I'd say "there's always the 50th", but given what MK got for that anniversary it doesn't look good for EPCOT either....

I remember the 30th basically ripped a hole in the space time continuum with how loud and excessive it was.
A shame they won’t repeat

I mean, it's obvious. But this is already lacking compared to the rushed together 25th.

Epcot has been in a unique drop sequence for at least 15 years in which it seemingly reaches rock bottom and then…scream!…it sinks even lower!

Not really 40th specific, but yesterday it sounded like Japan had switched their courtyard music back to the original loop?

We all would love to see the company actually make an effort during celebrations. That’s not Disney anymore. They have parks that are packed almost daily year round now. Hotels are full for the most part. They are making money hand over fist. Why would we expect them to spend a penny more for something that will cost money and they can’t get more people in the park anyway. They actually don’t want to deal with that. This is a different Disney from the past and as much as we, the people that have loved this park for decades want them to continue things from the past, it’s not going to happen. Just enjoy your cupcake if you go and that’s it.

that's pretty optimistic. You think there will be cupcakes?

If it's themed to create thoughts of most 40th birthday parties, the cupcake flavor profile will be stale and vanilla.

Surely they will have a special popcorn bucket!
But with silver-colored frosting and rainbow sprinkles.
I hear the queue has already started for it. It's just a blue box, though, they couldn't think of anything more creative for the 40th.

You will need to watch the Big Thunder graphic for 72 hours (don’t you dare reload or fall asleep!) in order to secure of VQ that guarantees the opportunity to buy a $49 bucket but only while supplies last and as long as it is sunny but not over 90 degrees.
