New Epcot blog...
 

Since Disney isn't doing anything to celebrate Epcot's 25th this year (I hear that Spaceship Earth will be down on the actual anniversary), I figured I'd start an Epcot appreciation blog.

I launched it yesterday, 100 days before the birthday, with the idea that I'd post one cool Epcot thing per day, whether it be a photo, a podcast, a memory, a factoid... whatever.

Today's post is a memory from our very own flippyshark.

You can check out the site here.

If you want to contribute, you know how to find me.

Cool. My parents might have some old photos from our family trips. I have this way-80s painter's cap. Ch-ch-check it out.

Oooh, I'll have to dig up my old Figment hat.

Cool... If I can get down there, I'll record Dave...

By the way, today's post is a podcast from The Meandering Mouse - it's a great retrospective on Horizons and Spaceship Earth.

...and Steph, I want a big picture of that hat (and any memories that go along with it) - PM me if you're game.

Ooooh, I am the most excited.


I will likely dig up several -to- many contributions.




I heard yesterday that Spaceship Earth might open November 1 - - one month too late.

:(

Ooh, I'll be in Florida in time to catch that - however - I doubt I'll have the time to head to Orlando. :(

ETA: I'll have to see if/where I have any pics... though I don't think I have them anymore.

Spaceship Earth was so cool. I have bunches of photos from my trip that I am still sorting through.

And I suppose I'm the only one who liked the magic Mickey wand over Spaceship Earth.

You are certainly in a smaller demographic. I know a few others who like it (and who were around before it went up, so they are favoring the wand even though they remember SE pre-1999) But by far the majority of Disney-phans I know are looking forward to its disappearance. (as am I)

I'm just wondering where they plan to store the darned thing.

I wonder how big John Stamos' back yard is...
