It's not that they won't do anything, but the Vice President of the park did state there were no plans for a large celebration.
He did not rule out the possibility of event merchandise, but that may be the extent of it.

I heard in an interview (somewhere), they said they felt the whole birthday celebration promotions have been exhausted, and that it's becoming confusing to people. First there was the 100th birthday celebration of Walt, then the 50th of Disneyland, and they felt like having a 25th for Epcot was just too much. They also said they were considering not having any major (18-month) birthday celebrations until WDW/MK's 50th.
Personally, I would like to see an Epcot birthday celebration, and perhaps they will in some way. However, I have to agree that the 18 month long birthday celebrations has been used too much in the last few years.
Everybody else is thinking it, I'm just saying it. - Mr Gibbs

When marketing the parks Disney spends money based on the amount of people they feel it will attract to the parks. The timing here is really bad the anniversay falls right at the end of YOAMD. I don't thnk they want to follow a huge campaign like this with Epcot's 25th Anniversary. They seem to be moving away from park and resort specific celebrations more towards a global Disney Parks Brand marketing period. I know they are celebration DLP's 15th this year but I'm thinking the overseas parks haven't seen many of this type of celebration so it is still fresh for their consumer base.

Or maybe they could just get an agreement with Callaway and turn it in to a golf ball. That would be a lot less work for them

It's a shame that there's not a big celebration surrounding Epcot's 25th. Like another poster stated, they are definitely moving toward global celebrations instead of park specific, but I sure hope that at least there will be merchandise offered celebrating the event.
Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

Funny how just yesterday my husband came across the map for WDW MK with the picture of the Cake on the front from 1997. We laughed at how funny we thought it was that year. Only the front of the castle was done like the cake and the back still looked normal. Also how the tall peices would lean and bend when the wind was blowing. The best thing they could do for Epcot is take down that wand for the celebration. It so takes away from the Earth look!

Hopefully they don't forget to light it...
At least they've got some retro merchandise starting to come out. It's cool to see the original logo in the stores again.
Now, bring me that horizon... 8(:-D

What I don't get is that Disney is celebrating all these trivial anniversaries. There actually marketing the 15th for DL Paris, and merchandising the DVC's 15th year. Are you kidding? A time share program gets merchandising????
Someone needs a boot up their heiny at Disney. This is moronic.
