Well, well... from http://www.mouseplanet.com (http://www.mouseplanet.com)  :lol:

QuoteWe've received an interesting report that at least three World Showcase pavilions will be receiving makeovers in preparation for Epcot's 25th anniversary in October 2007. Reportedly, the movies in France and Canada will receive updates and Mexico's El Rio del Tiempo boat ride attraction will be completely re-Imagineered based upon the film The Three Caballeros. Film footage for the upgraded attraction would be shot in Mexico this spring. If this story pans out, Donald Duck, Panchito and Jose Carioca would become the latest animated characters to become the stars of a pavilion. We'll bring you more information as we receive it.

From Screamscape.com:

QuoteSeveral Epcot fans are now officially ticked off at Disney after a statement was made by Brad Rex (VP of Epcot) that Disney wouldn't be having any kind of 25th anniversary celebration for Epcot on October 1st, 2007. Angry and disappointed, fans of Epcot are taking matters into their own hands and are planning to hold their own unofficial celebration and inviting everyone to join them at the park on October 1st, 2007. Currently the event is free for registration and you can pull up information on their efforts here (//http://www.freewebs.com/zmanatr/codenamecelebration25.htm).
