October 1st, 2012 — Disney Parks celebrated Epcot®’s 30th Anniversary yesterday with a number of different events both available for the public and only available to D23 members that were lucky enough to get the tickets for. Disney started the day with a presentation at the America Gardens Theatre. Meg Crofton, President Walt Disney Parks and Resort Operations for North America and Europe joins other Disney Executives and Epcot cast members and guests in the celebrations. According to Disney the on-stage performances included performances from iconic Epcot musical groups and colorful burst of confetti. Throughout the day, Disney had treated guests to limited-edition anniversary buttons, souvenir map, and specially-themed merchandise. At the end of the day there was a special ending to the Illuminations: Reflections of Earth Display to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Epcot.
This alone makes me want to try and be there for Animal Kingdoms 15th anniversary next year. For those of you that were able to attend the event, I would love to hear back from you with your comments on how things went.
