Oh no, a bad sign. The EPCOT presentation is Disney World ambassadors. That typically means light presentation.

Still no sign of Zach Riddley.

 

[IanDLBZF]

Still no sign of Zach Riddley.

At least Epcot's VP is in attendance.

 

[disneylandtour]

Still no sign of Zach Riddley.

And one of these people is an operations exec. I think the highpoint of the day is now behind us.

 

[kevlightyear]

Yeah, I wouldn't expect much more than some extra details.

Marty Sklar archive coming in hot in stage right now…..

These storyboards below were for the famous ‘Epcot film’ Uncle Walt was in.
They are showing us the entire thing…
Marty kept everything, they tell us.
Time for another book!!

P.s., when have Epcot fans been referred to as ‘Epcotians’….?


Marty notes, stressing some goals in mind for EPCOT Center.

"Concrete is just trying to be what it is." This doesn't look well rehearsed.

Cosmic Rewind.

Handwritten notes from Marty Sklar from the archives.

Interesting some of the things that are not that far away which were still not mentioned today.

Josh better tighten up his pants!

But of course it’s laughable to think Josh will be affiliated with Disney in a year or two.

He’s the next to go. Better lock himself in bobs shower the next day the stock drops 5%

Astounding that Disney will retheme or alter any show or ride on property except the ones people have been begging for years to get updated (Carousel of Progress, Imagination, the stale BatB show at DHS etc).

You noticed that?

Looks like after October 16 it's going to be a long time before a new build attraction opens at WDW.

I’d say from the looks of it the clock has already been ticking since the spring

Anything actually happening worth mentioning?

D23 next year for the parks could be WAY better than the last one.

Y'all I don't care about Epcot because I'm from LA. I'm just responding to that guy's asinine comments about IJA with equally asinine comments about Epcot.

1. I’ve been to Disneyland several times. I like it. So I have an opinion or two on it.
2. So you went to Epcot when? Were you born with someone named “bush” in the Whitehouse?
3. IJA is a ride. A nice ride. They should keep it. But has zero effect on the needs of wdw. None. If they bother to do it…you know? After Harrison ford’s funeral

Cool!

Like what?

 

[flyerjab]

Cool!

Like what?

Please note crafty use of the word ‘could’ in that sentence.

@marni1971 -
Do you have this photo?

They just showed this now at Destination D.
Marty Sklar’s photo of the moment WED put the Future World model with the World Showcase model.
Rather historic..l
They said during the presentation it has never been shown before, so I snapped this photo while sitting in the panel.

Thought you would enjoy seeing this!

This just in - Soarin' Over California coming back to Epcot starting 9/22!

 

[DCBaker]

Soarin' Over California coming back starting September 22.

 

[Figments Friend]

Nice…
The original ‘Soarin Over California’ film is coming back to Epcot. Starting September 22.

The original film is far better then the replacement in my opinion,
Better score, too.
Go Jerry!
