Blast from the Past: Disney Millennium Celebration Page Still up, and a related question

[KingdomKeeper]

Hey everyone,
I have an intense interest in the Millennium Celebration, especially at EPCOT (I miss you Tapestry of Nations ), that I can't really fully understand myself. But anyway, earlier today I was looking up some random information about it and associated merchandise/pins...and happened upon this gem: http://disney.go.com/disneyworld/disney2000/moremagic.html . Now, its a basically dead page that doesn't lead to anything, but found it funny that it still has survived. Man does it look dated. The thing that caught my interest is that it mentions a "Walt Disney World Millennium Show in Rio de Janeiro". All that I can find online about the show is the page I found and the webpages of two guys who worked on it. Does anyone know of any video that exists of this show? Thanks!

P.S. This seemed the most appropriate place to place this thread, although if it isn't, I apologize.

I wish they would bring back tapestry for a spontaneous celebration.

Wow, 2000! First time I stayed on site. They did such a great job with the celebration -- and it felt so fitting that the celebration of the year 2000 should have lasted a year. It didn't feel like some giant marketing piece to me. The millenium village was a great idea. A chance for small countries to get a little exposure at EPCOT. I remember drinking Eritrean coffee -- they had only just won their independence from Ethiopia.

Thanks for posting that.

That's for sharing the site. This was my first trip to WDW!

It would be cool if the Millenium Village came back again it was really cool, and I was only able to go through once.

I remember the music that used to play on that site! Wish it was still active :-(

Awesome!

My favorite thing in all of Disney World history will always be Tapestry. I miss it SO much!

If this came back, it would be one of my "regular" attractions (to see each trip).

Would love for the cake to reappear! There has been a discussion in another thread about the cake...the love and hate for it

That's nothing. I'm waiting for the birthday cake castle merchandise to make a return.

You might want to check out the archive.org version of this site. They have a lot of the site content still available. I found a flash game that was still works. Most of the content requires quicktime, which I don't have installed.

I meant the music that played in the background as you surfed the site.
