D23’s EPCOT 30th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
Posted onOn Sunday, September 30, 2012, D23's Epcot 30th Anniversary Celebration 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," and the novelty of "riding on sunshine," and were awed by a massive geodesic sphere called Spaceship Earth. Tickets will be available for purchase on June 21 at 10 a.m. on D23.com.
