On this day in 2007, the EPCOT letters and Mickey Mouse arm, glove, wand, and stars that had decorated Spaceship Earth were removed. The installation was added for Walt Disney World’s Millennium Celebration in 2000. It weighed 50 tons and included a 36-foot-tall sign! Originally, the display above Spaceship Earth read “2000,” but it was changed to “EPCOT” in 2001. The removal began just in time for EPCOT’s 25th anniversary in October 2007.
