Are you hoping to celebrate EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary? See if you are eligible to attend this special event.
EPCOT40
On October 1, 1982, Card Walker dedicated the second park in Walt Disney World, saying, “May EPCOT Center entertain, inform, and inspire, and above all may it instill a new sense of belief and pride in man’s ability to shape a world that offers hope to people everywhere in the world.” Since then, EPCOT has invited guests to journey around the world, the depths of the sea, and to galaxies beyond belief!
So far, little has been said about EPCOT’s 40th anniversary celebration. We had a little clue not too long ago about what is in store, which you can read about HERE. We know the official celebration will take place on October 1, 2022.
During D23’s Expo event a couple of weeks ago, we learned a new nighttime spectacular will debut! You can read more about that announcement in Susan’s post HERE. The new nighttime spectacular is expected to be part of the anniversary celebration.
