* 08:00 Illuminations - This is a spectacular show held daily at Epcot. Why not see this wonderful presentation with all of the Magical Mountaineers? Make sure to meet us at the Candian Pavillion McDonalds Fry Cart at 8:00 pm sharp so we can all go together to find a great spot.
* TBD Adventures Club - For the late nighters (immediately following Illuminations) For all you night owls, join us at the Adventurer's Club for some fun and "winding down" time. You may even be picked to be part of the show!

 

This really sounds like a good time, I wish that I could join you all there. Have fun.

 

Thanks Nathan!

 

Getting closer! Just a little over 24 hours from now, I'll be in my car headed north for WDW!

I'll be at Saratoga Springs for this stay - if anyone else is in Saratoga this weekend, let me know and maybe we could meet up before the Epcot thing. Otherwise, I'll see everyone at Raglan on Sunday night.

BTW - When is everyone else headed to Disney for this event - Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? Just wondering!

 

i will be there early saturday morning. see you there.

 

Excellent. See you there! Finishing up a day at the office so I can clear out of here around 3pm and beat the rush hour traffic through Palm Beach and get on up to Disney!

 

Have a great day everyone! I wish I was on my way there! I am jealous of you all. I have to settle for a weekend at Hershe Park. Oh well, I will try to get some nice pics to post here. Can't wait to hear all about the event.

 

off to the epcot thing. If you are going, see you real soon. Looking forward to meeting everyone there.

 

BREAKING NEWS: First pics of Epcot 25th Anniversary Mechandise

(reposted from Magical Mountain)

Jeff Lange checking in from the NFFC Disneyana sale. A preview of the Epcot 25th Anniversary Limited Edition shirts was on display. These are limited to 1982 shirts and offered as a limit of two per customer. I know I will be trying to get one. I also spoke with Rob (above), the designer of the line and more great Retro Epcot Center items are coming soon.

The special items are as follows: Epcot 25th Anniversary T-Shirt, Figment special plush with the old Epcot logos emblazoned on his coat, and a commemorative watch that features a light up wand over Spaceship Earth. The entire line is very tastefully done and beautifully done. 2 days to go!

Tim, I am hoping that you took a million photos at the finale of Illuminations. I am so upset that I couldn't be there, especially when I heard it was going to be 7 times bigger then anything else ever done. I can't wait to read reports of the day and to see pictures of it. I would even like to see a video if someone has one. Thanks for letting me live through you.
