Epcot Rededication Ceremony Video

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 23:46:06 EST

You can now view the entire Epcot25 re-dedication ceremony here.UPDATE: WDWMagic has uploaded the Illuminations: Reflections of Earth Epcot25 Tag here (no pass required). The video quality is excellent. As for the show itself, it goes down in my book as best special fireworks show ever (passing Princess andamp; Pirate Party, 4th of July, etc), quite possibly even challenging the 3 current night-time shows. A huge thanks once again to Jim MacPhee for putting all of this together (in what to me was the perfect Epcot25 commemoration) and for all the fans who forced him to do it. This is something that should be done every year on the park's anniversary (at least the fireworks) and hopefully today will have proved how popular something like this can be.

Epcot25 Coverage

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 15:53:37 EST

Just a quick note that while we hope to get photos and videos later on, you can see a near-live update (with pictures) at the Having a Wonderful Time Blog, The Orlando Sentinel, and WDWMagic . Included are pictures of the stage, the LE shirts, the humongously awesome (and hopefully not one-day-only) retro guidemaps (that include the EPCOT Center logo, the EpCot logo and a 25th logo) and much more. So why not go over to that site right now. It's probably the next-best thing to being there.
