Earful Tower… What’s Next? Could It Be Heading To Disney Springs?

The Earful Tower as it has been lovingly named by the cast members at Walt Disney World, has long been “the icon” of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, when it was MGM-Studios the water tower was in all of the Walt Disney World marketing. In 2003, the Sorcerers Hat assumed the role of park icon. Last week Imagineering announced the has would be leaving Disney’s Hollywood Studios in order for the land it sits on to become the future home of Star Wars and Toy Story lands.

This leaves us ever questioning Disney fans to wonder where will the water tower go? Most fans believe and speculate that it would make the move to the Disney Springs area in Walt Disney World.

Imagineering has been known to recycle things and concept art has shown that Disney Springs has a water tower. Putting the water tower at Disney Springs with a new spiffy paint job would certainly add a bit of “Disney” to the Disney Springs area. Although we see the addition as a good thing the tower with ears does not seem to fit the new theme of Disney Springs. What I can see happening is that the earful tower will move to Disney Springs, but without the ears and a new older looking paint job.

As a stretch we can speculate whether or not the tower will be a water tower or not. My guess says it probably will be. But a nice high open space for panoramic views for the beautiful new area would also be very neat and unique.

Another thought could be seeing the tower moved to Shanghai Disneyland’s Main Street which seems to be a Toontown Spin on what we know as the thoughtful replication for Walt’s American Dream.

No matter what the case, we will all remember the Earful Tower

What do you guys think? Will we see the tower again in Disney Springs? Will it move to Shanghai Disneyland ?
