New Annual Passholder Flower Pot Mugs Arrive, 50th Anniversary Rubik’s Cube, & More: EPCOT Photo Report 4/24/2022

It’s time for a Sunday stroll and we are strolling around EPCOT! Let’s get going.

New Annual Passholder flower pot mugs have sprouted up at Creations Shop. These match the Figment mug we unearthed a few days ago.

Each mug features the stars of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival 2022. Orange Bird, Spike the Bee, or Mickey and Minnie are on one side, and the festival logo is on the other.

The handle of each says ”Passholder.”

A new Luxe hoodie has been added to collection. This one is all white and has a front pocket covered in the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary logo.

At Gateway Gifts we discovered another keychain set, but this time it features princess crowns from five different princesses.

If you are a Rubik’s Cube master, you will need to add this 50th Anniversary one to your collection.

Each side features one of the fab eight in their 50th Annniversary costumes.

We are ending our day with a spark of imagination. Thanks for joining us today!

BREAKING: Original Space Mountain to Permanently Close, Entirely New Version Opening 2027 at Tokyo Disneyland

The Oriental Land Company has announced that the classic Space Mountain attraction at Tokyo Disneyland is to be replaced with an entirely new version of the attraction, set to open in 2027. With this, Space Mountain as we know it will close permanently at some point in 2024, following the park’s 40th Anniversary celebrations.

The announcement came with a single piece of concept art, showing the new plaza to be built around the new attraction in Tomorrowland. The iconic attraction and its building, which was cloned from the Disneyland version and opened with the park on April 15, 1983, are presumably to be demolished or heavily modified for this new version. The Oriental Land Company said the following about the project:

“Space Mountain, an exhilarating, indoor roller coaster that takes guests on a high-speed joy
ride through space, has been a favorite of guests since the Grand Opening of Tokyo
Disneyland in 1983. This entirely new attraction will maintain its original concept as an
indoor roller coaster, but will have enhanced performance and immersive special effects that
will give guests even more thrills on this exciting rocket ride.

The new Tomorrowland plaza will express the connection between Earth and the universe,
representing an image of a future where humans are in harmony with nature. Guests will be
able to enjoy moments of rest and relaxation in this plaza where various icons and other
design elements create a sense of hope for the future. After dark, the area will draw guests
into a spectacular world of light and soundscapes.”

The new attraction building design seems to take inspiration from Shanghai Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, with a large ramp leading up to the attraction similar to Tron Lightcycle Power Run.

Approximately ¥56 billion ($437 million) will be spent on this project, with the Space Mountain name and theme to be retained as well as Coca-Cola’s sponsorship. The new version will open in 2027.
