Well, I don't have kids so I'm certainly no authority, but I'm pretty sure parents are supposed to tell their kids to find the nearest Cast Member if the parents get lost.

Well, there really isn't just one "right" thing to tell kids on that topic. Kids are all different and need different strategies for stuff.
Regardless, the hat going away will not suddenly result in hoards of panicked children running around wringing their hands and yelling "Where is the Chinese theater???"

And it wasn't like you could see the hat from every single place in the park anyway.
In re: to Scar's query, our MO was to tell our kids that if they were lost, to just stay put and to look for a cast member from where they were. We did "lose" one of our kids (long story) and a cast member found him before he even had the chance to decide what to do.
For bigger kids who know the park, meeting at a specific spot might make more sense. A 12-year-old might be more comfortable finding the meeting spot than looking for a CM.
By the time my kids were teenagers, they were more likely to try to "lose" their parents on purpose.

Who wants to write the obit for the hat as it should start coming down next week?
I have just a one word obit: ADIOS!

TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

.....I loved the hat.
.....it was a great impromptu shelter when a t-storm hit ...or when the day's sun was just a bit too strong.
....what will people do now to seek shelter... go into a store?
....OH!!! ...Wait a minute!! Now I see why it's being removed.........

But where will I go to buy a hat inside of a hat now?
I like to pretend there's a secret junkyard where the hat, the wand and the birthday cake inflatables from the 25th are all sitting and rusting like an old Las Vegas sign.

I'm surprised that they haven't thought of that yet, especially since they would be able to charge admission.

No strong feelings on the hat here.... but I really hope it doesn't become Star Wars-Pixar only. I think it'd become dated...like now. lol.
If they try to make it more uniform with California Adventure that would be okay tho!
