As most of you probably know, when Epcot opened, each pavillion had an inauguration beginning with a very dated and wonderful performance of "We've Just Begun To Dream", as *cough* futuristic group of people in skin-tight, all-white and silver space-suits do some interesting interpretive dance before/after a ribbon cutting of each pavilion. And it. Is. INCREDIBLE.
Skip to about the one minute mark to see what I mean if you've never heard of this.
During a D23 Event in 2017 celebrating 35 Years of Epcot, long clips of these dancers were played, probably to gauge fan enthusiasm, and I think the crowd ate it up.
Maybe it's just my personal want to see this weird, wonderful ceremony brought back to EPCOT, but I would put strong money on the return of something like this during the opening of Cosmic Rewind, Play!, and the re-dedication of SSE. My predictions:
Cosmic Rewind: The Epcot Future World Dancers, in cooperation with Xandar, will begin a very hilarious re-creation of the original dance, but the party gets interrupted by the Guardians of the Galaxy themselves. They play some of their Awesome Mix tape and the dancers magically re-choreograph their moves on the spot to open the pavilion.
Play!: The Epcot Future World Dancers accompany the featured characters in a mash-up medley of "We've Just Begun To Dream" and the theme music from their respective movies (Try Everything, Incredibles Theme, etc.).
SSE - Our Shared Story: A relatively honest re-hash of the Epcot Future World Dancers doing "Tomorrow's Child" with the Voices of Liberty.
What do you think? It seems like a stunt that Disney could use to soften the blow of the character-centric new pavilions.
