Wow, I agree with that, especially with the maps themselves being presented by Kodak (see earlier posts).

I was there for the first M. Sklar appearance and it was great. Not sure which one you went to but if it was the first, what the heck was up with the dumb questions?! I mean, who asks Marty Sklar "When is Test Track re-opening"? Really? Its Marty Sklar, and you're asking him about test track? I thought his presentation was great, but was disappointed at the waste of questions like that, and really wanted an autograph.
We waited in both lines, Pin Station, and Mouse Gear, and were able to get a complete set of the mystery pins, both passholder pins, shirts, and the LE SpaceShip Earth etched glass artwork.

I still think the 2008 American Pyrotechnics associations 60th anniversary fireworks show called Welcome to Our World on Seven Seas lagoon...Is still The MOST INTENSE FIREWORKS SHOW EVER!!!

They can throw Kodak under the bus for changing the ride over a decade ago, but they don't have anyone to blame but themselves for the current state of it. Not having a sponsor shouldn't be a valid excuse anymore.

Retro music was playing after the fireworks celebration until the exit of the park
Welcome to Our World was in a whole different league to anything ever shown at WDW.

True it would truly be a good way to say goodnight at the resort...And the guest staying on the lagoon resorts probably had the best views.

I was sitting in front of the guy that asked that question but honestly he appeared he had some sort of disability. His mom was telling him to sit down, so that could be the lack of knowledge of who Marty was. :/

We are at dtd today and a few employees saw our 30th button on the stroller and asked how we enjoyed it. According to them, they heard it at dtd.

We spent the whole day at EPCOT yesterday, were there from opening to closing
Perhaps one of the best parts of the day was getting to chat with some CMs as we staked our claim on a space to watch Illuminations at 6:30pm. They were fantastic, and were just as excited as us to be there for the celebration. Not to forget to mention they really love their parks (MK and EPCOT), and Disney as much as I do.
The finale was, as everyone else has said, simply awesome. It was overwhelming and left us feeling like maybe, just maybe, they're starting to remember that EPCOT deserves so much more attention. So here's to hoping the next 30 years return and then expand some of the magic that's been lost along the journey

I assume there was a discussion thread on "Welcome To Our World"?

There was, as there were two other shows at Downtown and Fort Wilderness as part of the APA's 60th that led up to the Welcome To Our World show.

Does anyone know if the mystery box pins were Limited Edition? I only got 4 unique ones (Horizons/Seas/SSE/Energy) with 2 doubles of Energy and Horizons.

Kinda hot? SWMBO and I took off before lunch to spend some time at Stormalong Bay - MUCH cooler in the pool!
Funny story about that...it rained a couple of times when we were being lazy in the lazy river...so, what did we do? Well....we swam under one of the bridges until the rain quit. Mind you, we were swimming, not floating on rafts. Yeah....we're strange....
