Florida Recap - The Epcot Thing Schedule - Production Update.

Florida Recap:

Hi everyone, I have just returned from another very productive trip to Walt Disney World last week. I was able to attend the very last Pirate & Princess Party of the season and record the special features including the all new floats from Disney's Enchanted Adventures Parade (see below). I also recorded footage for my upcoming Walt Disney World 'Class of 1971' title featuring all the Magic Kingdom opening day attractions as they appear today.

The Epcot Thing:

While in Florida I was also able to meet with Ron Schneider (the first and original strolling Dreamfinder & Figment) and plan our event at ' The Epcot Thing' on October 1st. Ron is a great guy with endless stories from Epcot Center & Journey Into Imagination's past! The schedule has been released and it is as follows:

The Epcot Thing, Monday Oct 1st, 2007

This meet is designed for those who need coffee before our 9 am meet. Join us at Epcot's World Showcase entrace hotel for some joe and to walk with us to Epcot.

To start off "The Epcot Thing" Celebration we begin our day with the official rededication ceremony at the Fountains of Nations Plaza.

Free time. This bit of a break in the day will give everyone the opportunity to go off on their own if they please to eat and explore the wonders of Epcot.
