WDW 35th and Epcot 25th Rumors

Wasn't there some sort of thing when you bought the legacy things that they'll be displayed for a minimum number of years? I don't think they can just get rid of them. They'd probably get away with shifting them around the park, though.

Weren't they considering moving them to Downtown Disney? Or is that just wishful thinking?

Maybe they'll open up a cemetery...er...memorial...er...lot where they can display them, then bus people out to the lot so they can see their epitaphs...er...engravings.

Or they would make the perfect entrance to an "extinct attractions park" if Disney ever opens a fifth gate, with a big cement Horizons headstone at the end. "Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday." period. lol

(Excuse me if these comments are morbidly out of taste, I've been cutting out styro-foam halloween gravstones all day

)

edit: wouldn't it be cool if Disney had a cemetary full of headstones for extinct attractions? I know Ben and Jerry's has a cemetery for retired ice-cream flavors. Move over pet cemetery... Mr. Toad is only the begining...

Yeah, it specified a number of years when we got ours but I don't remember how long it was. I do remember it said "will remain on display" rather than "will remain on display in the same location" though, so there's definitely a loophole open to move them.

I still have a modicum of respect for the design of it since it was all done by John Hench, but (even owning two tiles, though we only paid for one), I'd have no complaints if they wanted to do away with them at this point. I'm sure there are, as yodiwan said, a lot of people who paid for 'em that wouldn't agree with me there though.

I can't find the other 25 years post for EPCOT, so I'll just use this one. I would highly recommend to anyone who loved the original EPCOT to check out the display in Innoventions (it's tucked away in the section as close to Imagination as possible). It's so fun and there's a miniature Dream Machine and they're playing all the music from over the years.

I wonder if they didn't have a big celebration because so much has changed in EPCOT (I can hardly think of anything that's stayed the same since opening day) and they didn't want to remind us how much we loved some of those old favorites.
