An Overwhelming EPCOT 40th Anniversary Celebration at Disney World - New Merchandise & Early Entry

[@PlayitagainVHS]

I was at Epcot when it first opened 40 yrs ago.Happy Birthday Epcot !!! I love Epcot ❤️ Nice video Adam.👍👍👍🙂 The 40th Anniversary of Epcot was so nice.You did a great job filming everything Adam.I felt like I was there. 👍🙂✌️❤️

[@deadairconversion]

Epcot just proves that Walt didn’t just want to entertain children. He wanted to inspire everyone of all ages. A man ahead of his time for sure. Today’s Walt Disney Company wouldn’t be brave enough to build a place like Epcot

[@drsandy842]

We would do Spaceship Earth sometimes 3 times a day ! My kids absolutely loved it as do I! If you walk past it and do other things first you can get through rather quickly. Thank you Adam. Due to my disability progressing and and having a lowered immune system in Covid times. I could cried I wanted so badly to be there for both anniversaries. Thank you for bringing it to me in my home!

[@rhondaz356]

It was super to see you, Adam, enjoying the momentous occasion with *fellow enthusiasts. Glad you're all well. a super video👏🤠💖🎉

[@lucillegass4715]

Love when you all get together! You all bring me some much needed happy! Loved watching you figment shop!!thank you for taking us for the 40 th!!!😇

[@adventuresintvland]

Looks like it was quite the celebration. As Disney moves forward, I’m afraid the parks will diminish and lose the unique character each one has

[@astrosfan74]

My family and I went to Disney World in 1983 so we would of seen Epcot in its second year open. I really enjoyed going to both Epcot and the Magic Kingdom. We did comeback to Disney to see the opening of then MGM Studios and in 2015 went to Animal Kingdom. Also went to a former waterpark called River Country. Its no longer open but had fun at this waterpark when it was. Had fun at all of the Disney properties. Glad you all do as well.

[@reaper2478]

I tried to keep Spaceship Earth a secret before taking my kids down to the Park.. Then my wife ruined the surprise because she was so excited she was already ‘in the know!’ 😒 blurted it out! LOL

[@sarakeith5480]

A great day!! Always enjoy seeing you and your fellow vloggers having fun together!! Thanks Adam!!

[@Booberry12]

Celebration is my favorite place! My son and grandparents live there! Pure magic! 💜🖤

[@maryannsmith4046]

We were married on 10/2/82 and spent our honeymoon at Disney. Wanted to spend our 40th there this year, but the hurricane deterred us. Hopefully will come down in a couple of months. Don’t want to miss the celebration.

[@bridgetkorns8174]

Warmed my heart to watch Adam shopping for Figment Merch!

[@deniseolmstead6415]

I LOVE that they honored Walt so much.....that's the way it should always be.

[@pabulumm]

I think that's only because so many people complained about the lack of Walt during MK's 50th. I was there for the 50th and imho they really botched it. Glad to see they seem to have listened to the people and corrected course for the 40th.

[@deniseolmstead6415]

@@pabulumm Yes, they do seem to be paying attention! I'm glad they made it right and I sincerely hope they continue to in the future.

[@wellardsmith3629]

As much as I'd love to visit one day.... but I'm not spending £2,000 or £3000 to stand in lines and be pushed and shoved for a once in a life time visit. It's very different if you go all the time and have done everything over and over again.

[@manueldelapena7431]

Thanks for covering the 40th celebration Adam! Truly appreciate you sharing the Magic! 😎🤙🏽

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Wonderful 🎀Happy 40th Anniversary EPCOT!🎀 sorry you were not able to enjoy the special treats. They looked delicious. Really enjoyed your video & seeing everyone.

[@captbravomarvel4305]

You've really done an exceptional job vlogging this past week. You balanced the weather, the park and this event perfectly. And you and Brickey have a great chemistry together. You moreso hung out on property, with due respect towards all that was happening. Thanks for vlogging everything these past few days, we were in the path of Ian and also had to cancel our Epcot 40th trip. Your vlogs were dare I say relaxing and somewhat comforting to watch in comparison to the other vooggers who were trying to fear monger for likes and views.

[@Lambert58-v9i]

Innnnnnnnntoooo the station!

[@suziequeue2]

Thank you for bringing us to the 40th celebration of Epcot ❤️ Excellent experience 👍🏼

[@Lambert58-v9i]

Congregate innnnnnto the station. W your lanyards!

[@Sonny_Eclipse]

I was there October 11, 1982 I would’ve liked to of been there today it just wasn’t possible so thank you for the peek at the anniversary activities

[@georgestokes5116]

i like this people on the west coast of florida are dead. and this guy is going to Disney

[@bethkelly9206]

when are you going to be there for the work that you are concerned about? your help is needed so get there quickly!!

[@Stan_Cozener]

I have faith that Adam is doing the right thing. He is not doing this for money or clout. He is doing this posterity and to bring Disney to us lovers of Disney. As Jesus said, help thy neighbor, I have faith Adam will do what he needs to do to lend a helping hand. Praise the Lord!

[@tbnone2501]

Life should stop you think?

