New EPCOT Lounge in Spaceship Earth Changes Course to Exclude Families as Walt Disney World Continues to Court ‘DINK’ Disney Adults

It seems like Disney is once again turning its back on the families who built its empire in favor of the DINK (Dual Income No Kids) crowd and so-called Disney Adults. The latest evidence? EPCOT’s brand-new GEO-82 Spaceship Earth lounge, which is making headlines not for family-friendly offerings, but for being an exclusive, adults-only experience.

First, Do No Harm—The Bare Minimum Oath All Disney Imagineers SHOULD Take But No Longer Do, An Editorial by LW Ghost

I’ve spent the last hour or so listening to some wonderful music from the past—not the Mozart kind of past, but the EPCOT past, and it made me think more than just warm, nostalgic, and happy thoughts of good times back in those yester-decades called the 1980’s which, I know, many of you were not blessed to be around in.

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.
