[Cmdr_Crimson]

Happy 46th Anniversary Magic Kingdom, Contemporary & Polynesian Resorts, can’t have Epcot getting all the attention.

Welp...Epcot's 35th & WDW/MK Just started..Leaving us off with 2 more years of Anniversary events...
Animal Kingdom's 20th anniversary in 2018

I was hoping for some announcements today but I feel it would have been hinted at during that fountain ceremony.

Doubt will hear anything as the only thing visible to the change of Epcot right now is GoTG

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

They really missed an opportunity to use a part of Innoventions for at least another Epcot related Exhibit and a Blue Sky section since the other parts are blocked off doing nothing....Shame..

 

[onewish]

Can anyone confirm if they have sold out of the 35th anniversary bands?

I'm in the odyessy craft beer center and they're playing a retro version of the Magical fireworks theme song. I literally didn't know such a thing existed!!

Splashtacular! EPCOT Center's try at a Stage Spectacular at the Fountain Of Nations. Should have became an instant hit and stayed much, much longer! IDK why TDO has trouble with some things that come from TDL/OLC: Splashtacular, Cinderellabration, MK's OUAT not at the same level as TDL's.

I will admit that TDL's music worked very well in Dream Along With Mickey, Disney Dreams Come True Parade and its' Pre parade!

From one of the D23 Fanniversary panels, it's "The Landkeeper", the host of The Land pavilion in its early "Balloon ride through the ecosystem" concepts.

Not impressed by his "Fat Mark Twain wearing a Captain EO rainbow shirt" design, but hey, solves a mystery and it'll be something for @marni1971 to slot into his upcoming Land video.

Happy anniversary Epcot.

 

[marni1971]

I don’t know if @marni1971 is here, but he’d probably be happy to know that Tommorow’s Child is playing.

I got a shiver all morning. Not just from the rain!

He looks like Bob Keeshan aka Captain Kangaroo....

pretty sad waiting in line for the pop up store and snaking through what was once one of the coolest parts of epcot!

innovations will never be the same.

Epcot,
I know these last few years have been hard on you. But the Bobs have gotten their hands on you but you'll be ok. Epcot Center will always be with me. You are the light of my theme park life. My precious Epcot. My precious Star-Lord...I mean oops.

 

[trampdog]

My haul from this morning. I didn’t even come here for this but heck I was up at 4 AM from a loud service elevator. So I ubered over and dropped the rope with some really loud old guy cast member. I want to say is name was terry or something like that.

 

[brb1006]

Tony Baxter just walked right by me, omg!!!

@Figments Friend must be jealous.

 

[brb1006]

Maybe it was a teaser of IO replacement of Imagination? I hope to God not!

Unless it would be for Wonders Of Life... *sobs*

 

[brb1006]

Imagination is playing the original music loop

What a tease!

 

[brb1006]

And during the time they don't play it outside the pavilion....Just head over to the Imagination Bathrooms connected to the pavilion....The loop has never stopped playing since..

And the music where you meet Dreamfinder and Figment the first time is at the current version of Image Works to add more salt to the wound.

If anyone is in the park, now is a good time to head to the pop-up shop. The line isn't too long anymore and it actually moves. Not sure what is sold out though

 

[JohnD]

Could have bought the shirt last night from the app. Now all sizes sold out unsurprisingly.

 

[NearTheEars]

Well, we bailed early. I’m sure illuminations will be great, but our couch and a cold drink was calling us. Managed to get a hat from a stand. I’m sure it’s not an exclusive one from the pop up shop, but I liked it because it was sans figment and I only waited 5 minutes for it. Our shirts are coming next week probably as we ordered them on the app while waiting in line at the parking entrance. That was probably a good call.

It was definitely a bloggers who’s who there today. Even Mr. Lou fresh off his tour of Hong Kong, Tokyo and Shanghai. They were all up on the media platform, along with the real photojournalists.

Didn’t catch a glimpse of Bob or Tony, though I probably would have been just excited to stumble upon @marni1971. Saw a few tank tops, so maybe I did hehe.
