What? You mean not everyone will get to see the 30th anniversary tag for IllumiNations?

Everyone that sees Illuminations will see the tag.
Only cast and D23 members get access to the panels.

Super lame that those panels are cast only, but I'll definitely be happy with everything else.

I'm so excited. Especially for the panels and Illuminations tag.

I think it is really cool that it is Cast only for the panels. Love it when CMs get some perks.

That's what I was thinking. I have four friends all headed for Epcot that day for F&W, and I told them "Hey, did you know it will be the 30th anniversary?" and they replied, "Cool! Will they do anything special?"
"Um, not really. You get a "tag" on the fireworks."

There are the buttons and maps confirmed so far. Seems there may be some tricks up their sleeves though since it says "panels" but not which ones specifically. Also there is the rededication ceremony. So that is at least 3 confirmed things and a 4th that is confirmed but no full information on the panels yet. Seems like more than just an Illuminations tag.

As far as I can tell, the panels that were referenced are not going to be open to the public, they are for CMs. The panels talked about are repeats of some of the panels being presented the day before for D23 members [who paid $65 or $185 for the privilege depending on which package they bought].
I would not expect one single word about any kind of updates or expansion to the parks.

I bet there will be a special park map (possibly just 30th anniversary added to it) and a button. I wasnt expecting a huge event since it appears that it was thrown together from what i remember hearing for the 25th.
To me, it doesnt really matter what Disney actually does, Ill be there with friends and family. That is celebration enough.

Same. While I'm excited to be there for the 30th, it was an unexpected bonus. Our AP's expire in late October, and since our oldest is in High School marching band, the only break we have is that weekend/early that week for my wife and I to get away for a bit without the kids.

CM panels in the morning... Panels will be running throughout the day, and not all are for CMs.
Excited to see everyone that weekend and on 10/1!

At 3pm there will be a Rededication Ceremony at the American Gardens Theatre.

Part of the rededication should involve giving guests safety googles and sledgehammers to use on the "tombstones." :looksaround:
Just checking--each of these would be available to any Epcot park visitors, correct?
"Public" speaker panels in WS would be a nice add-on to the events of the 25th. Though with regard to Rededication Ceremony, Innoventions Plaza probably held a lot more people than AGT will.
Speaker pannels are confusing ATM. Information suggests they are D23 and thus paid for on the 30, and for cast only on the 1st, but information to cast members suggests world showplace will be open to guests on Oct 1.
I agree about the choice of any ceremony. Strange indeed.
