Really the only things worth celebrating about Epcot is that they haven't yet bulldozed Spaceship Earth to replace it with a sorcerers hat and they sell beer so at least you can get drunk enough to forget about the irreparable damage they have done over the years to cheapen the park and draw it away from it's founding principles.

I still have a lot of love for Epcot, which I first visited in March 1983. I realize that some of the shows will eventually run their course (the world's view of energy today is certainly different than 35 years ago). But I'd take Horizons back in a heartbeat, along with the original Imaginations pavilion. What bothers me most is the dumb choices made over the years (graveyard and new paint on Innoventions, to name two). More IP may be inevitable, but please use the IP in furtherance of the Epcot story and not just as an opportunity to re-tell an IP story in a different venue (like Nemo at The Living Seas). I'm sure Nemo could tell us a lot about the sea, and we can go watch his movie to learn more about him.

2 4K laser projectors in lieu of 70mm for the show's film elements?

Do you know of any updates to the finale film? I just watched your tribute video, and it looked like the most recent historical moments featured were about 9/11, and that was 16 years ago.
The 1993 film was re edited in 2007.

One change you can bet on is the final montage. Famous liar and cheater, Lance Armstrong, won't be in the film any longer.

I should have clarified the question lol. Anything from the past 10 years? Since we're losing Obama's inauguration speech from HoP, I was hoping Disney would add a 2 second clip of his family walking down Penn avenue from 2008. I'd also accept the Cubs breaking their 108 year curse and winning the World Series last year (even though that still hurts to admit as a Cleveland fan).
If you have the chance, watch HBO's 'Tour de Pharmacy'. Lance Armstrong has one of the funniest cameos I've seen in a long time.
Interesting tidbit about that...a study found the drug that got Lance stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles doesn't work.

That was one of the funniest films I have seen in recent memory.

I've heard Dreamfinder and Space Mickey may be doing meet and greets. Not sure if true. Take it with a grain of salt.

Where pray tell did you dig that nugget up from?

A friend told me that it's a possibility. He seemed pretty sure...i just don't know though. I don't see them going out of their way.

Yeah, Dreamfinder is simply not an option - he heard incorrectly. And Mission Space Mickey is still around, but the Rainbow suit is not.

On our last trip, I thought the Golden Dreams sequence projection quality was decent. Everything before it (e.g. picture stills, projected backgrounds, etc) looked pretty rough though. Any idea why the difference?
That I don't know. Unless it's the age and technique of the re edited finale vs the rest of the projection.

Why wouldn't Dreamfinder be an option? They obviously don't have any trouble putting a costume together, like they did for Destination D in 2011 and the D23 Expo in 2013.
