Massive Power Outage Shuts Down Magic Kingdom as Walt Disney World’s Infrastructure Woes Continue

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the mounting issues plaguing Walt Disney World’s infrastructure. Hot on the heels of EPCOT’s sewage leaks and a ceiling collapse inside Soarin’ Around the World, Magic Kingdom suffered a widespread Disney power outage last night, shutting down more than 15 attractions across the park.

World Showcase vs. The Real World vs. Epcot’s Origins: A Study In Culture and Time By Lew Wasserman’s Ghost

On this week’s (1/16) T3PO Live show (now airing live every Thursday at 4 pm, so don’t miss it, thanks) we began with a discussion of the truly silly and inappropriate new “recycled material” costumes for the American Adventure’s “Voices Of Liberty” acapella singers…and then meandered into EPCOT and particularly World Showcase in general when one of the chatters asked us (Vash, Joshua, Nolan, Erika, Ron and I) about the potential for new countries joining the circle around the lagoon. Joshua shared a map that shows room for about DOUBLE the number there now. Complexity ensued, and I have some thoughts to share, deep or otherwise.
