Not sure if this has been posted yet, but if it is, feel free to remove it.

I received my annual report for the Walt Disney Company today, and what would you think was on the cover? Why, Mission: SPACE of course! Big full color photo of the outside and if the ride is half as exciting as the building is, its going to be great!!

Here is what Eisner says about it in his Letter to the Shareholders, page 8:

"The cover of this annual report provides one dramatic example of the kind of entertainment that people can get only from Disney. It is the Mission:SPACE pavilion at Epcot. This attraction, opening in 2003, will provide guests with sensations of lift-off, weightlessness and re-entry that, until now, were experienced only by astronauts and cosmonauts. Sponsored by Compaq, this will be a spectacular and unique entertainment experience...unless you can book a flight on the Space Shuttle. I've almost gotten up the courage to go on it."

Nothing that we didnt already know, but its interesting to see it as the cover of the annual report. Expectations appear to be very very high for this attraction.

That said, the photo on page 2 of the corporate officers in front of the headquarters is kind of cute. All of the men are wearing what appear to be Disney ties and some women have Mickey scarves on :)

Yea I got mine last week, and I was amazed by the picture on the cover, very cool. I havent read it, but I did find out that Disney owns the history Channel.

A friend of ours has quite a bit of stock in Disney (poor guy) and he said that he meant to bring me the annual report when we saw him and his wife a few days ago. He said there was something about Disney's future plans for Epcot and he thought I might like to see it. I asked him if he was Project Gemini and he said he thought that's what it was, but he couldn't remember.

Does it say anything about Gemini????
