Epcot's 30th anniversary
Maybe we could use this thread to collect all news and informations of the upcoming anniversary.
Today the Disneyparks Blog announced that there will be some merchandise and revealed some cool pins and a new jumbo pin.

I still hope that they make an event in October. If so I really need to travel to Orlando this year.
More merchandise

Re: Epcot's 30th anniversary
Good idea! I hope they do some fun things since I will be down there on a CP. I've never been during a big event like an anniversary.

Re: Epcot's 30th anniversary
Ooooooooooo....pins. Wow. They've realy put a bunch of hard work in coming up with the merchandise. Special anniversary CD set like they did with DL's 50th? No. Some retro stuff that hasn't been made since the park opened in 1982? No. Just pins. Next, it's the T-shirts...
They're not doing as much for 30th. Seems like DLP is doing more for their 20th than they're doing for EPCOT's 30th over here...

Re: Epcot's 30th anniversary
Of course, not much of a celebration but enough new merchandise to spend money on. That pin is nice...

Re: Epcot's 30th anniversary
An updated CD box set would be nice, but I wonder if those have gone the way of the dinosaurs with most music seeming to come in downloadable form these days?mindflipper wrote:Ooooooooooo....pins.

Didn't stop Tokyo Disneyland from outdoing DL's 50th when they had 25th - they had a 10 CD boxset!

That is because TDL is simply awesome!! I wish I had known about it - I'm going to have to stalk eBay to find a set!mindflipper wrote:Didn't stop Tokyo Disneyland from outdoing DL's 50th when they had 25th - they had a 10 CD boxset!

Re: Epcot's 30th anniversary
Can we hope that pins are a start? I do like the pin designs but it would be a hige let down if that is all they do. Personally I think retro shirts would be nice, but keep in mind that there is a line that has been out for a few years now. Maybe some retro inspired 30th shirt then?

Re: Epcot's 30th anniversary
Yeah they already have some fantastic retro Epcot Center shirts there. Maybe they'll decorate the park or do something special.

Re: Epcot's 30th anniversary
That is amazing. Hopefully, they do that projection of this onto the ball...like they do with the Castle. I'd bet they do! I HOPE they do!theBIGyowski wrote:Ok yeah...that jumbo pin is insane awesome!!!

Re: Epcot's 30th anniversary
Wasn't the 10 cd boxset literally just a box with 10 of the previous park CDs in them? As opposed to the 50th boxset they had at DLR where it was compiled audio.
Re: Epcot's 30th anniversary
That would present a pretty interesting technical challenge because of the multiple facets of the ball. You'd practically have to come up with a custom graphic to account for the different angles of each facet, I don't think it would look good otherwise. I'm sure if could be done, but it'd be pretty time consuming!lonepalm wrote:theBIGyowski wrote:Ok yeah...that jumbo pin is insane awesome!!!
