Epcot 30th anniversary schedule released

The 30th anniversary of Epcot is on Oct. 1 - and while there will be no 13-month Disney celebration as there has been with other major milestones - guests on that day will still be able to attend some anniversary events.

Three history presentations will be taking place in the World Showcase, courtesy of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, a special anniversary moment and a special Illuminations, according to the Disney Parks Blog.
