So with Epcot's 25th coming up what can we expect another Tapestry Parade? And if so what do you think would be it's theme? We have already had Dreams (My Personal Favorite so Far!) and Nations. These parades are so amazing and colorful. The are now my favorite over Share a dream at MK. Can we even expect another Tapestry?

ABSOLUTELY! I believe that Rob (MKT) is currently working to create a one man tapestry show - the same amount of puppets... one cm. BRILLIANT ROB!
j/k.

i loved these parades, too... but i highly doubt we see them return! From what I've been told, the puppets were very 'rough' on our great entertainment cms!

I wouldn't bet on it. The tapesty parades caused a lot of health problems for the performers and I doubt it will ever return.

Well, if they did the puppets more like Jammin Jungle's, then there would be less of a back pain problem.

that is very true.
i would love to see actual floats in an epcot parade this go-round... i think paris' ImagiNations parade would be such a perfect fit for Epcot... "all around the world, the sun is shining, the dawning of a brand new day is here"
love that music!

several of them loom over the cubicles at the "puppet graveyard" also known as the Maingate Building on Sherberth road. they also have some of the puppets from Legend of L. King and a few other things. It was a neat experience to be in that building!

Please god, No Tapestry Ever Again.

Actually, there's a very VERY minute chance something might occur, or nothing at all. Don't know what yet. I good friend of mine in WDW entertainment has informed me that a few weeks ago they had an 8 hour Tapestry Puppet Private Event held for Walt Disney Entertainment. If it's a WDE event, it could either be a fitting/creative costuming thingymaboober, or it could be a rehearsal for a private event.

Either way, Just Say No to Tapestry

I wouldn't be surprised if a new Illuminations was created. And that would be nice, considering that the last time one was made was shortly after Test Track was released and EPCOT gained all that popularity. If it was my choice, I'd have a great new advertising campaign with mention of a new fireworks show. And make a really good Illuminations. I'd like to see one twenty minutes long.

EDIT: On another note, I finally found the Intercot website again and started reading all the EPCOT ride transcripts. I haven't done that since 2004. It brings back a lot of memories, seeing those good rides and fireworks shows preserved in history until the end of time. *gets teary-eyed*

I absolutely loved the Tapestry of Nations parade. I really hope they might bring back something similar with the old music (heya, heya-lol). Seeing this parade at night before Illuminations was one of the most amazing moments at WDW I have ever experienced. It was just a breathtaking experience to see two great shows (ToN and Illuinations) back to back. Anyway, I really hope Illuminations: RoE doesn't change. I think the music for Illuminations: RoE is amazing and would it would be very difficult, though possible, for Disney to create a show as brilliant as this. Hopefully Disney can figure out a way to bring back the ToN parade without causing damage to CMs' health. It was just a brilliant, creative, and innovative parade I hope to be able to see again.

Yes, Reflections Of Earth is an incredible show, but I'd like to see at least a few minor updates. At the very least make it a few minutes longer. It's such a breathtaking experience that made even my ears tear up, and it passed so quickly that I remember wishing that it was longer.

At the very least, next girlfriend I get, if I ever go up to Orlando with her, I'm definitely bringing the two of us to Illuminations and making out Robb and Elissa Alvey style (seen the wedding video?).

Very True, even though they were desinged by the same person.

Tapestry was great, but made WS a pain to navigate during the parade.

What about the costumes for the Sage of Time or Dreamseekers? What ever happened to them?

As a guest I didn't like it. As a performer I hated it.
