| gee, if you paid $35 for admission, you maybe should have visited this
notesfile first!
I've always commented on the advertisements. But if you look beyond
the advs, there's a perfect teaching envirmonment going on. The kids
are being entertained, but learning a lot in the process.
I don't care if its GM or EXXON. I still buy from Mobil and drive a
Ford. perhaps the price of admission is lower buy them having a
chance.
boring, nay. I've been on the spaceship earth ride a couple dozen
times now. I bedt I see someting new each time.
And while I hate the EXXON commericail, I love the sound system in that
building! and although metropolating insurance sponcers bodyworks, I
haven't seen anyone trying to sell insurance to me while I was there.
If I every get bored in WDW, you can send my dead body to the cemetary.

| 353.2 | EPCOT's Charter | WREATH::SCOPA | | Mon Jul 19 1993 09:14 | 14 |
| If the original plans for EPCOT had been followed through we'd be
talking REAL BORING.
EPCOT's place/role/charter in the WDW complex is designed to serve the
age groups far different from TMK. Many adults I've talked to put EPCOT
at the top of their list.
I don't even notice the commercials any more. The only real problem I
have is with Norwegian Airlines in The Maelstrom. I get off the boat
and shoot right through that little theater. If ya gonna give me a
commercial than ya better entertain me at the same time 'cause I value
my time down there and I'm not about to waste precious time.

| 353.3 | Desperately Needs Updating | MAYES::GIBSON | | Mon Jul 19 1993 09:58 | 20 |
| My objection to EPCOT is that the information offered in Future World
is so out of date. The technology and presentation are great, but the
information is stale.
This past June we decided to go to three pavilions that we had not
visited on previous trips (Living Seas, Land, and Wonders of Life).
My husband was reluctant, but I insisted that we give the park another
chance. In all three cases we were encouraged by the approach at the
beginning of the exhibit, heard things we already knew, were anxious
to know more, and we were left hanging. Some of the stuff presented
as a future possibility has been reality for years.
There were two more pavilions that I originally wanted to revisit,
but we left the park instead. We'll have a hard time convincing
ourselves to go back (other than for dinner) unless there is a
major overhaul.

| I feel Epcot is worth the time and find it a more relaxing pace in
spite of all the walking. A whole lot of people must hold the feelings
of the base noter though as a cast member told us on our visit a few
weeks ago that they are already $3mil behind for the year. Guess thats
not much for them but they are looking into more action to spruce it
up.

| 353.5 | Westcot breeds Epcot upgrade? | PHDVAX::JMCGLINCHEY | | Tue Jul 20 1993 20:52 | 9 |
| I think the Westcot idea has alot of merit, if they do it wisely. Yes,
most of EPCOT FutureWorld is outdated. Face it, it was designed in the
'70's, before the "Eisner Era" and needs a facelift. Maybe the Westcot
Center will be the first step towards an overall upgrade to Epcot?
Let's hope!
