Epcot's 40th Anniversary

Does anyone happen to know the time of the first Beacons show? @wdwmagic

I was talking to someone earlier who said they only made 250. She was told to complain at GR, who was “well aware of the situation.” I saw people leaving the building with them around 9:30, so I guess they lasted about that long.

I'm not sure why anyone should care. It's not it's going to last. It's food. Some ingredients get mixed Roger that look like Figment's wings on top then gets eaten. If you don't want to eat it, are you really going to try to preserve it! It's a variation on a cupcake.

Was wondering how big they were and the price. I just have this feeling they made a fortune on this.

Edit: Just googled a picture and the price was 6.49. Not bad at all and it’s kind of cute actually. I take back what I thought about being overpriced. I just get so used to everything else.

250 cakes at $6.49 is like 1600 bucks. Not really a fortune

Also, I literally grabbed an entire stack of like 100 maps to mail if there was anyone who wasn't able to make it that wants one. DM me your address if you'd like one!

Sorry I don’t know for sure, but somewhere close to 7:15

Is that supposed to be something? I'm sure it's good but okay...

" Happy 40th Anniversary to EPCOT - a park dedicated to the power of what’s possible when we come together and make our dreams tomorrow’s reality."

That's correct, Zach. Epcot is dedicated to making our dreams tomorrow's reality.

Now, can you explain how your comic book superhero rollercoaster supports that purpose?

I would honestly be very surprised if he had even the slightest say in whether or not Marvel should be included in the park.

Its his job to 'splain it isn't it?

And a half is pushing it.

So good to hear We Go On again.

It's no replacement for a WSL 40th Tag but......the 40th Beacon is STUNNING!!!!!! From OG Ridetracks(I think?) to ROE's Finale, to Walt!!!!!! Any word on if this stays after tonight???

Full Beacons show (from Blog Mickey)

Love the cheers when "We Go On" starts ... Love all the classic songs in it

 

[SaucyBoy]

So good to hear We Go On again.

WOW WOW WOW!!! We need this exact audio in the finale of the new show!!! Tears rolling down my face. "We Go On" remains the single greatest song ever written for a Disney park. Simply stunning and inspirational!!

 

[James Alucobond]

Love the show, but they need to do some maintenance on the beacon. From this angle alone, one light seems to be out completely, five have issues specifically with the radial starburst effect, and one seems to be displaying the wrong color every now and then.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Are some of the lights on the beacon not working correctly? When it makes the light that goes in multiple directions, several don’t do it.

 

[wdwmagic]

I’m getting jaded with the lights. It is very much like the projects. Seen one, seen them all, but with a different soundtrack. Would have much rather seen a firework tag.