[@MyBackyardScience]

Watching this video today made us feel like we were at the 40th celebration with you! Thanks, Adam!

[@junebug58]

After seeing the last few Anniversary Events come to pass, ESP the 50th, seems they were a bit underwhelming...MK 25th was the best, glad I was there for the memory💜

[@gregsvlogshow]

Brickey lost his lunch on that ride, Adam's a good friend and didn't film it.

[@seven471]

I bought one of those stinkin cute Figment stuffed animals on the Disney shop website last night! I couldn't resist either. The other thing I thought was amazing looking was the magic band that Bricky got, but I just bought the plushie

[@Peajay007]

Ok!! THIS gave me FOMO even tho I’ve never set foot in EPCOT. This is how you celebrate!! Total Disneyland 60th vibes!!

[@Guernicaman]

Be honest. Are you, like me, a bit bummed out that EPCOT didn't end up being the Experimental Prototype, City of Tomorrow that Walt had envisioned? Or are you fine w/it being just another park? I mean, how much more awesome would it be if it were BOTH, a park & a community where the people who work & play at EPCOT also lived there?

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

Love seeing all you guys together ❤

[@jackiebeans2689]

WooHoo!!!! Thanks for taking us along!!!!🎉💫🎉💫🎉💫🎉💫

[@kristywood4503]

My husband and I were there yesterday and saw your group as we were in line for Spaceship Earth. We're in our late 40s and we enjoy following others our age with a genuine love for Disney. It was very special to be at EPCOT yesterday. Thanks for your content!

[@karenmbbaxter]

You are making me feel very old here. I travelled to The U.S. 30 years ago and the memory that stayed with me all that time was enjoying The Epcot Center. I can't remember a lot of other stuff from the trip even though we flew to many cities within 8 weeks. ....Luckily many people who have met me since I was a teenager still say I look the same so that is a bonus.

[@theresa7744]

Looks like you trimmed up your beard Adam!! Looks great 👍 So glad to get this Disney content 😊 xo Theresa

[@soccertl]

My wife got that Figment plush as well. So darn cute.

[@christinamedina3364]

It’s great seeing all the love you have for Figment. The first time I took my daughter to Disney was in 2009. I didn’t think she would enjoy Epcot as much as MK or AK, being that she was 4 ish years old. Needless to say, once she was Introduced to Figment, it was over. We went back home to Texas with plenty of Figment gear. Her Favorite being a stuffed plushy. Figment has always been a part of my family. 😊

[@EdoSora47]

Oh man! I passed you cause I remember seeing your shirt. Didn’t realize that was you! Would’ve said hi, I’m a big fan of your videos. Did my first Disney trip in 14 years and it was coincidence I went to Epcot on its anniversary

[@amydarling9715]

I saw you there, I was right next to you when you took a big group photo in front of the water with all the epcot 40th anniversary signs in the back by the Italy section. I was gonna say Hi but didn't want to bother you since you looked so busy so I will say it here HI! lol it was so nice seeing you. :)

[@Geneswagger]

Adam Pepsi and Coke were sold at both WDW and EPCOT until 1990. Then it was just Coke after that. The Country Bear Jamboree was sponsored by Frito Lay back then also.

[@ajharbison376]

The newspaper articles were really cool. Thanks for going the extra mile! Enjoyed those.

[@mike407r]

What I would like to know is did you hear any of the original Epcot main entrance theme music?

[@susetesquivel9505]

Looks like was a fantastic day .. and you had a blast !! Gracias to take us with you Adam ..

[@Tampafan33]

Wow Disney sucks now so bad. Glad im seeing other people open their eyes and leaving this joke of a company

[@Sam-02024]

Thank you for sharing your experience ✨(Thought you were going to buy that red and white baseball T! )

[@nell3753]

Thank u Adam && Mickey God 4 safety in Orlando & parks, staff !! Luv Figment👍🙂🪴🌉. All Disney/Epcot rocks !

[@kevinconaway1727]

I see were sporting the Abraham Lincoln look Adam again 😊, love Epcot, think it's my favourite

[@FunAtDisney]

The hot coffee under the mister was classic! Very funny… but personally it is an iced coffee for me on hot days (or iced tea)

[@cattmi5176]

Thanks, Adam! Great coverage. Sorry about the sponge cake. 😓

[@GDS_Michelle]

The 49th anniversary of Walt Disney World and the 38th anniversary of Epcot will be forever seared into my memory making October 1 not an enjoyable day. That’s the day in 2020 when I was told, “you’re going from furlough status to active status but you’re not allowed to work and December 4 will be your last day as a Cast Member.” in the most cold and monotonous delivery of bad news I’ve ever heard!! One of the things I miss regarding the anniversaries were the giveaways. The 15th anniversary of WDW, you had a chance to win a prize every time you scanned your ticket went through the turnstiles and that was the whole year. I won a visor with lights across the front that also had the 15th anniversary logo. I still have pieces of it because the plastic snapped during a move. I’m curious as to how many sponge cakes they actually made to sell out that quickly? And they only bothered to have each food item available in one location in the park, definitely a bad idea. They also could’ve had the merchandise spread out over several stores to not have insane lines. After I was rehired, I worked the day of the 50th and remember hearing the news of the guests smashing through the window at the Emporium to get to the coveted merchandise. It’s amazing it went that far but people make big money selling this stuff online!!

