Epcot’s 25th Anniversary is October 1
I had never given very much thought to just how old my favorite part of Disney World was, but it is younger than I would have thought. It has come such a long way in such a short time. Believe it or not, it turns 25 years old on October 1st of this year. And surprisingly enough, there are no huge celebrations being scheduled. I would have thought that the place would be featuring all kinds of activities. But apparently not.
But if you would like to know a little about the history of the park, Charles Ridgway is the man to ask. He was the publicist and the press agent for over 40 years, so I’m sure he shares lots of what he remembers in his book. I have to admit, I have often wondered how the parks got their start!
Charles Ridgway
“In his engaging memoir, “Spinning Disney’s World: Memories of a Magic Kingdom Press Agent,” Charlie describes how the opening ceremonies for Epcot were touch and go until the very last minute. He also tells the fascinating story of how that event ushered in the brave new world of electronic news gathering and satellite transmission that we take for granted today.”
*And it just happens to be my favorite Disney Park! So, which park is your favorite of all the parks??
