I can appreciate that they at least still send something now (I just recieved an envelope with the usual luggage tags), but dang!
Tough to think about how things used to be
I know this has been talked about plenty of times, but I think the way Disney used to help build the excitement of a resort vacation was something that made a trip to Walt Disney World so special and separated it from other destinations
It probably wasn’t cost effective idea, but Disney mailing a box with *free* magic bands about a month before a trip was one of the most epic experiences and core memories back in the day
Although, I didn't know Eddie Sotto too well, the personable interactions he shared via social / interviews gave you a peek behind his Walt Disney Imagineer title. I am grateful to have met him in person. He left a deep impression with me and will be greatly missed by many.
We are sad to learn about the passing of former Imagineer Eddie Sotto. He led the design of Main Street for Disneyland Paris and the master planning for Tokyo Disneyland, among many other projects.
