Just writing to ask you guys about anything you're looking forward to, or even what you're really wishing to see during EPCOT's 30th anniversary.

Not much, at least nothing yet... Disney didn't really have anything planned for the 25th, until the fan groups started planning their own "celebrations"; then Disney put together the ceremony that morning...

I'm sure they will mention it and will have some merchandise, but I don't think they will do anything more than that...

D23 is having an event for the 30th at EPCOT on September 30th. The high end tickets are sold out, but the lower end tickets ($60) are still available.

October 1, 2012, marks the 30th anniversary of Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort and D23: The Official Disney Fan Club invites its members and their guests to fete one of Disney’s crowning achievements on this special occasion. The event will whisk D23 Members back to a time touted as when “the 21st century begins”—those early Epcot years when guests first marveled at “Astuter Computers,” “Smellitzers,” the novelty of “riding on sunshine,” and were awed by a massive geodesic sphere called Spaceship Earth.

D23′s Epcot 30th Anniversary Celebration offers the most detailed look at the design, development, and evolution of Epcot ever presented by The Walt Disney Company.

World Passport general admission includes:
• Access to all presentations
• A commemorative gift
• Access to exclusive D23 merchandise

SOLD OUT
World Key level admission includes:
• All features of the World Passport admission
• Reserved seating for all presentations
• A special dessert reception at 8 p.m. inside an exclusive Future World lounge
• Exclusive meet-and-greet opportunity with Disney Legends and Epcot luminaries
• Reception will also include screenings of rare film footage of Epcot’s early days

The celebration will feature rare and never-before-seen artwork; film and video footage and photos; along with a number of pioneers of Epcot, including such Disney Imagineers, Legends and Epcot luminaries as Marty Sklar (exclusive pre-taped presentation), Tony Baxter, Ron Schneider, Charlie Ridgway, Ron Logan, Bill Sullivan, Bob Garner, Jason Surrell, Jason Grandt, Alex Wright, Duncan Dickson and Steve Taylor.

NOTE: Available only to D23 Members in good standing. Members may reserve a ticket for themselves and three (3) guests. Epcot admission is required and not included with the cost of aticket. D23 Members will be required to provide their membership number when reserving tickets. Tickets may be picked up only with a valid photo ID AND D23 MEMBERSHIP CARD. D23 Members who do not bring their membership card may not be admitted to the event. Ticketed members who do not attend the event forfeittheir place as well as all experiences, benefits, and gifts associated with the event. If you wish to request sign language interpreting services for this event, please submit your request to GuestRelations@D23.com at least two weeks prior to the event date. All D23 Special Events are subject to change without notice. There are no cancellations or refunds, and tickets are not transferable.

I shan't be back to EPCOT this year---hoping to make next year.

They always do merch. I was there last year for the 40th at WDW and they weren't even making a big deal about that.

Only one more week until EPCOT Center's 30th! I am bummed that I can't make it this year. I tried to make it work, but it didn't pencil out in the end.

One nice consequence of the 25th anniversary was the explosion of retro merchandise that continues to this day. Hopefully, the enduring popularity of the original EPCOT Center will provide the impetus for more cool merchandise and music releases over the next few years.

Those of you who are stuck at home this year might enjoy the photo retrospective posted at http://www.imagineeringdisney.com. Lots of rare vintage shots of dearly departed attractions.
