If you're really masochistic, google "Kim Possible" "Epcot Central" and you'll come across gems like this --
"Not only does Kim Possible have absolutely no connection to Epcot and its themes, the character is usurping what was once one of EPCOT Center’s most celebrated areas, the ImageWorks. Rather than upgrade the area and put some genuinely new and exciting thought and imagination into it, Disney’s marketers took over and figured it would be a good place for a standard character meet-and-greet; it’s almost certain that you’ll see signs and brochures for the Disney Channel throughout the pavilion once Kim Possible arrives, bringing more crass commercialism into the parks."
and this...
"This is a terrible idea - Kim Possible? A cartoon that will be completely forgotten in 5 years... awesome job, Disney!"
I stumbled on this when I was first looking to see if there was any feedback on the Team Possible test. There be some major Kim hatin' over there. Of course, all his assumptions were wrong, but hey. it's the internet.

That person's comments reminds me of Ron's quote in 'Pain King vs Cleopatra' : Ron: "Cleopatra! Like anybody's gonna remember her ten years from now! Hah!"

Granted, I haven't been to Disney World or Epcot in years (try 1989), but I thought Epcot had like this whole "global" thing going on. Global and technology thing, anyhow. Sweet tech and travelling around the world... sounds pretty Kim-like to me.

The 'hater' seems to be snarking more about commercialism than anything else. He obviously misses the Imagination Pavilion in its original glory.
I remember when EPCOT opened. That Pavillion was far and away the best one at that time. Over the years it's either been left behind when other areas advanced or gone downhill as technological advancements and/or lack of maintenance wore it down. I do miss that place too. Yet I can't think of any existing Disney property more appropriate to take the space over. Kim's globe trotting and tolerance does make EPCOT the place for her. Kim is the result of wild, imaginitive ideas, and tends to spark the viewer's imagination (That's why I'm here!).
I think Kim coming to that pavillion is like returning magic to it again. The 'hater' seems like only a new and original retrofit of that pavillion would please him. I wonder if he even knows Kim.
I also love that the adventure is free with the understanding that the Kimmunicator is a loan.

Haha. The Kimmunicator is a loan. What if you decided to take it home?

Let's just say there is a map, and you are a dot. Perhaps not a "manly dot" but between their ability to track and the fact that they have a swipe of your credit card or room key, I don't think it would be a good idea.
So far they were quite pleased that they haven't lost any phones or had any damaged, at least as of last Friday.

Haha. Okay, then. I'll just take a picture instead of taking one home.

The tourists usually treat the park stuff very well (with exception to the random fallen food), now if it was 6 flags, you'd run out of phones by 12 in the afternoon. The crowds drawn into Disney are nice and caring people, the kind that are really hard to find.

Plus, who's not going to treat a Kimmunicator with the respect and care it deserves?

I mean, knowing me and how I feel about the show. I'd prolly bow down to the Kimmunicator first saying something to the effect of "What's the Sitch?" like I was in church or something.
