BIG rumor that the mega Sorcerer Mickey hat is coming down- look for an announcement later today.
Personally, good riddance- I love The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, but the mega hat is a huge eyesore that blocks the beautiful recreation of the TCL Theatre. Thoughts?
So, two questions: What weenie will they put in, and, arguably more importantly, should I suffer through Cap’n Jack–since we’ll be there 2 days before it’s gone–just so I can say I’ve experienced it? This is serious stuff.
Also, do you think anyone will chain themselves up to The Hat (or Cap’n Jack) by their MBs to protest?
I think the TCL Theatre is enough of a weenie- it’s a beautiful focal point that stands for the glamour of old school hollywood, which is nice considering that most attractions in the park are moving towards new-school CGI and animated films (which I have absolutely no problem with). Just sayin’!
Our trip is in 5 days (yippeeee!). Anybody know the status of the removal of the hat? I thought they already started tearing it down, but if anyone has some first hand knowledge, I’d like to manage expectations.
Communicore Weekly posted today, on Facebook, that the 7th was indeed the start date. I personally think they should rebuild it as the entrance to Fantasmic. Fits that theme very well and, although I’m kinda ashamed to say it, I like the hat. I thought it looked a little out of place in front of GMR but still, it is an icon.
DW doesn’t like change and she’s not happy about it going away. At all!!!
