The rededication ceremony just wrapped up with many Disney-style elements. Cast members representing all the Future World and World Showcase pavilions paraded about, and Disney execs talked about living the dream.
The main speaker was longtime Imagineer Marty Sklar. “Today on Oct. 1, 2007, we re-dedicste Epcot and ourselves to a new future that begins now,” he said.
He also quoted Walt Disney himself: “You can educate people, but don't tell people you're doing it.”
Also included was a pouring of water ceremony with H2O from the nations. America's was from the Mississippi, but Italy brought water “from the Pope.” Top that!
