadway, and supposedly all were put back ... I have never found my paving stone since then!
