If this happened at Mission: Space, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Spaceship Earth not Mission Space
It was not at mission space
Did I say it happened at Mission: Space? No.
I said “IF,” I never said it did happen at Mission: Space.
Hey, I have the right to voice my opinion. At the time of writing this reply to my comment, 8 people are right now invading my rights. My grandmother passed away in March of 2017 from breast cancer. I still miss her, it’s just a part of life.
How is anyone invading your rights? You voiced your opinion and they voiced theirs. They have the same rights as you to do, and them having free speech rights in no way takes away your right to free speech. You posted a comment, people disagreed. If you think that violates your rights, you are a fool.
Let’s all be sure to keep this gentleman’s family in our prayers. Such a tragic loss.
he died of broken heart upon seeing how walt disney company changed his favorite theme park epcot to wallcot.
Well, I think the majority of us over 35 have stepped off Mission Space and said…never again, but then like idiots, we go back EVERY time.
Why are you even reporting on this….?
A person passed away in a Disney theme park, we are a Disney theme park news website.
This is news about a thing that happened at Walt Disney World.If you’re expecting WDW News Today to only report on happy things, you must be new. It’s sad as heck, and I feel for the family, but it IS WDW news.
I again send my condolences to the family. Absolutely heartbreaking.
