Hat Trick

If the news over at the always excellent WDWMagic is true, the ugly sorcerer's hat is on its way out in early 2015. This will restore the incredibly beautiful view the Imagineers designed for the Disney-MGM Studios when it debuted in 1989.

If you want to read more about the history of this park and see tons of photos of it at opening, and even more concept art, be sure to go to this piece which celebrates its 25th year. Incredible stuff.

It's An Earful

Walt Disney World has a pretty cool logo / poster to celebrate the New Year 2013. Take a close look at the image above, and what do you see? As expected, four icons representing each of the parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. What you don't see- the awful Sorcerer Mickey Hat, with the Earful Tower taking its place. Hope its a sign of things to come!
