Epcot’s 25th Anniversary Gallery is worth a stop
Hidden inside Innoventions, just around the corner from the Epcot Character Spot, is a new and probably short lived gem of Walt Disney World. It is called the Epcot 25th Anniversary Gallery, and it explores the history of this wonderful theme park.
The gallery has the words “Creating the New World of Tomorrow” above its entrance and it features a visual history of Epcot Center. It is chock full of artifacts, models and concept drawings. All of which are serious eye candy for the Epcot lovers and especially heartwarming for the purist.
You’ll find some great artifacts and even a wonderful collection of some of the very first merchandise sold at Epcot Center…
Those of you out there, and I know there are quite a few, who miss the classic Future World attraction Horizons may just shed a tear when they see this display case dedicated to the extinct attraction…
And these photos just scratch the surface. It is not a big room, and they could probably make it three times as big if they wanted, but it is till a great walk down memory lane. The next time you are at Epcot, get yourself out of the blistering heat or passing shower and take a look inside Epcot’s 25th Anniversary Gallery. If you are a lover of Epcot, you will not be disappointed.

I agree wholeheartedly! My wife and I found this treasure by accident, looking for a bathroom, and visited it a few times before the week was over. I could stand to see a lot more programming of this nature, considering how public the construction/inception of Epcot was back in the 1980s.
The best part — the video presentation titled “We’re Getting Ready.” CLASSIC TUNE!

Man, you should have posted this two weeks ago
I was in WDW this past week, so I missed the post, and missed the Gallery in Epcot. Nooooooooooooo!
