Epcot's 40th Anniversary

[jrhwdw]

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.

I get your point but I do think the SSE Lights are the best thing Epcot has done since Sep 2021!!

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

Review: Walt Disney’s chain smoking ensured he had no taste buds

Yeah, those five / six lights obviously not functional kinda puts a little damper on what is otherwise a nice little nostalgic nod.

Some might see this ironically as a wry visual representation of 'Today's Disney' and their attitude towards this Park's legacy.

But I digress....

Those lights are purty, but need some attention.

They usually fix broken lights here quickly, so there’s that. They’ve burned out previously and it doesn’t last long. They only leave burned out lights at their deluxe resorts and on Main Street, USA where no one expects better.

Give us more fireworks, Disney!!! Make it special!!

It's really inexcusable tbh. Epcot 25, 30, and 35 all had tags (I was there for the two latter), so there is no reason why 40 couldn't have reused the same exact show.

Possible hurricane damage?

Probably because, unlike Illuminations, not as many people stay around to watch Harmonious. I would watch Illuminations every time. Easy to add a tag. Harmonious is one and done for me. They're replacing the show next year anyway. So why bother adding a tag to it.

As disappointing as no fireworks tag was, I had to say I was relieved to not “have” to stay for Hummus. Thank you for giving us advance notice!

Between the Beacons and the original BGM, the entrance was the place to be this evening.

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

That’s why I added the edit.

Except the fact that I’ve visited Epcot many times in the past year and some of those lights have been out since last December. A few others have been out since at least June.

If so, that’s not good. I’ve seen some out and then back during a future trip.

There’s 2 facing towards The Land and Seas that have most definitely been out since December. There’s been one in front that hasn’t been working with the star shaped lights since at least June, however it was only one. The several that were broken today are new. As of last week they were working fine

Full Beacons show (from Blog Mickey)

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

This is a much better Epcot Forever than the one on the lagoon.

This is a much better Epcot Forever than the one on the lagoon.

Definitely nice hearing the original version of the songs (or at least original sounding) vs the covers/remixes that were in EF

Again, please PM me if you want a map. I saved about 4 stacks this size from being thrown in the trash, and hell would freeze over before I sell them on Ebay

I would love one please and thank you