[@rmannayr2129]

BEVERLY CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewrutherford2206]

Hey Adam, it was great meeting you os of connexions, being there for the 40th and meeting you, definitely one of the memories of our vacation from the UK.

[@tamara8349]

Looks like you missed the show they did on Spaceship Earth with the lights and music. It had some good nostalgia also though I wish they would have included music from the Millennium Celebration in 2000.

[@DoofsInDisney]

Hey I saw us in line right in front of you. And I can hear us on your video in line for merch. YAY! We're Woo Famous!

[@AdventureStop]

Funny to think that us “West Coasters” as a kid in the 80’s thought EPCOT was entirely inside the giant ball…😂

[@101egals]

I think Pepsi was a sponsor at one time due to Pepsi being sponsor of Michael Jackson. Cause I think they sponsored Captain Eo which was the Michael Jackson movie that Disney Played there at EPCOT back when they first opened cause I remember see it when I went there as a teenager back in mid 80's.

[@reaper2478]

I LOVE me some Epcot! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@MyBackyardScience]

That first monorail shot with Spaceship Earth in the background was one of the best ever!

[@candarianpumpkin]

I really enjoyed that you showed photos of historical material that you found at that awesome library. I hoped there would be a museum of the history of EPCOT or some type of through the years exhibit. Also thought there might be an unveiling ceremony for the "Walt the Dreamer" statue.

[@rmannayr2129]

LOL GOOD OLD BEVERLY!

[@JamieMiles_southmainmuse]

Lordy. The WDIZ ad and Burdines. 😂. That was old school Orlando. Spent many hours listening to WDIZ and walking through Orlando Fashion Square. Fun look.

[@DarMar106]

It’s crazy how they put more effort into a one day celebration for Epcot then they did for the year long celebration for Disney World itself. Even just the day one kickoff last year. Wild

[@KimFusedFPV]

We were down end of August for Rotor Riot, a drone company in Orlando, look it up they are awesome so we didn't have the chance to visit the parks so your vlogs are super fun. I looked all over that town for a Figment stuffie, nothing. Thanks to this vlog, I have my 40th edition Figment on the way!! Thank you for sharing your shopping experiences!!😉

[@kathyquinn1211]

Thanks for this vlog. I was supposed to arrive 10/2 at Epcot but the hurricane delayed my road trip from NJ. Hopefully I'll be there on 10/8 !

[@christianbosman7]

Hi Adam this has reminded me that I first went to Disney and Epcot in October 1982 and I still have an Epcot grey 3/4 tank top and also a sleeveless hooded T-shirt from Kennedy space Center came up from Miami for 3 days on our holiday from the uk 🇬🇧

[@larafan70]

For a minute I thought that symbol was Hydra ( from the Captain America films including Winter Soldier. My fave).

[@shaolincruz2891]

❤sorry but out off all the 40th content from other KZbinrs,Adam will always be my top pick.This was awesome to watch thank you for sharing 👏🏻🙏🏻

[@hobinrood710]

Yeah nope, not ever going anywhere on "special days". I'd rather watch everyone else be miserable and anxious dealing with the crowds. I can't even handle a sold out Angels game. Shadenfreud.

[@TravelswithNick]

Great video Adam! We were in Disney earlier this year and your video felt like we were right back there! 😎🤘

[@neverjethot]

When I look for "Exploring Ryan" on YT it just shows videos from somebody's little kid.

I love the Figment plush with the little EPCOT 40 shirt. I gotta get that grew up on Figment and EPCOT and I are the same age soon to be

[@Becauseimme]

They totally trashed that park with their greed.

[@Aaron-ug3qz]

Agree...and anything that was out of the ordinary was saved for the after-hours event... wth...

[@theathjr]

Im with Brickie. I love those rides but my motion sickness is no joke. The motion sickness patch works great Brickie for rides and deep sea fishing as well . It’s worth the money brother.

[@Brett33]

I remember going to Disney World with my parents and being able to see the framework of Spaceship Earth being constructed.

[@lindawolski3173]

I don’t understand why Disney World can be SO packed, but yet you need to make park reservations! 🤔

[@louistoeknee3544]

Maybe take a day away from Disney and volunteer your time to help the people in your state who were affected by the hurricane

[@tbnone2501]

Any suggestions as to what volunteers are needed?

[@henrys3629]

Wow. I wonder how many of the attendees are "out-of-staters". That was a lot of people after a crazy weather event. Figment overload!

X-cast member. At the phones, if you dial 4 numbers ( I forgot the numbers ), Mickey will sing Happy Birthday. And there's 2 other songs. Also, if you ask a cast member in a store, free stickers.

[@NadaSurferTube]

Ahh if you ever remember the 4 numbers or any of the others, please let me know! My first guesses would be 1001, or 1205, or maybe 1313...lol
