Where's part 2??

[SpookyAbductee]

Why did they take down the beautiful glass fountain at the entrance of Spaceship Earth? There's still a fountain, but the beautiful colorful glass display with Epcot's symbol form the 80's has been gone for years...

What a shame! I now remember how beautiful they were by watching this grand opening, what a great way to open up the best Disney park!

[Supermassively]

@SpookyAbductee Because Disney has abandoned the amazing vision they originally had for the park, and has turned it into a "Thrill Ride park".

I hope they do a 30th anniversary celebration, because if they do, I'm going, sadly I missed the 25th anniversary.

[Supermassively]

@mcog2006 They won't. Disney has given up on celebrating the future. The best you can hope for is a Thrill Ride Celebration on the 10th anniversary of Mission: Space or the 15th anniversary of Test Track.

Gotta love the choreography...and the jumpsuits.

Having said that, every girl that I grew up dancing with dreamed of dancing for Disney. Only one actually did.

You would not believe how similar Epcot's rededication was to this one. It paid such wonderful homage and respect to Walt and the park's founding principles. I do hope somebody puts it up on YouTube soon... because I was in the crowd!

So was I

[Supermassively]

@SurferClock Shame that the park in general has abandoned those principles.

I'm so happy they are having a rededication ceremony tomorrow! Plus they'll have limited edition retro park maps and commemorative pins! :3 I can't go though, but my best friend is bringing me back somethings and is taking pics! There'll be tons of other events that day too! If only I could be there at the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow :(

[kuetmr]

I'm sure one of us will put the rededication ceremony on here too.

[kuetmr]

Yes! The Walt Disney Company has decided to hold a re-dedication Ceremony after all.  Thank you to all who have made this possible. You are the greatest!

[shainehobdy]

I was part of the Opening Dedication Celebration! Thank you for reminding me of the magic !

Yey! Something after IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth!
