Maybe they'll stop for Flower Power, but not that many stop for the Living Statues, British Invasion, Jugglers, tumblers etc. We were there the week after Sept 11th. Noon time and we practically had WS to ourselves. We were walking around Italy, and the Masquerade troup came out, they performed only for the 5 of us, and one gdaugher was asleep. Talk about feeling special. At the same time I felt so bad for the performers to have only us to put on the show for. << I go during the value season in January Bobbelee, and the performers always get large crowds. So large that I couldn't even imagine more people during peak season. There just isn't that much room to watch them. When the very limited entertainment took place this year there was always a big crowd. I know the living statues are gone as well as the Krystos as well as so many other entertaining things. I don't know about the Masquerade troupe. I never saw them this last trip The only street performers I saw this trip were the Chineses Acrobats, MoRockin, the Bristish Invasion, The Japanese Drummers, and Off Kilter.

Let's just say that John Hench's name is attached to those monoliths, for arguments sake.

I am so glad I don't hardly ever enter EPCOT from the main entrance because what they've done is truly hideous. <<Let's just say that John Hench's name is attached to those monoliths, for arguments sake.>> Hench did work on the project, but I have never been able to find out if it was truly built as he envisioned. If so, the man had one big lapse when he was approaching 90, so I'll excuse it after a lifetime of greatness. >> Nope. I'm going to do even better ... not say a word ...

Oh ... and as always ... ~Pass the Pixie Dust~

And I don't think HATE is too strong of a word to describe my feelings towards them. Definitely NOT the feeling one should have walking into anyones vision of FUTURE, even if it is a theme park.
