With great fanfare, Epcot celebrated its 35 Anniversary this past October 1. The Epcot 35 Commemorative Ceremony included an Epcot Musical Tribute by the legendary “Voices of Liberty” – including songs like Making Memories, Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit; One Little Spark, and Horizons. There were also special D23 Presentations and a special Epcot 35 Tribute following Illuminations that evening – Illuminations 35.
If you’re an Epcot fan, you know that every fall brings the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. A major part of that festival is the “Eat to the Beat” Concert series. Eat to the Beat is a nightly concert series featuring popular bands from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s included with Epcot admission. Eat to the Beat features 3 performances a night during the festival. For Epcot 35, the series featured its first country performer, Mark Wills. That’s Mark wearing an “Epcot 35 I was There” T-Shirt – and as it turns out, Mark is a huge Disney fan. In fact, Mark is the self-proclaimed ‘Disney Fanatic of Country Music” – and I had an opportunity to ask him a few questions earlier in the day. This episode of SamsDisneyDiary features parts of the interview and concert from Epcot 35.
