The Incredible Summer offerings at Walt Disney World are just getting started. This week brings a brand new event: Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Live at Epcot at the America Gardens Theatre at Epcot. This musical performance features a live band, Gamora, Star Lord, and even a sighting of Baby Groot.
The story, according to Disney…
”After saving their world from certain destruction, Peter Quill—a.k.a. Star Lord—brokered a deal with Nova Prime and the Xandarian government to bring an outreach program to his home planet. The purpose? To share Xandar’s rich heritage and culture with Earth’s people.
As luck would have it, Peter informed Xandar’s leaders that there’s already a place on Earth with a similar mission… a theme park called Epcot, where all of Earth’s cultures are celebrated. So, as part of their first outreach, Xandar has sent some of their most talented performers to showcase their music!”
Showtimes are at 1:30, 2:30, 5:30, 6:45 and 8:00 daily June 9th through August 19th, 2018.
I’m guessing this is going to be similar to the overarching story of the ride in the Universe of Energy pavilion?
Sure! Walt’s vision for his experimental community was to have fictional characters come to Earth for an “outreach” program.
Sorry, I love Guardians and will be excited to experience the ride….but this just furthers FutureWorlds fragmented theme.
