I remember reading about the program when it first started and thought it might be neat to have your face @ WDW. The first time I went after it opened it actually made me sad. I never occured to me that they would display them in such an unattractive manner. There are 2 things I always take pics of when I'm down, the Castle & SSE(my husband teases me of course). When I look back @ my pics pre LaL it reminds me how intrusive and disruptive the stones are. There is no flow they just don't fit the themeing. Anyway we can only hope they will find a new home where those that enjoy them still can and those that don't won't have too.

Their look has never bothered me, as I have my eyes up on Spaceship Earth and points beyond.

At that point I would be very SAD that I didn't get my family picture into the Legacy digital primoridal soup.

Originally Posted By ssWEDguy How about this? Remove some of the stones in the center, main entrance area. Then reposition all the stainless steel image panels on stones that will remain on the edges, more underneath the monorail beams? That main Epcot entrance area is so huge, the edges are seldom used. A BONUS -- Stones remaining on the sides would help mask the forest of purple strollers that are stored onstage on the left side of the entrance plaza. ANOTHER BONUS -- Since the stones left on the edges would be the taller ones, there would be less opportunity for kids to climb on top of the lower ones that wouldn't be there anymore. ANOTHER BONUS -- The smaller, removed stones could be bought on e-Bay. You could make counter tops out of them.

The stones are placed and jutted at an angle to make it appear as if SSE is floating above them, or grew out of them; they are mimiced on the legs supporting SSE. <a href="http://image55.webshots.com/55/2/57/76/445925776sFZPli_fs.jpg" target="_blank">http://image55.webshots.com/55 /2/57/76/445925776sFZPli_fs.jpg</a>
